Picking it up at nearby ( to me ) dealer.
I'll probably regret not doing PCD - but work and family made that difficult.

Have a great experience with your car.

It's alive...just finished production. Rep at 800 # just told me car now has status code of 155, Production Completed.

[overcoil]

Called the automated BMW hotline and said car was in route to port - or something similar.

Who's going west coast and who's going east coast? I think I'm going to end up on the Elektra leaving BH on 7/12 heading towards Cali. Anyone else going my way?

My M235i has been at the Bremerhaven port since 6/28. I don't think I caught the Carmen that left yesterday though (my VIN doesn't show up in their booked inventory and the human I talked today said my car is still at port). So yes, it looks like I'll be on the Elektra. My car will spend a couple of days at the VPC in Port Hueneme and then head up to Seattle sometime around mid-August.

There is a boat, the Meteor from the NYK line for the same route, that is scheduled to leave on 7/5. There is some chance that it'll take my car but at this point, I'm pretty sure the Elektra is the one that'll carry my baby.

EDIT for more info: My car is a '14 that was built on prod week 26. It completed production on 6/26. It's indeed likely that the Elektra will have both '14s and '15s

My car was just given to carrier per live person update.
I'm going to the east coast. Does a boat go to both coasts or does each boat only go to one coast?

San Diego here, production completed on 7/2

Hey, so I think a lot of us might be on the Metis Leader:

http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/...hips/373310000

It's sitting in Bremerhaven as of right now (and so are many of our cars, I would suspect).

Too bad NYK doesn't let you enter your vin #...

[disco4me]

For U.S. east coast, my money is on the Integrity (leaves 7/6), the Torrens (leaves 7/8) or the Aida (leaves 7/15). All WW lines.

Week 27 production here as well. I am not doing PCD, though. My production was supposedly complete on July 1st but I haven't been able to get any additional information since then. East coast as well. Mine will be coming into the Brunswick, GA port.

[Sportstick]

Status 150 today, per the customer service guy at BMW! Production has begun....they'll need to find a can of orange paint somewhere pretty soon!

[disco4me]

Those of us headed for the U.S. east coast with production weeks 26 and 27 are probably all together I would guess. From the shipping line website it appears that none of us have been loaded. The Integrity has been in port for nearly 3 days which seems unusual (from the very little I know). Doubting we will make it on that boat. The Integrity might be heading out very shortly as The Torrens is finally heading towards port after being anchored off coast for at least a day. Fingers crossed that will be the one.

[disco4me]

Torrens just docked. That means both Torrens and Integrity are in port. Both are scheduled to leave tomorrow. Fingers crossed for U.S. east coasters from production weeks 26 and 27.

Thank you Disco4me and Apg13 for the information. I think my car will be on this ship also since it has been done for a few days and says it is on the way to me. I live on the Eastern Coast in NJ. How do I find out if my car is on this ship? How long does it take for the ship to arrive in the USA? Then how long does it take to get to the dealership?

Sportstick, I can't wait to see pictures of your orange car when it arrives! I love orange. Which interior did you end up choosing as I know you were not sure.

[Lynn_228i]

I ordered the 2014 BMW 228i instead of waiting for the 2015 BMW 228i due to feeling BMW will take away the $1,000 incentive but not the $500 loyalty credit. Does anyone know if the 2015 models also come with both these credits?

[disco4me]

For U.S. east coasters - Torrens in port loading (WW), Grand Duke arrives 7/9 (K-Line), Aida arrives 7/14 (WW).

How do I know if my car is on one of these boats? What number do I call since my car has finished and is on my way the BMW Website says?

Chk the sticky threads in the Ordering Delivery Pricing thread.

The # is also on the BMW website,

1 (800) 831-1117

[disco4me]

Torrens headed out to sea. Grand Duke (for east coasters U.S. / KLine) headed into port.

When I put in WBA1J7C56E% into the WW site I still do not see my VIN......

Maybe we will be on the Grand Duke. It actually arrives earlier in Charleston than the last boat that just left today, the Torrens. The Grand Duke is on the Kline and I don't think you can enter the VIN on their website in order to track. We would have to get word from the 800# or our CA to see if our cars are on that boat. Otherwise, I think the next boat to east coast U.S. is about another 5 days. My gut says we will be on the Grand Duke which is pulling into port right as I am typing this. http://www.kline.com/
