Ok, I know this forum is flooded with lots of impatient future e60 owners wanting to know exactly when they'll be handed the keys to their new toy.. but bear with me.
My car was completed and arrived at the port of exit on 2/15.
The 800-831-1117 number today says it's still "awaiting a vessel".
I went to http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSchedules/portList.do and looked for schedules from Bremerhaven to Charleston, SC after 2/15 (when my car arrived at the port). It says there are 2 ships. One left on 2/19 (The Patriot) and the other (The Courage) on 2/23 (yesterday).
I then went to http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/s...?trackType=Auto and typed in my VIN but it said it couldn't be found.
What am I doing wrong? Is it possible my car got left behind?
Also - is it correct to assume that since I live in South Florida that my car will be on a boat from Bemerhaven to Charleston, SC?

Yes, your new toy will land in Charleston. 
You've hit all the right buttons to find out where it is but it takes a few days to get updated. I would bet that you are on the Courage and it should show as such online in the next day or two.
Sorry to say this, but the wait gets worse each day you get closer to delivery. Good luck.

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
It's like waiting for the package to show up in the UPS computer system after it's been picked up. Have faith, they've done this before...lol

Anyway, both cars show up in Owner's Circle so I got the VIN of the first car which was at the port on 2/8. I type that VIN in and the web site still says there is no data on it.
Anything special you do when typing the VIN in?

You can always contact your dealer. They will have the most up to date info for you and can tell you exactly what vessel your car is on.

And don't forget that sometimes cars will sit at the port waiting for a ship for 7 to 10 days so it's still possible that you're not yet 'floating'...
Either way, you're doing everything right and sooner or later you'll see our VIN show up on one of the WW lines ships. Hang in there!
