Auriga Leader - Sailed 6/5 ETA 7/4 Port Hueneme

I received great news today that my car is on board the Auriga Leader! My car was at the port as of 6/1 and missed the Fedora which left the same day. I was certain I was going to be boarding the Mignon which leaves on 6/14 but was pleasantly surprised when my online tracking shows that it's already en route. I called the 800# and they confirmed it is on the Auriga Leader which left on 6/5 scheduled to arrive on 7/4.

Anyone else on this ship?? It seems to be a part of the NYK line and not W&W which explains why my vin still doesn't work on the W&W website. Looks like it left Southampton on 6/9!

I guess I am the only one tracking this ship! It is scheduled to arrive in Panama on 6/23! On a side note, I purchased some goodies to help me get by. Ordered car on 4/20 so it's been a looooong journey so far.



Painted reflectors!


CF Shift knob to go with my CF interior trim installed at the port!

How were you able to determine your VIN/car was loaded on this ship? My son is having his EB M235 delivered to San Diego BMW.

I was actually told when I called the 800 # to confirm the vessel name. You can also find out by contacting your CA. Once you know the vessel name, then you can track the ship. I wasn't able to input my VIN with this particular shipping line.

Contacted BMW and spoke with a very polite young lady that confirms the car is indeed on the Freemantle Highway. An email today from usmilitarysales at bmwna also confirmed the vessel.

However, that vessel is offloading on the East Coast. BMW has the receiving dealer listed as: San Diego BMW!

Will BMW ship the car overland from GA to CA?

Hmmmm... that is unusual I don't know why they would put you on a boat to the east coast if you're supposed to end up in San Diego. Here is the thread for the tracking of your particular boat if you haven't seen it:
http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showt...php?p=16153623

I would maybe contact the CA to see if he knows. I guess they would have to ship it by truck across the country? Maybe someone can chime in here if they have more information on this.

And theeeeeeeeeeeeeere she is!! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself now that I can't check the tracking of the ship anymore! My CA advised I should expect to see it within 5 days or so. I hope he's wrong and I get it this weekend! Although it appears I have been tracking this ship myself, hopefully this will help others in determining how long it takes from start to finish. I will make a final post upon delivery of the car.

Hey congrats on arriving on time! I'm in the same boat as you right now. Still waiting...

My 228i is waiting on the docks at San Diego for a US Mainland-Hawaii shipping company set to depart on the 9th. This is like watching grass grow... Or like we say in Hawaii, "Watching rice cook."

Thanks! I think the wait is worse now knowing that it's just waiting for a truck to being delivered. When are you actually expected to receive your car in Hawaii?

My CA was trying to be conservative about the actual delivery date. He told me about 20 days from the day my car is released from W&W... I estimate an arrival to Maui on the 16th. (based on the online shipping schedule) My CA said it will take a day or two to inspect and send the car out for detailing. I'm looking at either the 18th (Friday) or the 19th (Saturday).

My biggest fear is that someone will see it and want to test drive it...

Wow you still got a ways to go but hang in there it will all be worth it in the end! I am also fearful of the random test drive and installing the front plate when I told them not to. I am also worried that my car does not have the proper interior trim installed (CF) since I adjusted it right before production. Hopefully I won't have to worry anymore after I see it in a few days..

And still no news yet? How far from LA are you?

Still no news.. my dealership is pretty close to LA it's about an hr away from port hueneme. I was considering the US Mill Works but I'm still on the fence on having an off centered license plate. I might have to go with that option though just for a piece of mind here in LA!

Which kit did you purchase from US Mills?

I purchased the most basic kit. I think it was around $70 or so? The service manager was impressed with the build quality and liked how you can adjust the positioning of the bracket to the tow hook bolt. He was looking at some others online and didn't really like how set they were. I'm happy with it and plan on using it once my Hawaii plates come in.

For the first two weeks whilst waiting for the plates, I'm going to rock a Munich plate with the accurate region seals. lol, might as well have fun while it's legal.

I have decided to purchase the tow hook license plate with the quick disconnect just in case I ever get a fix it ticket or if I ever plan to drive to the city and need to park on the street! Still no car either.. I wonder if the delay is due to my interior carbon fiber trim being installed. Surely that shouldn't be that difficult of a job....

Hey congrats! It looks like the port install delayed your delivery a bit but oh it will be worth it! I can't imagine the excitement of being a day away from delivery... Looking forward to the pics of the installed CF parts!

Well, I picked up my car on Saturday as planned and I've been having so much fun with it I haven't been able to post! I always wondered why certain members don't post after they get their cars... and now I know why! Here are some pictures including a picture of my CF interior. I also have painted reflectors installed! Car is a blast!!
