The Owner's Circle will give you the full VIN -- you'll need a production number to access the VIN information...

Thanks for the tip Rudy, that worked. Unfortunately, no tracking information came up when I entered the full VIN on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen cargo tracking site. I'll call BMWNA tomorrow, perhaps they can assist.

Your dealer can give you pretty accurate information including the name of the vessel it's on, if it's on one yet...
Of course it's on a ship.....isn't it?????

Unlikely because of the holiday but on Tuesday, the status showed an estimated arrival of Friday but they also showed it leaving the VPC on the 4th and I'm not so sure they worked on the holiday so everything's likely to be moved a day forward or so. I'm thinking the earliest it'll hit the dealer is Monday but possibly Tuesday. Delivery by Wednesday I'm pretty sure...

Usually, the 800 number is a few days behind so if it says in transport, then it's likely on a ship.
Waiting for delivery reminds me of an old song: "The minutes seem like hours, the hours go so slowly...."
