Hey guys, I read through the FAQ many many times, and used the search function...helped enormously through the past few days while my car was in production. However I just called BMW NA's # as listed in FAQ and found out my car is now "awaiting carrier". How can I find out what ship it will be on so I can track her? I checked www.wlna.com website using my VIN but it says no records can be found. Im sure its probably because it just finished production, but is there any definitite way I can know the ship?

My baby's VIN is: WBANF73506CG65248

Guys this is the only thing keeping me patiently sane here... ordering stuff for her when shes here and tracking her, lol... so please help!

By the way, OC is pathetically behind.. The phone service is so much better its even saved on my cellular phone list!

Do you think that this company will show where my e60 is or will it be shipped from another company?

Sorry, not trying to hijack your post but I've tried tracking with the link and it doesn't show. I know that it's on the water since even the Owner's Circle shows enroute. I called Wallenius Wilhelmsen and they said they needed a "Bill of Lading" number? Am I going about this wrong? :'(

NES,

Ask your Sales guy. He gets his list updated daily. They will have thee most updated info. He should be able to tell you the ship, bill of lading, and cargo number. Dont let him tell you he cant. If he does, he is being lazy.

I didnt think there was anyone more anxious for their 530xi until I noticed how many times you posted about the topic today. If your dealership says the boat is hitting NY on 6/1 then my guess is that your car is on the same vessel as mine. See the information below.

Bill Number : DE311229
Vessel: MORNING NOBLE
Port of origin : BREMERHAVEN
Voyage : EQ520-MNO
Port of Destination : CHARLESTON,SC

Beleive me, I am really anxious... an x5 is an excellent sav but i need me 5 series.. and its been a few months since I sold my e39. Anyhow, I want to thank you for your info, but I beleive I actually finally found what I needed. Production for my 530xi completed on 5/20 so I dont think its on with your baby. I think mine is on the Jingu Maru. Hopefully I am wrong and it comes sooner, but I cant take looking at my order sheet, style 128 wheels and production numer/vin anymore. I NEED HER!!! lol. Thanks topaz. Good luck with yours by the way... let me know how she rides!
