Independence II Official Tracking Thread

My car made it on the Independence II! I was looking at the shipping schedules and I thought it had missed that boat, but it looks like the 800# was just behind a few days and it made it out of Bremerhaven on June 7th. Scheduled to arrive in Southampton UK today (the 9th) and hitting stateside in Baltimore on the 18th!

Anyone else on this boat? Let's track it here.

Looks like it's just outside of Southampton at the time of this post:

My dealer told me mine made it on the Independence

He originally told me it wasn't going to go out until the 11th on the Titania. I was really worried.

I've kept checking the Wallenius website and putting in part of my VIN to see if it show up. Nothing still yet.

Are you seeing yours on the Wallenius site?

I haven't tried tracking it on the site, but my CA confirmed its on this boat. The tracking sticky mentions putting your VIN in might not work, so just call your salesman.

The phone tracking still says I am at port. I'm crossing my fingers that it's only the phone system that hasn't been updated, but I won't hold my breath.

My car was sitting at port for 11 days. I saw 4 ships come into port that were headed to either Baltimore or New York but it never made it on one of those. The phone system has been updated with ships that are on the Independence. I verified mine yesterday. Still can't find it via the VIN on the Wallenius site.

Good luck and I know the wait is a killer.

The Independence II left the port of Southampton late last night, and is now steaming to Baltimore. Seven more days at sea before my baby hits the states!

Awesome, my vehicle is show up on the Wallenius site now. That makes me feel all the more comfortable and what a nice way to start off a Monday.

If you haven't checked your vehicle enter your VIN in the Cargo ID field in https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage

LAnderson, where are you located in Ohio?

Ah, mine is showing up on there now too. It looks like the arrival date has been pushed back one day to the 19th. :-/ I was afraid of that, as they left Bremerhaven a day late too. Ah well.

I just saw your info, you are in Willoughby huh? Not too far from me, I'm in Akron. Looks like we will be getting our cars just about the same time then.

Thanks brother, unfortunately I don't think I'll have quite as epic a journal to post as you, but I'll get some pics up when I get her for sure! Can't wait! Thanks for the good-will.

Yeah, I was a bit puzzled when the boat dropped off the other site (split-second panic, hah) then figured it only worked close to a port or something. This one isn't nearly as accurate or up to date but for a daily update it works.

What I ordered:

328i
Sport Line
Mineral Grey Metallic
Everest Grey Leather Interior
Aluminum Trim
Red Dash Accent
Manual Transmission
Premium Package
Tech Package
Parking Package
Adaptive Xenons
Split Fold Down Rear Seats
Heated Front Seats

In hindsight, I kind of wish I would have just bit the bullet and gotten the enhanced USB/BT and the auto rear sunshade (since I got nearly everything else) but too late for 2nd guesses now. What about you?

Wow, very nice. Wish I would have gone for a couple of those options myself.

I'm not a member of the car club, nor have I heard of one. It might be something I would be interested in. Are you?

The ship hasn't posted an update since the 13th, so I have no idea where it is at at the moment :-/

It's rare such a hackneyed metaphor gets elevated to the point of having literal relevance. Kudos and cheers.

Enjoy your new car when you receive it.
