Ok.. the Franconia is at the port as of 2:25pm EST.

http://www.port-of-charleston.com/vessel_schedule.asp

Now... how long to get the car off the boat? How long to install the M-Kit and rear-deck spoiler?

I read a thread where they would pre-paint the M-Kit for all colors EXCEPT mine (Ti Silver).

Any guesses on when my car will arrive at my dealer?

My salesman is telling me next Friday. Does that seem reasonable?

My 550 was on the same boat. I'm getting the M-aero kit installed, but not the spoiler. I opted for the m5 lip spolier, which will go on at the dealer. My dealer told me that it might be here Friday/Saturday! I'm in Atlanta, so it seemed possible to me. Good luck!

Does anyone know if there's a website like this for the New York port? To track incoming ships?

Thanks.

This seems to be the port but I wasn't able to locate a currently docked vessels site.

What color is your 550? I read a thread that said Ti Silver (my color) has to be matched exaclty and therefore they don't prepaint the M-Kit which I assume results in a bit more time to process.

Mine is Titanium Gray, I hope to get a more exact date for delivery this week. Good luck!
