Anyone's status change to either at the port or something later? Mine still says I am at the port awaiting a shipping vessel and that no vessel info is available.

In general, does anyone remember what the next status should be, and about how long before departure it comes up?

Your status will not change until you board the Asian King, which is set for Friday? What were you expecting?

I am still in transport to the port of exit, going on 3 days so I am hoping it is just the weekend lag and my status is wrong.

I thought perhaps it would say something like "your vehicle has been assigned to a vessel and will be loaded on 3/8". Never ordered a BMW before so I'm not sure what the next stage is.

Here is an update for you ASIAN KING lovers! I better board this muther!
We moved up 1 day on leaving Germany, but still landing in Cali on 4/4.
The King is headed to Bristol in the UK before heading to Bremerhaven to pick up our babies!

No worries, the status of my order never changed until days after the Tortugas left port. You can't really rely on that system, the system your CA has is the best to go with, it has about 12 hours delay instead of days

Just got word from my CA that the King DOES NOT have room for MacAttackBMW and matt_335Ci's Beamers. Maybe next boat!

Hi guys. My uk spec f30 - 320i sport in white - is due for delivery here at my dealer in the UK and given the southampton port of call date, I suspect my car will be on board too. I'm not sure because the BMW UK website does not offer the same personal tracking facility - you can find out by pestering the dealer but I am quietly resisting that notion.

My contribution to this thread has enlightened me on just how terribly sad my life has become. I haven't actually watched the video of the slow moving boat, and scoffed, but then it dawned me that I have read every entry and done everything else to follow my order. I need help. I need the company of people again and to restore my life to some form of normality where this obsession can be restored to some more socially acceptable norms! Mind you, if there was video that allowed me to watch the paint drying on my order as it passed through production, I'd have watched it...

Hope you guys will have as much fun with your f30 s as I know will have, specially my steering wheel will be fitted on the correct side!! :-)

Bastards!

There best be three F30s on that boat. Mine, MacAttackBMW's, and matt_335Ci's.

This has to be the funniest thread ever and I mean that in the warmest possible way. The Internet abbreviation LOL was designed for these pages. As this thread has unfolded and I scroll down through it, which I've done a few times now, I begin with a chuckle, then I shake internally, which leads to a full scale laugh and then the tears start...

I would love to meet all the people who have contributed to this thread, because I am certain I would meet soul mates with whom I would form an instant bond with for life! Here we are, logged on to the Internet, a wonder of modern technology, brimming full with the sum of human knowledge and shared culture. It even has all we could ever ask for - from the wonders of the solar system to the technical details of any given feat of human endeavour...it even has any kind porn you can think of, and lots that you haven't.

And what are we doing in this corner of the world wide web?

Watching a fucking video of a boat, that might not be the actual boat, that isn't actually carrying our car, moving at a rate which can be outstripped by tectonic plates!..set to music.

Has my life come to this? Then I laugh at myself. My family caught me browsing here and I think there must be less shame in being a crack addict, an alcoholic, or even caught with my pants down having a play!

Thanks everybody. I'm amused. And strangely reassured that it's not just me. I've gone and bought a new car. A car that has taken me 23 years of work and labour to get to a point that I can almost afford it. And this is what the anticipation has made me do. Watch a fucking video of the boat that might be carrying my car. Is that not funny?

Hey Junction17, I am glad you find this thread amusing. I created this thread to help us get through this [2 month] wait, without going mad. Fortunately for you, you live far closer then me to Germany so you do not have much longer. I on the other hand will be lucky to receive my F30 by the 2nd week in April. I will continue to update status on the ASIAN KING, unless of course I find out on Saturday that I as am still waiting at the dock. Best of luck, now come on KING pick us up!!

and this for you Junction17.... i want you (and everyone else on the KING) to click not the video below, crank up your volume all the way, go FULL screen, and salute the ASIAN KING!!

...and who knows? While the boat might get here soon, Southampton is a long way from the south of Scotland. Not far by US standards, but these are British roads we are talking about, and UK lorry drivers. It could be June before I'm driving my car!
