Nice one!
But can't believe you were at the dealership to wave the car in - that is dedication

My dealer confirmed today that mine is now due at the dealers during Week 9 (wk comm 27th Feb) which is 3 weeks ahead of schedule
Only thing with that is I've now only got 2.5 weeks left to enjoy that lovely N55 straight six and DCT box in my 135i

My dateless plate is going on it from new anyway, so not really bothered by reg, although, I'll probably make sure that they don't reg it till March 1st anyway, so it ends up with the 17 plate on it when I come to sell it and take my plate off.

So it appears I'm a week early than quoted which means mid March pick up. If all goes well I'll be on the same boat departing 22 Feb. So excited now the car is finished!😊 |

fond memories of tracking production to delivery...
Reading this thread reminded me of when I ordered my wife's 2015 Z4 in late December 2014. I went through great effort to learn all of the production codes, how the car would travel from the factory to Bremmerhaven ("Bimmerhaven"), on what ship would it travel, tracking the ship on each of its stops along the way, traveling across the Atlantic Ocean (using another on-line tracking program), seeing the ship on webcams make stops in Baltimore and Brunswick before it finally went through the VPC and then delivered to my dealer here in Florida on a very rainy day in mid-February 2015. The wait killed me but the delivery was pure joy. My wife's Z4 is now two years old with about 12,000 miles on it. Still looks as good today as it did on the day of delivery.
My 2016 X5 on the other hand, was ordered in late October 2015 and it arrived at my dealer 14 days later. Incredible speed of delivery. |

Any update when yours arrives into Southampton and what the pick up date is? Bet you are constantly thinking of the new arrival and no doubt the sleepless nights will be setting in

Of course it may not get to dealer until say, Thurs 2nd for example, so no idea when pick up date is yet. No, no sleepless nights - as I said earlier, more thinking about the last week or so with my 135i than the incoming X5.

One that doesn't always work is go to Track & Trace and enter your VIN in the Cargo ID then click Track. That will tell you what ship you're on (if it finds your VIN) - My cars VIN never showed up on there, even though VINs that had only their last 2 numbers different from mine were showing up, mine wasn't. The steps I took was to go to Schedules and Pick departing port as Charleston SC, Date wil be the on or next day after when your car went 9000 and Arriving port as Southampton, and click Search routes. That gave me 2 ships close to my factory depart date, INTEGRITY which was departing the same day, and BOHEME which was 5 days later. Mine was on INTEGRITY leaving on 12th late afternoon, and the my departed code was dated 12th also, so it made it to the ship and onboard within 24 hours of the 9000 code being updated. So a good guess would be any ship departing on or close to that date you get. Then you just track the ship using https://www.marinetraffic.com/ Let me know how you get on.

Just to add quickly, I didn't know at the time which ship my car was on so tracked both Ships across the Atlantic for 9 days, until the code changed to "Port of Exit".
The date of "Port of Exit" coincided with when INTEGRITY arrived in Bremerhaven so that's when I knew it was the correct ship. So focused more on INTEGRITY as it left Bemerhaven and went to Antwerp and from Antwerp onto Southampton. When it arrived in Southampton, my code changed to Port of Entry. Seeing it on the trailer at the dealership was 100% pure luck, I couldn't track it in the UK.

My car was built on Feb 3rd and departed factory same day for Charleston. It's got to be due at Bremerhaven about now, if not already there, for delivery to dealer beginning week 9.

Looks like INDEPENDANCE II is the one then, be interesting to see when it docks in Bremerhaven if your code changes to port of exit.
I would also track FREEDOM just in case the system update was delayed and you got on that ship (leaving 13th) No harm in seeing when either reach Bremerhaven and check if port of exit is the status from BMW |

I reckon mine could be on RESOLVE, which left Charleston on 9th Feb (so car was sitting at port for 6 days) and is due at Bremerhaven on 25th Feb, so only two days before, hence both could arrive at dealers during week 9 on that basis...?? RESOLVE is currently sailing just north of the Azores making 15knts.
