When and where did it leave from? Mine finished production Saturday and I'm hoping it's on a boat already but that's probably too optimistic.

Tiger isn't bound for NY.

For NY deliveries, you may actually be shit outa luck. There is a boat leaving tomorrow (loaded today) from Bremerhaven that docks on Jan 2nd. However, if your car just finished production Sat, chances are it either hasn't reached the port of exit, or has just arrived there (my car took 3 days from end of production to reach port of exit). If you're lucky and you managed to catch the ship leaving tomorrow (the Torino from WW), then you can expect an early Jan delivery.

However, if you're like most people on here, and need to wait a week in port, then you're screwed, because the next WW ship from Germany that actually stops in NY departs like Jan 7th, and doesn't dock in NY until Jan 23rd.

Of course, there may be a non WW ship that sails from Germany to NY, or they may ship your car to say Boston and then truck it to NY instead of waiting for the Jan 7th ship. Best bet is to call your CA next week and see if it made a ship. They have up to date information.

Hope you make an earlier ship! My CA should tell me in a day or two if I managed to catch the Torino (have been waiting in port since 12/12)

My EB M-Sport is on the Tiger, too. It's due in Port Hueneme on 01/09.

I don't know how long customs and VPC will take. They have to install brakes and exhaust.

I wonder if I request, can I get the old brakes and exhaust (and grill). I paid for them.

I just noticed my vehicle status had changed last night 12/18. But, it was loaded on the Tiger actually on 12/15, at the Bremerhaven dock on 12/14, and booked on 12/10. So there is a delay before you are notified. The Tiger was/is actually in Southampton before I had a clue my car was in transit to Port Hueneme.

If you go to Bimmerfest.com website, and research the ED forum for East Coast delivery, you can find the shipping company/agent, input your VIN and I think you'll be real time with your cars status.

I just discovered this just now.

Were you going to get the Power Kit too? I wanted to get the PPK but the dealer said it wasn't available yet.

Damn. The 23rd would SUCK. Thanks for the info. Will be calling my CA tomorrow. Good luck, hopefully we're both on the earlier one.

The Power Kit containing the M-Performance Exhaust and black grills is a port-install.

The other Power Performance Kit that adds 20 extra HP I don't think is available yet.

Yeah it's definitely delayed but now also seems unreliable. Here's my timeline for the last week and a half:

In production as of 12/8, estimated completion 12/18.

By middle of last week, estimate changed to 12/15.

Saturday 12/15, said it was being transported to port of exit.

By Monday, said "production completed, waiting to be released to carrier." when I speak to representative, that is as of last update on 12/15.

Doesn't this seem like my last two updates were backwards?

Looks like I'm at the Port, guess that means I missed the boat, literally...

Sucks, though I may have missed it too, unless the 1800 is still lagging. If by Sat it's still at port then I prob missed the Torino.

On the plus side, maybe we'll get lucky and jump on a SA ship that's stopping in Bremerhaven before going on to NY. My dealer told me that I'm in very good shape to take delivery before Jan 12.

Yeah I tried this yesterday night (12/19) and it had no results for my car, so yeah =/.

BUT I just decided what the heck and checked again, and IT'S ON SWIFT ACE! =D Guess it finally updated today.

Guess they decided to stuff my car on the one coming from SA to NY instead of the one dedicated from Ger to NY (The Torino).

Hope my fellow NYers made it on also, go check the WW website now with your vin!

ETA to NY 12/28, hopefully in the dealership right after new years!

That's awesome, congrats. Still showing "no records found" for me.. Guessing this means I'll have to cross my fingers for something else before that January ship you mentioned. When did you get loaded on Swift Ace, can you tell? I'm waiting to find out from my CA when exactly I got to Port. All he confirmed so far was that it was at the Port and he claims it will be the last loaded, first off because he put a "hot ticket" on it. Not sure how much I buy that but I have seen others on here say the same thing. Seems every salesman would do that if it was really that simple.

I've been following the Tiger on marinetraffic.com for 3 days. Boy, it seems to move pretty darn slow. I guess I'm being impatient.

I assume it was loaded late on the 19th. When i checked WW website, I had no records found as of 7pm on the 19th. As of 3pm on the 20th it was found as on the Swift Ace. The swift ace departed Bremerhaven I think around 1AM on the 20th.

Since it's proven that they can and will load NY bound cars on ships passing through Germany from SA, it's quite possible you'll catch one of those, since they actually take a more direct route to NYC after Germany port.

Hope so. If nothing else, I see there is another ship, the Turandot, heading from Bremerhaven to NY Dec 27, getting in 1/10. Hopefully I'm on that if nothing sooner. Anyone know anything about that ship? Looks like it goes from Germany to Belgium, the UK, NY, Baltimore, and back to Bremerhaven.

Quite possible, since a few other forum members have had their car on the Turandot before. Don't know if there's any other ships leaving this week.

Happy New Year. For those on the Tiger, it is passing through the Panama Canal right now.
