Great news that you know for sure which ship you're on. Yes, it's not the earlier one but, after all, it's only a matter of a few days. Congrats.

[ihyln]

Yes but I wanted to play with it for 4th of july weekend down by the shore >:|

[spark146]

So, how did you get all of the details on your shipment (booking #, id #, etc.)? I only was given (told) the barest of info.

Put in your VIN and it will tell you

Thanks. Got it...checked it...confirmed it. On the Courage. Who knows, though: maybe one of the port workers will take mine home for the July 4th weekend!

I'll make a trip to the NY port and do a wheres waldo for my car

I'm on the Don Juan as well. Looks like it will sit at the delivery center over the 4th of July weekend. Such a shame...

I'm in Bergen County also... when do you think it will get to the dealer?

E90 DCT as well.

Wow! I'm surprised to find the number of ports the Don Juan will stop at on the way to NY.

I'm in Nutley. My dealer states that it should be ready for me by the 6th or 7th but I think he's slightly optimistic. The Courage slipped to 7/01 so I don't feel that bad about not getting on that ship but I still think I would have the car before the 4th if it was. Oh well, nothing like another agonizing wait during your days off.

Here's another port site where you can check the arrival and departure of the ships on their stop in Southampton, UK before heading across the Atlantic

http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/shipping_movments.asp
Don Juan arrives on 6/25 at 730 and departs on 6/25 to Halifax at 1800

Did this puppy land yet?? All the tracking reports seem to be outdated.

I was at a pier in NYC today for a walk, and saw the Don Juan in the port of Newark. I'm sure it's the Don Juan after comparing the ship with the photos online.

Thought you guys'd like to know, if not already learnt from WW's web tracker already.

I found out that my car has been unloaded and is on its way to the VPC. I called my dealer to find out if I could get a firmer date on the pickup and the manager said "NEXT WEEK" and I did a doubletake. My CA said I should have it by Wednesday at the absolute latest! (He's currently on vacation)

Great news; good luck!

My M3 was on the Don Juan as well. However, I will not get my car until August 7 as I take the PCD. That seems to be another 4 weeks extra waiting time!

in jersey the VPC is on the pier a few hundred yards from where the ship docks. I can't imagine the car getting to your dealer much past wednesday, but please keep me posted as my E92 is on the Independence II due in next Monday and i'm curious as to when I'm gonna get it.

[ihyln]

That's what I'm thinking. When I received my 530i I got it a day after it reached port. I'll let you know

it says my car was unloaded at 23:14 on Saturday night. I wonder if they work on Sunday and get the car all prepped up and put on a trailer. Now Im excited about tomorrow.
