Check your VIN again today, Mihusky.? Mine came up on the WW website on the Freedom.? By the way, I'm not sure the cars make it to the VPC on Dec 2.? They make it to port in Charleston that day.? I'm not sure how long the truck ride to VPC takes--isn't it on the other side of the state?? What was your build date?? Mine Nov 11.

it appears as if there are 1490 vehicles on the Freedom....does that sound possible?
When you input the bill of lading number it lists all the VIN's

Not sure how many cars they hold. FYI - Looks like Freedom popped up on the ship tracker just SW of UK. The other WW ships that left this month from Germany are also there, e.g., Liberty, Emden, Patriot

Bokke, haven't heard from my dealer since ship sailed but I've done my own calculating. I think Freedom will arrive evening on Thursday. I hope to have the car by the end of the following week. Michigan is a little closer to S. Carolina than Texas 
If not you can bet I'll be cruising the dealership lot that weekend. Now just have to pull the trigger on buying a set of winter wheels/tires. My 16 inch AT Italias for my 330i won't fit over the brakes!

I'm thinking of Dunlop M3s on 18 inch rims. Even in Michigan the roads are cleared most of the winter so I'm not too worried about max snow performance. I'm undecided on the wheels. Those ASA JH3s are definitely a good deal which factors in because my lease is probably only going to be 2 years.

The ASAs look nice and indeed are a good deal.
I'm also thinking Dunlop M3s with 18"" BBS RKs since I'm holding onto this car for awhile. Agree, 18"" should be fine with our generally flat and clear roads.cheers
