Vessel California Highway is Underway
I'm ecstatic to report that the K-Line vessel "California Highway" departed Bremerhaven Germany on March 03, 2015. I'm excitedly tracking this ship for a good reason. If your car is on this ship and your tracking your new BMW as well please join in.
Prior to tracking the vessel I successfully checked the status of my car's production via BMW's toll free number: 800-831-1117, then select option #2 for vehicle production status. I also signed up for a MyBMW account on BMW's website. I recommend creating a MyBMW account if you haven't already done so. I'm keeping my eye on this ships every move. My new Glacier Silver M235i is on this ship To Track The Vessel - CLICK HERE It's scheduled to arrive at the Port Of Baltimore on March 14, 2015. I've signed up for a MyBMW account This has been a long process that has proven to be a lot of fun. A special thanks to my fellow 2Addicts forum members for making this so much fun. You guys rock

Congrats! It's a relief to have it out to sea, isn't it? What's the estimated transit time to Houston?
(Funny name for a vessel that doesn't have California on its schedule!) |

You're off to good start. It's interesting to see how different the California Highway's track is. The Oregon Highway took a diversion to Belgium then a scenic southern route by Spain and the Azores. You guys are going straight as an arrow to Baltimore.

Don't get me wrong, I'll take the ferrying speed of 19 MPH as oppose to sitting on the dock waiting for a ship To everyone who's waiting for their ship to come in

The Dallas guys had their cars come in at Brunswick. Is your port listed at Baltimore? I'm just curious if BMW shifts ports for inland deliveries based on volumes.

Congrats!! I'm on the same vessel with my 228i Msport. I was told mine will be unloaded in Brunswick before heading down to Fort Lauderdale. The anticipation is a killer but I'm super excited!!! Thank you to everyone here for their endless knowledge. I've learned so much here, with this being my first bimmer and all.

Yea, I know. It was a tough decision to make. At first I was between a stripper 235 and this, but decided I'd rather have some luxuries. With the stripper, the track package would have been my only option.....and If I would have known how different the HK stereo is in the 2 compared to the 3, I would have gone for the track package. I figured this would be a nice starting point. Most likely sell in 3 years, and upgrade to an true M. Plus my roommate has about $25K into his 1M, so I'm nowhere near touching that power! Live and learn, as they say. Lol
