The waiting hurts

I know this may be a bit compulsive, but would that be midnight USA time or midnight germany time? Or both?

Would be nice if it was both....

It appears US. Probably when the system here updates the status from DE.

And I agree, the waiting does hurt!

Woohoo!!!

I called around 3AM PST last night and my car was in the paint shop. Around 1PM it was waiting to be released to the carrier. Maybe it is updated more than once a day - or certain parts are updated more than others probably.

Anyone on the west coast find out what ship they're on? I just asked my dealer for the VIN to start checking.

Mine is in the body shop. Completed tomorrow.

Being transported to port of exit

I checked and mine is also. I think that means I am likely ending up on one of these two ships:

Departure Date, Ship Name, Voyage, Transit Time (to NY), Arrival Time (NY)
11/24/2010, MIGNON, CA047-MIG, 13 days, 12/7/2010
12/1/2010, FIDELIO, CQ048-FDE, 14 days, 12/15/2010

Here's hoping for the MIGNON!

After vehicle production is complete, is the next stage port of exit?

[lve2xlr8]

I'm still on

"Your vehicle is scheduled for production with no confirmed production date"

and I ordered Thursday. My eyes are bleeding from reading about m3s and i'm so far away

[formgen99]

Hopefully this one
11/24/2010, MIGNON, CA047-MIG, 13 days, 12/7/2010

I was complete and waiting for carrier, and now I'm back to being assembled with an estimated completion date of nov 19!!!! Now as I think about I think I had a similar issue last time I ordered where it went backwards but it was in error and in actuality it was going forward. Either this or they forgot something and needed to put it on

Ahhh me too. I went from waiting for carrier -> paint shop w/ Nov 19th. Good to here my car wasn't the only one!

[formgen99]

My keeps switching between "released to carrier" and "being transported to port of exit"

[cloud8r]

Yeah, if I remember correctly, when I ordered my 06 zcp it went from Arrival at VPC to Waiting at the port of exit. The next day, I got a call from my dealer who said that the car's there and ready for me to pick. So the system is not very accurate.

[drjoe66]

I had th same with my last two cars. The system in close to worthless. Mine was supposed to be completed today.

*grumble* *grumble* -- the 800# is closed for the holiday (cannot even get to the automated line for vehicle tracking).

Which is odd since Germany doesn't celebrate Thanksgivings.

For anyone who might be on the NYK line... I watched a NYK ship (I believe it was the Ludwigshafen Express) leave on the PAX Route: http://www2.nykline.com/liner/servic..._atlantic.html

The ship was scheduled to leave tomorrow, but I can't see any other ships for NYK scheduled at this port so it seems likely they left a day early (http://www2.nykline.com/vesselsearch...oDateYear=2010)

I setup a program this morning to capture images from the webcam at the Bremerhaven port -- you can step through and watch the NYK ship leaving: http://justin.ruin.org/webcam/

Watch the times from 9:20 this morning to 9:35 this morning. The program captures an image every 5 minutes.

Was thinking the same thing then realized that the 800 number is for BMW North America.

Yeah, but, I'd figure it's just updated feeds to some server and accessible through an automated system.
