Schnooper · 04-10-2013, 01:42 AM

Well after almost a week of sitting at Zeebrugge, my car should be getting loaded on MORNING CINDY today.

Will update when its on the boat.

Schnooper · 04-10-2013, 07:09 AM

The car has now been loaded onto the ship. Oh Yeah.....

Schnooper · 04-15-2013, 07:56 AM

Off the coast of Portugal now..... damn why does this take so long???

Tanz_S65 · 04-15-2013, 10:25 AM

Congrats

Schnooper · 04-22-2013, 08:23 PM

So the ship is somewhere off the coast of Africa. AIS hasnt had an update in two and a half days and its been out of range.

I hope that priates havent got to the ship and are doing skids in my M3........

I really liked the play by play from the dealer order through the produciton.
Gives me an Idea on the process for mine. Sure seems like there is a long time in the limbo of the 112 status on these cars. Then bang, you are in the build line.

Yeah it seems to take ages. Once you get a production number assigned they will be able to provide a production week. My mates has placed an order also, with a production week of 20/05/2013 which means that the car will go into production on the week starting 13th May.

Also my car is about to hit Port Elizabeth and South Africa. Slowly but surely getting here.

I got my production number and the exact same build week as your friend. But the car went into production on 4/24/13 with completion date of 5/3/13. Tell him to check with his C A or call the 800 number Maybe he got moved up too.

Schnooper · 05-14-2013, 06:42 PM

Finally hit Australia. Already left Fremantle, on its way to Melbourne.

Aus_M · 05-15-2013, 11:02 AM

Congrats mate!! Taking delivery of mine in Sydney tomorrow.

Can't wait to see some pics

Schnooper · 05-20-2013, 01:44 AM

Monday 20th May - In Melboune, got off loaded from the ship yesterday or early hours of this morning. So finally on home soil.

Now just the waiting for transport to the dealer. Getting close.

Schnooper · 05-22-2013, 06:06 PM

Thursday 23rd May - My car is on the truck from Melbourne to Adelaide. Not long now.

Schnooper · 05-27-2013, 03:18 AM

Monday 27th May - car is at the deal and the per-delivery work has started.

I actually had the chance to go and touch and feel. Kinda hard to believe its here and I have sat in it.

Schnooper · 05-31-2013, 07:10 AM

Well after all this time, tomorrow is delivery day. Booked in for 9am. Shame the weather forecast is for rain tomorrow. Will post pix when I can stop driving for longer than 5 minutes.
