Okay, so I analyzed the entire 335/328 inventory of Fields BMW. I checked the W&W tracking of all the ones made in Germany. I probably searched around 50 VINs, give or take. Of those, only 3 even showed up in the system. Two were delivered to Baltimore, MD and one was delivered to Brunswick, GA.
I am pretty much convinced that my vehicle will never show up in the W&W system, for reasons that I will never know. I called my SA and he is going to check later today when he gets into the office. I guess i'm going to be flying blind until the car just magically appears in the U.S. somewhere. I'm hoping to take ownership by April 9th, my birthday. It would make for a happy day.

Interesting: I found a way to do an advanced search, despite the fact that no such link is provided. If you do the track option and get to the quick search, edit the url so the last parameter is "displayOceanAdvancedSearchResult" instead of "displayOceanQuickSearchResult". Now you can do a much better search.
I wanted to see what left on the Integrity on the 7th of March from Bremerhaven. I did find some BMWs, specifically this one: WBA3A5G53DNP24327. Notice that the 11th digit is a "N", which is supposed to mean South Africa. Yes, this vehicle was supposedly made in South Africa, but shipped out of Germany on the Integrity. It finished production on Jan 17th and was booked on this ship by Feb 14th. By the way, there are 58 more BMWs on this ship that follow this pattern of having 5xDNP##### in the vin, meaning they are built in South Africa. Anybody care to explain?

Is there anybody else that they use, when shipping from Germany to southeast US, specifically Florida?

So since virtually none of the German-built cars at my local Fields BMW show up in the W&W tracking, I am going to believe that they use a different carrier, like K-Line: http://www.kline.com/ . After checking their Atlantic RoRo(wtf is that), I see that they have a very similar east-coast set of ports, hitting Southhampton, Baltimore, Brunswick, Charleston, and back to Bremerhaven.
See the XLS here: http://www.kline.com/KAMCarCarrier/S...g_Schedule.XLS Their "Athens Highway" left Bremerhaven on March 9th, and the next one, "California Highway" leaves Bremerhaven on March 14th(tomorrow). Perhaps I am on one of these.

SA verified that they use KLine. He ordered a car at the same time that I did, and his was produced March 2nd (mine was march 4th). His is already on the Athens Highway, it left 2 days late(11th instead of 9th). I am fully expecting that mine will make it onto the California Highway, which is scheduled to leave today, but will probably also be a day or so late.

First off congrats on your purchase.
I have a question when you set up to track your vehicle. I got my production # and try to enter it and keep getting an error like the picture shown: Any clue?? Last edited by ichibanb18c; 03-14-2013 at 06:38 PM.. |

I waited about a week until I could put my production number in there. BTW you may want to cover your production # in the picture. Last edited by pallymore; 03-14-2013 at 09:11 PM.. |

Yea, I remember that when I first got my production #, I tried to put it in but was denied. I had to wait a couple days for it to be in the system. Then, the picture for the car was incorrect and the information was missing. Finally the picture updated and the information filled in, all though some things weren't listed. It's all good though, b/c once I got my VIN and the car was done, I checked it in the BMWVIN.com site and everything looked just as I ordered.
Pallymore, were you thinking that somebody could enter in his production# and claim his car? I wouldn't be too worried, as you can add cars by VIN too, which are publicly available(visible on car).

Dont think you can do anything with the production # since I believe its in the system and already allocated. Jeff_in_Oviedo, I ordered mines from Fields too! |

Looks like BMW is really pushing to get the vehicles at port loaded onto ships. There are at least 6 vehicle carriers at port now, with 3 being loaded and 3 moored and waiting. There are two more due to arrive within next 24 hours.
With each having the capacity to take 4-5,000+ cars, that should be at least 30,000 that should be loaded within next 72 hours. Jeff, I think you, Pally and I could be about 3 weeks away from delivery. Let the race begin! |
