True or complete bs from ca

So my car finished production on 7/26 and went into transit few days later. On 8/13 i emailed my ca and asked him if he had more shippimg information. He told me he wont have any information untill my vehicle hits long beach? In cali??
Im from hawaii so does that mean it could of been shipped out and i wont even know till its in cali? Wtf is going on?
He also told me they should recieve the vehicle by late september.

Total crap. Call the dealership and ask for the sales manager. He or she should be able to tell you the name of the boat it's on. From there you can track it here...

I did it with my E92 and once my F30 gets on a boat I plan to do the same.

Good Luck!

Picture of tracking

This is what you should see after you find the vessel that is transporting your car.

Zing, I'm waiting on the same thing. My cars been at the port for about a week waiting for shipment to Hawaii. I ordered from a military car sales and not through BMW of Honolulu. Don't think mine has been shipped yet, but if you don't mind posting what vessel yours is on, I would like to get a good idea of how long it takes to ship. They told me about 6 weeks.

I would love to let you know what vessel its on but thats the problem here. My ca wont release that information. Idk why, but im gonna call and ask for a manager soon if this keeps on going.
But my ca did tell me it should reach hawaii by the ending of september. Hopefully earlier -.-

I decoded my vin and its from regensburg germany.
I also used my vin to track it through wallenius wilheim or whatever the shipping site was and no record. I wonder what other shipping companies do bmw use to ship with.

That sucks that your dealership isn't more helpful. (I'd let them have it when you get the survey after you receive your car)

I found this for you... It's a step by step on how to track your new car. Very comprehensive 👍😆

I think there was also a feed about a month ago (on here) that discuss the different lines BMW uses to ship. I'll see if I can find it for ya!

Six weeks is for the most part accurate. Dependent on customs and weather it could be longer :-(. Do you have the vin??
