My Ride: on order:06 530xi orient blue, gray leather, premium package, cold weather package, HUD, steptronic, shades, PDC, active cruise, heated rear seats, split rear seats, illuminated sills, wood/leather selector
Dealer called with an update. The car was finished on 6-11, but is still waiting to cross. I actually hop it goes on the Saturday boat as it gets to NY 6 days before the one leaving today.
I have never anticipated a new car like this in my life.

In the same boat (pun intended) as you. 530 xi Finished on 6/12 and am at the port in line waiting for a ship. Curious, BMW call center folk tells me should only be a three or four day wait in line and guess-timates July 20-ish delivery at my dealer. Dealer told me today that it's to soon to tell. All depends on loading and departure/arrival in South Carolina. Will check next week with ship lines with my VIN. Other than that, just trying to forget about the car and stay focused and busy at work for the next 30 days.
BTW, web based OC says I'm "scheduled for production". As confirmed in postings here, that info is not updated much!

My Ride: 2011 550i; Alpine White/Black Dakota/MSport/SAT/IAS/Driver Assistance/ConveniencePkg/Prem Pkg 2/4 Zone AC/Side-Top Cameras/HUD & Black panel/BMW Apps-iPhone 4 Media/M Decklid spolier /Ventureshiled clear bra/ V1 -Ordered 4/9/11, Production 4/19, Shipped on Martorell 4/23,Arrived Port Hueneme 5/19,Delivered 5/21/11
Keep the faith . Mine was completed on 6/6 and just shipped out of Bremerhaven on 6/15. This timing seems consistent based on other threads here. NYK lines Sagittarius Leader has my 545i. Anybody elses car aboard? I was surprised to find NYK has this load to Port Hueneme as it appeared most West Coast deliveries are shipped on Walenius Lines. NYK has an unfriendly web site so you cant get any useful info unless you are have logon access. Anticipated arrival in port is 7/9 so if this keeps I figure I'll finally get delivery by 7/14!!
