My 530xi is listed as "en route" on the BMW OC website, and 2 days ago my sales manager told me the car was on a ship. I plugged in my VIN on the Wallhenius website, but can't find my car on their vessels.

My VIN: WBANF73566CC34283

Can anyone find my car??
Is there a different shipping company?
My car should be going from Bemerhaven to Charleston...

Frustrated!

Sorry for the redundant question. I saw das' info on shipping vessels after I made my post. I guess mine may be on "K-Line", unfortunately the one that doesn't allow you to track your car online

Oh well....

Ahhh...so deductively all fingers point to K-Line for you. Otherwise, your car has been waiting at port for a very long time....contrary to what is expected as you are awaiting transport.

Good Luck!

If your dealer can tell you the name of the ship it's on (which they should be able to do), then you should be able to track it via some of those other mechanisms.

You can also look to see which K-Line ships have left in the last couple days, and see when they're arriving in Charleston...

I saw on the news where a ship bound for US from Germany sank off the coast of Germany


Not really. Sorry, but I could not resist.
