Hi All,

I know there've been many posts about how long it takes from production to when a vehicle gets on a boat etc etc

As most of us know it's the most frustrating thing waiting for your brand new vehicle to leave Germany and arrive at your dealership in your country.

What I want to know is which boat realistically speaking do you think my vehicle will be transported on?

BMW doesn't have an answer for me as they only get the name of the ship once the vehicle is loaded onto it...

So I've narrowed it down to 3 ships based on my current BMW timeline.
Faust - Left 4th September (Highly Unlikely As My Car Finished Production On 2nd September)
Elektra - Leaving 16th September (Hoping - But doesn't tie up with BMW's timeline)
Tosca - Leaving 1st October (Really? A month at port? - Close to BMW's timeline...)

According to BMW's timeline:
Production Complete - 2nd September 2015
VDC - 28 October 2015
Price Month (Dealer Arrival) - 11 November 2015

I think the VDC & Dealer arrival are a bit far out what are your thoughts?

Sorry for the longish post but kinda pulling teeth here not knowing which ship it's on... Oh btw my BMW dealer usually ships from Breamerhaven to Durban port.

Thanks In Advance
