Hi everyone,

I've been tracking my car as it makes its way across the ocean. It's a 2006 530xi Silver Grey Metallic that was loaded onto the Jingu Maru on 2/2/06. Anyone else on this boat? Can't wait...

PS- most know this, but the tracking can be done here- you just need the VIN:

I got the date of arrival on the website but if I actually wanted to pinpoint it on the map how can I do that?

Geez thats an ugly and slow looking ship.

It took off on February 2nd and its coming in on the 17th according to the tracker. It used to be the 16th but maybe the rough seas slowed it down.

Was that the boat that was pirated to South America. Seems there were several Pirates spotted driving new Beemers in Venezula in the last couple of days. I have a couple of months left before my boat tracking begins.
