DrivenByE30 · 05-31-2012, 05:43 PM

yesterday i tracked theboat, but i forgot to post the pictures...

DrivenByE30 · 05-31-2012, 05:45 PM

Looks like it's making good steady progress...
... no doubt it will arrive to Panama on the schedule date of 6/3/12!

DrivenByE30 · 06-01-2012, 12:08 PM

To the left? and what about Jamaica? on the right? I think so, right?...
it's too far from Florida to be Cuba :P My geography is rusty on those part of the world

By this time, the ship is probably way past those islands already...

As we zoom out:

With the destinations in sight:

Overall:

At least i am glad we cleared the Bermuda triangle!

My 328i is on the Faust just off the coast waiting its turn for the Panama Canal. WiLooks to be on schedule for Port Huenema on June 12. My CA says the car should hit the dealer in 5-7 days afterwards. Can't wait. I am in Phoenix AZ for surgery and had to spend $900 for a new radiator- better than having it go out while on the highway. Infiniti dealer was wonderful. Treated me like I was a "regular" - gave me a loaner so I could get to the hospital without any problem. I will be driving back 5 1/2 hours tomorrow, then wait for my new ride. I hope BMW service treats me as well as Infiniti has.

DrivenByE30 · 06-03-2012, 11:43 PM

Yes the Faust has just cleared the Panama Canal today sometimes in the afternoon (PST), unfortunately i was not around the internet to check out cameras

... i had been waiting in the morning thinking i had missed it... but the process took a while longer than i could wait.

Lavidal:
Looks like you had great service with Infiniti..
I do hope you will be treated very well with BMW... it's a random shot...
But Thanks for giving BMW a chance with their products.
Infiniti cars are really great too! I hope BMW will make you feel you didn't lose anything in the change.

DrivenByE30 · 06-05-2012, 05:20 PM

First sign of life from the Faust since crossing the canal of Panama...

Now it's sailing up the western america's coast in the Pacific Ocean...

getting closer

but it's still about 5 days away from the Californian coasts:

DrivenByE30 · 06-06-2012, 05:47 PM

Slowly going up the Coast

DrivenByE30 · 06-08-2012, 10:49 AM

more of the boring stuff...

DrivenByE30 · 06-12-2012, 08:28 AM

At Midnight on 6/12/12: (exactly two month after my delivery)
the ship is 4 hours away from the port!

Finally my car and me on the same picture, on the same map!! LOL

The last "100 meter"

DrivenByE30 · 06-12-2012, 10:42 AM

DrivenByE30 · 06-12-2012, 10:45 AM

JUST making sure it's the right one!

bmwm311 · 06-13-2012, 10:53 AM

so for those who were on the Faust, let's see who gets a call from your CA to pick up your F30 first. The race is on!

DrivenByE30 · 06-13-2012, 11:03 AM

LOL !!

what's your expected date ?

I'm thinking we were the only ones on the forums that was on the Faust haha. My CA said 3-5 days after port. My dealer is only an hour from Port Hueneme. So I hope to get it this weekend!

DrivenByE30 · 06-13-2012, 11:41 AM

I am in south Orange County.... how come my CA told 3 weeks?? high on something?!

This weekend would be awesome !!! I am ok for next week but NOT longer than that!

kjoseph270 and I both took delivery about 2-4 days after the ship arrived. We're both pretty close to the port (I'm only about 30 minutes, and he's about 100).

Yours may take longer because you have to go individually through customs. I hope your car has proper immigration papers.

DrivenByE30 · 06-13-2012, 06:02 PM

Thanks for the reminder Frogman! ... i just have to be patient.
Doing ED adds delay, as opposed to a special order with no prior delivery.

bmwm311 · 06-15-2012, 11:23 AM

woohoo got an email from my CA and going to pick up my F30 this afternoon!

time to schedule a tinting appointment and some vinyl roof wrapping.
