I hope that my car is on the same vessel. I have not been able to confirm that information though. I checked owners circle, talked to BMW NA and talked to my dealer. Nobody has any further information on it. Last status they show is that I picked it up in Munich. I hope this is all just a delay in paperwork and information flow. Not a delay in actually shipping my car.

Now, where can I track the vessel?
I guess I need to do a search. I remember some posts on it.

[/quote]Yes, if your production complete date was the same as mine, it most certainly will be on the same ship. Call your dealer and request the ships name. He should be able to give that to you with the arrival date. My dealer told me it was on the Grus (NYK vessel) with an arrival date of 2.25.05.
I know that the Grus is due in at Jacksonville, Florida this Friday, 2.11.05. From there it takes another 2 weeks to get to California. Then its another 10 days to your dealer. I have a priority one car, which is a car that is already sold and is processed as fast as possible.
But I will let you know if I have any more information.

[quote name='purth01' date='Feb 8 2005, 03:08 PM']I need to revise my last post, the dealer just called, after saying he'd have the car by yesterday (Friday Statement), it looks like the car won't be at the dealer until next Monday or Tuesday, with an outside shot at Friday.? That fits the 10 day schedule you all have expected.
It's frustrating to have gotten geared up to pick up the car in the next 24 hours, then find out your wait is another week or so.

[/quote]I guess I have been making the wrong assumption on the status numbers/titles. I did not have the numbers (i.e. 190) between 180 and 193 so had assumed 193 -195 referred to the car getting loaded on the ship and ship departing. Reading your chart I see 190 is the departure and 193-195 refer to the arrival in USA and subsequent processing to the dealer. I will just have to update my Project file to reflect the correct numbers. Thanks for keeping yours up to date and sharing
