Independence 2 Bimmers
From the lack of response to your question, it looks like there are only the two of us on that ship! Should make getting unloaded and thru the prep center process real fast, huh.
Yeah, sure!! |

Estimated time of arrival at the port in Baltimore is now 8/28. I'm in central Indiana (Indianapolis area) and I anticipate taking delivery sometime during the first week of September. Hopefully Isaac doesn't wreak any havoc along the east cost (or anywhere else, for that matter).

I'm also on the Independence 2. Took about the standard 3 days for the VIN to appear in their tracking system. I was hoping for the Salome, which being a newer ship appears to be much faster and just popped up on Marinetraffic on the US east coast. The Salome left just after the Independence 2 arrived, and the Independence 2 actually got a jump on coming to the US over the Salome as it only stopped in South Hampton. But it's only a day or so behind now. But hey, the Independence 2 is an American ship, right?

I think the Independence II is making some serious headway because when I talked to my CA recently, he said that I should anticipate taking delivery this week! It is really all contingent upon the carrier at this point. I hear that a lot of F30s are just sitting in Baltimore with no ride right now.

It didn't show for about 24 hours. Thought it got lost in the Bermuda Triangle for a bit there... |

Searching the shipper website (put the last 7 of the VIN into the cargo ID field) has entries for "customs release" and "shipper release" dated yesterday.
The BMWUSA website now shows my car in the "finishing touches" stage. |

Sorry,
The shipper is Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics. Go to their website: http://www.2wglobal.com Select "Track and Trace" from the "Customer Centre" dropdown menu Enter the last 7 digits of your VIN in the cargo ID field on the right. When you click "Track" you should get taken to a screen that shows the details I mentioned. Last edited by scsweet; 08-31-2012 at 04:29 PM.. Reason: Added image |

Hey, Fellow Giants Fan
My car went thru Baltimore VPC yesterday and arrived at my dealer today at about 2 pm. I'll pick it up after Labor Day and almost exactly 3 months after placing the order/deposit!
