My salesman called me today and said my car will finish production this week and should "be on the next boat out." Do we have any idea what the next boat will be? Can we begin tracking that yet?

You leave on the Feb 7 boat, you reach the East Coast by Feb end. After that, it all depends on port-installation of options (if any), transit from port to dealer (?), and dealer detailing time (1-2 days). Sorry dude, the dealers don't have much control over this process. The folks in Bavaria call the shots, and sometimes, we have to wait longer than expected. I know it sucks.

Cool does this mean you won't be going postal on your UPS driver? Seriously though, congrats...it's a relief when you see it's actually being built.

Thanks, the news of the production starting kind of makes up for all the shit with the shipping of damaged parts.

Well based on the schedule from post above which I had not seen it looks like your car is on the Topeka....scheduled to the west coast on Jan 16

How long does it usually take bmw to transport the vehicle from the factory to port? I looked at the schedule and was wondering if my vehicle made it on the boat headed for Galveston on the middle of Feb. Production showed it was completed on Jan 25th on the website. So it's possible it was completed 2-3 days earlier.

I think it's all about how BMW prioritizes your dealer's order and also dependent on the configuration of the car. I read an interesting theory from someone here that BMW wants the convertibles out on the road sooner, so they're being given priority in the production queue. Hang in there. Take advantage of your OTHER hobbies ! They will come to your rescue over the next 2-3 months

So called 800# this morning and found out car got on a ship Saturday. It's on the NYK Line....vessel name Equuleus Leader, scheduled into California Feb 27. Haven't really been able to figure out how to use their website tracking though. I did figure out you have to go to their RoRo site which is the car transport, to see the schedule. Anyway...just wanted to update a couple people on the thread who finished production in the last week or so.

I heard that the EPA isn't certifying the convertibles until either Feb 15th or March 17th? (don't remember the second date but someone on the forum said this) so there's a chance my car will just be sitting at the port until March either way. Good to know it's coming though
