For me personally, my car sat with a carrier for a week, then was delivered to port in SA and sat there for another week before departing. Estimated to be on the water for a total of 18 days I think. |

Spoke to a Genius today and they have nothing new. I just hope that the ship it gets on goes directly to the US. Actually considering on reneging on the order and buying from the lot if the delay gets to be too much. How was the PCD experience, worth the wait? |

PCD is def worth the wait. Your whole experience starts the morning of the flight. A quick plane ride into Greenvile and then a short car ride in either a 7 series or X5. If you arrive early like I did last year, that entire day could not go by slower. The room they put you up in is great and the complimentary dinner exceeded expectations. If you manage to fall asleep that night, you start the next day bright and early. As soon as your on the bus, you realize that the extra wait was worth it. Taking delivery at a dealership only lasts about an hour, here you get an entire day of excitement. Not only do you get a better delivery experience but you now have an 1000 mile drive home to really open her up. I really want to drive in the mountains this time but the thought of driving the opposite direction of where I'm going really bugs me. I plan on stopping in Orlando and taking advantage of my universal annual pass. Another benefit of PCD is that the detailing team is awesome. I know South/Braman BMW will jack up your paint if you let them anywhere near so I always tell them to not touch it. I asked a couple of people of the forums and they said that PCD did a great job and not to worry. I took the risk and they left my paint swirl free. When picking your date, look at Allegiant Air flights out of Ft Lauderdale, I got mine last year for like $59.

Talked to genius today. Serenity Ace left on 3/23. However, the ship will take a 6 week journey (5/4). Lol. Might as well have order a MY 2017. Guessing you may be in the same boat. PCD is looking like late May now. |

The long journey really makes this a lot harder. A boat left 5 days before this one and would have had us arriving at port on around the 8th of April. I guess well be seeing each other at PCD lol

I've got a 340i slated for PCD from SA as well...just released to carrier today. At what point were you able to find out the vessel information from BMW? Do I have to wait until the car arrives at the POE?

Was on a ship on the 23rd Found out today from BMW, the 30th that it was on a ship. They seem to have a delay from when it gets on a ship to when they know.

Now really drive yourself crazy and do some live tracking.
http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/...SERENITY%20ACE If this link fails, go to http://www.marinetraffic.com, click on "VESSELS", type yours in, and "watch" your ship in action (kind of). |

This, of course, gave me plenty of time to think about worst-case scenarios for my car: What if it comes loose from it's tie-downs? What if the ship sinks? Are they going to hide damage from me? The "bad things" list went on and on. Obviously, it got here safe and sound; but, yeah, the mind will wander into dark territory during your car's voyage. |

The BMW Customer service rep states it should arrive in GA (Brunswick) in approximately 27 days.

I think BMW is being safe with the arrival date because the scheduled arrival date is the 28th, so 23 days instead of 27. Currently the ship is ahead of scheudle by 1 day, arriving in Spain on the 7th instead of the 8th. My CA said port Charleston but this ship doesn't make a stop there. I wonder if they rail it up there to the VPC.
