My car finally went to "Finishing Touches" on the website, but the automated system still says "in port awaiting a shipping vessel". I guess "shipping vessels" includes the train to the Performance Center.

So you moved it up some? I remember you had beginning of April. I'm guessing they move the cars up about a week or so before PCD given storage space, so I'll keep getting the "your ship is in port awaiting a shipping vessel message for a while". Does that sound right?
My 3 week day is tomorrow, so I booked a one way rental car. I still haven't finalized the return route, but it will through Asheville with minimal interstate. I'm planning outdoors sightseeing if the weather's good, the Biltmore Estate if we need to be indoors.

Only a couple of days earlier than originally anticipated. We're doing the same and renting a car one-way. Considered flying but the budget airline flies out at only one airport in our region. Too much hassle. Enterprise delivers!
Overnight stay at the Inn at Biltmore and follow-on scenic mountain drive west, then south towards GA.

Oh, and if anyone is obsessive as me <crickets chirping> , the Oregon Highway completed the circuit and pulled into Zeebrugge, Belgium this morning. The cam is on a 5 minute refresh, so all I got was nose then wake.

I'd think now that she's finished with your car, she'd be just another target for you.

You know what, they're gonna get a restraining order on you and put you on the no-sailing list if there is one.

So, if they dump your car off the boat, you'll have a guess why.

Don't you worry about that. I know exactly how your car is optioned which is quite nicely I must say and is the same color as mine. If anything happens to mine, I will get on the next flight to Virginia Beach, find you and take delivery.

Getting closer! So a week and a half or so before delivery, they ship the cars up. Out of curiosity, does the message on the automated production status line change?

All my hotel stuff is confirmed with BMW then for a night in Asheville. We'll drive quite a bit on the Blue Ridge Parkway which should be great for break in. I'm planning to minimize Interstate time for fun - time and wife permitting.
The car is still in Charleston though for sure out of VPC. They even had it scheduled for Waggoner's Trucking to the Performance Center a few days ago, but said it hasn't left for some reason. I'm finalizing stuff with the dealer as well this week. I'm getting very antsy, if you can't tell!

Congrats! Let the tracking resume. It looks like she's going straight for Brunswick this time.

Finalized all travel arrangements at this end too! Planning same route through Blue Ridge mountains then swinging south through Chattahoochee National Forrest.
