Who's on the Aniara?

Looks like my car was loaded onto the Aniara yesterday and departed today. Anyone else onboard? ETA to PORT HUENEME, CA Nov 12th. Assuming I will see it right before Thanksgiving! Nice, will have a few extra days off of work to have some fun.

Mine finished production 10/10, current status with BMW hotline is still waiting at the port. How were you able to track your order? I ordered mine at BMW Valencia, Ca. I hope mine is in this boat too.

Mine's on the Aniara, but the BMWUSA website hasn't been updated. One more stop at Southhampton before Aniara hits the open sea (just like the Titanic).

I'm on the Aniara too. The BMW website hasn't been updated, but Wallenius's tracking is showing it, and an arrival date of November 13 instead of November 12.

When did your cars finished production?
In tracking the car with WWL, we just use the VIN on the Cargo ID right?

For Wallenius I used the last five digits of the VIN under "Cargo ID." My car was produced in Week 39, last week of September, and sat at the port a couple of weeks.

Mine was week 39 as (9/25 prod date) and is en route to the Bay Area as well. But if I put in the last 5 of my vin, it shows a bunch of cars that end w/ the same 5 numbers, but not my exact one. So I guess the mystery continues for me

UPDATE: I think my car is on an NYK ship (METEOR). 10/9 --> 11/6, which coincides with when my status changed and my 11/7 VPC date.

Last 5 of VIN or 7 I could have sworn that I had to use my last 7

My production was completed on 10/13. 800 number still says it's waiting at port for a ship, and WWL's tracking doesn't pull up anything with my VIN. Guess I missed this boat.

I'm pretty sure mine is on the Aniara, headed for the Bay Area (Santa Clara). I'm a week 40 production and it sat for over 2 weeks waiting for a boat.

My dealer told me it will arrive in Oxnard mid-November which lines up with the expected arrival date of 11/13 of the Aniara. He says it will only take 3-5 days from Oxnard till I can pick it up which sounds optimistic but I hope he's right. I have the entire Thanksgiving week off and it would be a great way to spend it...

Fun way to spend the holiday week. Looking forward to the same thing. My car has to make to Colorado so guessing with an arrival date of Nov 13th that I won't see it until at least ten days after that if not a little longer.

I think mine was actually on the Hestia Leader (that arrived at Hueneme yesterday), as my VPC date was 11/6. Presumably it's there at VPC, but no updates on the BMW site yet :-/

It's hard to believe the wait is almost over. I've been thinking about, configuring, ordering, and obsessing about this car for a good part of the year. I am hoping it will make it up here to the Bay Area and be ready for delivery about a week after the Aniara reaches the port on the 13th.

Yeah, I've been waiting since late August so my patience is running very thin What dealer is your car coming to?

BMW of Fremont (my dad bought his there and I bought my last one there); just traded a few e-mails with my CA and he says his system still shows my car in transit. Hopefully he's just got the same delay in status update as the BMW NA site.

Update: BMW NA confirmed, the car is at the port waiting to go to VPC.

Yup. Ship into port next week. Mine then has to be transported to Colorado, but it is nice to know the wait has an end in sight. Been waiting since early August, so what's another couple weeks. Only worry now is with winter on its way I'll have to get new tires almost instantly.
