3/4/15
Received final BMW Build Sheet after changing my build to include DHP. I didn’t record my actual build dates from My BMW but it was soon afterward.

4/14/15
My CA tells me my car is in the paint shop

4/15/15
Signed ED purchase order

5/8/15
Picked up my 435i at BMW Welt in Munich, then took a factory tour. Amazing!

5/8 – 5/20
Drove through Bavaria, across the Swiss Alps, into Italian wine country, down to the Cote d’Azur and up to Paris via Provence. Best trip of my life!

5/20/15
Dropped car off at TT Car Transit by Charles DeGaulle Airport, Paris

5/27/15 17:12 (5:12 pm)
Reported as “Booked” with Wallenius & Wilhelmsen Logistics (the shipper) in Bremerhaven

5/31/15 06:51
Reported “Received at terminal” at W&W terminal in Bremerhaven

6/02/15 18:54 (and 42 seconds, to be precise)
Reported “Loaded on vessel” – vehicle carrier Independence II for Voyage # CA523-INC

6/03/15
Independence II departs Bremerhaven

6/17/15
Independence II arrives at the Port of NY & NJ Auto Marine Terminal after stops in Zeebrugge, Belgium; Southampton, UK; and Halifax, NS Canada

6/18/15
- 00:00 (Midnight): W&W reports “Customs Release” (not sure if that means a form was filed, or that it was actually cleared)
- Approx 06:00: Independence II is tugged a few miles from the Auto Marine Terminal in Newark Bay to another pier by the BMW Vehicle Prep Center
- 08:03: Wallenius & Wilhelmsen reports “Liner Release” – the car is off the Independence II and out of W&W’s hands

6/19/15
The car has cleared customs and is in the New Jersey VPC, according to their customer line (800-932-0831). They also tell me it has yet to be inspected, so they can’t say how long until transport to dealer.

I will update when I know more...

Hey bro, My M4 is on the same boat! Car is still at VPC

I have been trying to get more information as to why it is taking almost 2 weeks tomorrow to release the car but CA is as confused as I am... anyone know of ways to get more info on the car's where abouts

Have you tried calling the VPC - 800-932-0831 - or the BMW Genius Hotline -1.844.4GENIUS. The VPC was helpful and I've heard the Geniuses are really good. Just got my car yesterday and it was worth the wait!

UPDATE:
6/23/15
VPC customer line reports they are done, and the car should be loaded onto a transporter to my dealer within 24 hours.

6/25/15
My CA emailed to say the car just arrived at the dealer that afternoon. I could have picked it up Saturday 6/27 but I was travelling so I push delivery to Monday 6/29.

6/29/15
Delivery: CA Darren Thomsen of Rallye BMW hands me the key. (I have the other key because it’s an ED car.)

****
So to answer some frequently posted Timeline questions, here’s how long things took for my European Delivery car (I’m going to use a delivery date of 6/27, since the 2 extra days were my issue.)

Drop off in Paris to delivery at dealer in New York - 38 days or 5.5 weeks

Bremerhaven (Received at W&W terminal) to delivery– 27 days

Dock in New Jersey (W&W Liner release) to delivery – 9 days

First post and new member to this forum ...

I am awaiting my new 2015 328i Msport ... it has a production date of June 9 2015 (based on VIN checker), so ...

My dealer is saying that, "the current status is still marked as 95 shipped, which means that your vehicle has already left the BMW factory and on its way to Canada." Ive called BMW Canada and they do not know what 95 shipped is however looking on other threads, maybe they meant to tell me that its 195 shipped and missed the 1?

I have checked the WWL site and no luck at all for my vin. Really thinking it is still waiting at port.

Do all VIN's successfully get added to the WWL tracking line? I ran a few other vins from other BMW sales sites with VINs being shown and many did not come up on WWL site. So maybe Im missing something. NT19xxx is the last 7 of the vin and no dice on anything.

dpod25 · 07-17-2015, 09:14 PM

My car arrived in the U.S. last Friday. It was delivered to my dealer on Wednesday. Can't wait to pick it up!

Here's my overall timeline for those interested:

Production Order: 5/14/2015
Production Start: 5/19/2015
Production Completion: 6/8/2015
Transferred to Port of Exit: 6/8/2015
At Port of Exit Awaiting Vessel: 6/12/2015
Loaded on ship (Undine): 6/18/2015
Transit through Panama Canal: 7/3/2015
Arrival at Port Hueneme, CA: 7/10/2015
Unloaded from ship: 7/11/2015
Arrival at Dealer: 7/15/2015

I hate to say, but I believe your car was made in South Africa since you have that "N" in your VIN. Assuming that is the case, the car will be first shipped to Bremerhaven and then put on another ship to N. America.

I'm well aware of the N being a South African build with many of the 3 series.

Just getting anxious for the delivery and the timeline should be soon ... So I hope.

I have a 2016 4 series on order. The WW website says my vehicle was booked on the Tosca as well, but the loading date was July 31st! This doesn't make sense if the Tosca already left port...

Is this just a problem with updating the tracking information. My vehicle production was complete on July 2nd (by telephone to BMW). It was awaiting release to carrier for about 3 weeks.

Do you think my vehicle is really on the Tosca? Or is it on another ship that has not left port yet?

After spending a good part of this week nerding out on the tracking data for my '16 f31 i'm fairly certain the 'date' field in the WW tracking log is the 'status date' and not the 'event date' where the 'status' seems to lag the 'event' by about 2 days. The same goes for the bmwusa 1.800 number automated vehicle status -- about a 2 day lag.

If I were you I'd feel pretty confident the car is on the Tosca and don't read too much into the dates. Now just follow the ship with sailwx into the US port and add about a week for VPC processing.

Which btw, per the M3/4 forums it seems the EPA holds were released a day or so ago for the '16s so seemingly no worry about additional delays at the US port.

I'm a little confused/frustrated as well. My car has arrived at the port on Saturday the 25th, but apparently didn't make it onto the Integrity, which left on Thursday the 30th. So now it's another week?

This.

@keshava: The tracking info of my vehicle was also only updated to "Loaded on vessel" on WWL website 2 days after the vessel had actually already departed Bremerhaven. So I believe we are in the same situation and both of our orders are currently on TOSCA heading to us!

keshava · 08-02-2015, 08:15 AM

Thanks everyone! As you can tell, I'm looking forward to the new car. With a large family (4 kids), I've been driving around a Honda Odyssey and Buick Enclave (both of which are good cars) for a few years, but my wife and I finally decided to get a car for ourselves and just use the minivan for full-family outings.

do you know if it is being built in germany or south africa? if not, do you have vin number?

justinnum1 · 09-08-2015, 04:25 PM

4-5 weeks to south florida from end of production.

goj · 09-08-2015, 05:18 PM

It's been a week since my 340i finished production. My route is Bremerhaven to Hueneme near Oxnard CA.
I'll be taking delivery from East Bay BMW (excellent dealer).

I did my best to look up W&W boat schedules there was one 9/5 (which I for sure missed) and 9/19 out to the west coast.
If this is correct my car will wait over 2 weeks to get on a boat.

Did I just get unlucky? Or is there another company that might be carrying BMWs to California?

The WW website says my vehicle was booked on the Tosca as well, but the loading date was July 31st! This doesn't make sense if the Tosca already left port... Is this just a problem with updating the tracking information. My vehicle production was complete on July 2nd (by telephone to BMW). It was awaiting release to carrier for about 3 weeks. Do you think my vehicle is really on the Tosca? Or is it on another ship that has not left port yet?

keshava New Member 2 Rep 7 Posts Drives: TiAg 330xi Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Vermont iTrader: (0)	Thanks everyone! As you can tell, I'm looking forward to the new car. With a large family (4 kids), I've been driving around a Honda Odyssey and Buick Enclave (both of which are good cars) for a few years, but my wife and I finally decided to get a car for ourselves and just use the minivan for full-family outings. http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/ima...ilies/w00t.gif

goj Brigadier General 2253 Rep 3,622 Posts Drives: 2016 EBII 340i 6-MT Join Date: Aug 2015 Location: Bay Area, CA iTrader: (0)	It's been a week since my 340i finished production. My route is Bremerhaven to Hueneme near Oxnard CA. I'll be taking delivery from East Bay BMW (excellent dealer). I did my best to look up W&W boat schedules there was one 9/5 (which I for sure missed) and 9/19 out to the west coast. If this is correct my car will wait over 2 weeks to get on a boat. Did I just get unlucky? Or is there another company that might be carrying BMWs to California? __________________ BMW CCA Member #516012 2016 340i, Estoril Blue, Manual Transmission, MPE, MPBBK, HRE FF04 Instagram: @brandons340i
