Since you are in So Cal... I can venture to guess 2 months + or - 3 days from start of production to actually getting the car in your hands...

Sounds like my details also. We're sharing a ship. Member "CoolTones" also has his E60 on that ship.
No Marine Observation available yet for Orion Diamond (not like it's that useful):

My guesstimate for pick-up in the Bay Area is 10/24. Again, just my own guess.
Looking forward to sharing pics.

Let me give you my example.
My car enter production on 8/29/05.
Assembly completed on 9/7/05, passed outbound QI and release to carrier on 9/9/05.
Arrived at Bremerhaven on 9/16/05.? Left port on Orion Diamond on 9/21/05.?
Current ETA into Port Hueneme is 10/15/05.
I am hoping that my car will be released quickly and deliver to dealer around 10/22.?
I will probably pick up the car on 10/29/05.
So realistically speaking, you are looking at thanskgiving time frame.

I am flying up north to oregon to pick up my car. It looks like your car and my car are on the same ship.
All i know is that Orion Diamond departed South Hampton on 9/24/05. ETA San Diego 10/15. And i made a mistake, Arriving port huneme on 10/17/05.

My Ride: 2006 550i SMG
I've got a 550 SMG on order too. My dealer said it will go into production week of October 2 and to expect delivery 1st week of November. Mine is:
Mystic Blue
Grey Leather
Anthracite interior surface
SMG
Premium Sound
Sport Package
Comfort Access
Comfort Seats
Anthracite headliner (Opt. code# 775 NoCharge)
Sirus
Thinking about the M-Aero pack but I still have time to order it since I think that is a dealer add on and not a factory install...anyone know for sure?
Also curious about the M5 wheels...how much are they? Although, I think I'm going to go straight to 20's...Anyone know of factory 20s that fit e60?

My Ride: On order for November Delivery - 550 !!!! - Currently own 1999 E39 540, sport pkg, premium sound pkg, black on black. Previous owner of 2000 M Coupe, 1996 328is, 1984 633csi, 1982 528e, and wifed owned 1999 528 touring and 2002 525 touring. Looking at buying 545 or 550 in fall of 2005.
My 550 shows awaiting transport and now shows a vin. How do I figure out what boat it's on or will be on?

[/quote]Thanks. Just did it and it shows "no tracking info is available yet". It just came off the assemblyline last week according to BMWNA, so it is probably waiting for the boat.
