My car is set to finish on 9/28, and that probably means I'll miss the 10/8 boat. Do you by chance know the schedule of the next ship headed to CA?

Car completed on the 20th, my status was going back and forth between "released to carrier and transport to port of exit." Just emailed my CA to clarify, will let you know what I hear.

... so most probably you could beat that October 13 scheduled delivery by almost a week.

rantarM3 · 09-22-2011, 08:05 PM

I have a E90 366XXXX that I ordered last month but it went into production this week. I thought it would be built in October because of the production number.

But it's great that I'll get it sooner than expected.

Except the irony might be that the car arrives
And I haven't sold my old one
Not sure if they are allowed to display it in the dealership or not
Fingers crossed I find a buyer

Yeah, that's always one risk. I'm going to try to sell my car between the time it leaves the port and when it arrives. If it's unsold, I'll trade it in for a pre-negotiated price.

The downside is that if I sell it and for some reason I can't take delivery of the new car I become completely car-less.

If that happens
I have a very lightly used 2008 Melbourne red 6MT M3 for you

the same here, will take my car to carmax once the M3 leaves the port, if they don't want to I will trade in for 48K with tax

, which is 2k less than i expected.

Altabay-

The next boat after the Asian Vision is the Aida departing Bremerhaven on 10/19 and arriving a long 39 days later on 11/27.

The Undine leaves a few days later on 10/22 but gets there faster on 11/16.

BTW to check shipping schedules go to http://sagaweb.2wglobal.com/AppSchedules/portList.do

Pick schedules by ports
Germany -> USA
Bremerhaven -> Port Hueneme

I see you up in NorCal. What dealer did you get your car from?

I sold mine 6 months ago... I'm riding a bicycle to work since then (6 miles round trip).

The best thing that I have done since my days in the Army... feel better, sleep better, lost some fat, built some leg muscle, cursed and yelled at some drivers in the street so my lungs are in better shape... it has been great.

Thanks! My car finished production on Sep 21st but I don't think it will be picked up on 9/24. Hopefully, it will get on board on 10/8. Do all ships go to east coast and west coast? I was under the impression they don't.

I think there's a good chance my car will be sharing a ship ride to the U.S. (east coast) with at least one of you. Still trying to find out when my car starts its journey as well as the ship's name.

Any update on the status of your car?

MR///M3 · 09-23-2011, 01:37 PM

My ship is so close! It was supposed to unload my car yesterday according to the Port of Charleston's vessel report, but it never got there. Marine Traffic strangely says though that it already went to Brunswick, Georgia and is heading back up. Does marine traffic make mistakes like that?

eisenb11 · 09-23-2011, 02:26 PM

My car just finished production and is going through quality checks today. Hopefully, it'll be at the exit port soon.
