How close is my F36 away?

I've been reading many posts re. delivery times and I've been shocked at how long it takes some of you to get your F3X from production to the driveway. I ordered my F36 late November...had it into production early Dec..and on the boat starting today. Is this all based on a dealers available allocation? How long do the vessels take to get to the port?

1. Go to https://www.2wglobal.com/
2. Click on "Track & trace"
3. In Cargo ID box, entire your VIN. This should get your ship name and schedule.
4. If you want to track the ship over the Atlantic, go to http://www.marinetraffic.com/ and entire your ship name

I don't know how long it takes for your car to go from your port to your dealer. In my case it only took like 3 days.

There were shortages of MSport brakes that delayed mine 1 month. Someone here has been waiting months for leather dash.

I know mine doesn't have the M Sport brakes, but it does have ACC. Seems to all be in fine supply as it's on the boat here.

Does anyone know of another member with an F36 with ACC?

The boat takes about 2 weeks to get here, plus add on another week for all the port and dealer stuff. 3s and 4s are currently averaging 8-10 weeks for delivery after ordering. I ordered on 10/16 and delivery is tentatively scheduled for Monday 12/22.

That's a lot longer than I expected. My dealer had an allocation going into production like a week after I first came into the dealership so he was able to get my car produced in three weeks. Just got produced and on the vessel before production shutdown. I guess I'm lucky.

For you though....a nice stocking stuffer

you can track the boat by the vin number, there is a thread here on exactly how to do so. Mine took 6 days to cross the atlantic and reach NY from germany, then 2 days to pass through decontamination and get to the dealer. I believe it was a total of 12 days.

Takes nearly a month to get from Germany to West Coast. Took another week from port to dealer. Was worth the wait though.

6 days from Germany? Doubtful. It takes 7 days from Santander in Spain, and there are numerous stops between there and Germany. The shortest trip they have listed takes 12 days. And their itineraries are just estimates. Instead of 16 days like they said, Torino took 19 days.

Really wish mine shipped out on WW. I'm not able to track it via their portal, so I can only assume it went out on a different line.
