Anyone else on the WW HONOR?

So far, I've had a pretty quick turn:

9/12: Car ordered
9/20: Production Started
9/25: Car is in transport to port of exit
10/1: Car is awaiting a vessel
10/6: Car is in transit (WW site shows car was loaded on the 4th)

The shipping dates are a bit suspect as the WW site also listed it as having departed Bremerhaven on the 2nd, and having departed Southampton on the 4th.

They estimate arrival in Baltimore on the October 16th.

Getting more excited with each passing milestone!

Curious - your car was in transit to the port of exit for all those days or is that just when you called and found out it was "awaitng a vessel"? I expected 1-2 days to arrive at the port of exit.

I phoned the BMW automated system every day. I agree, I had expected the status of "transported to port of exit" to be 2-3 days, not 7 days.

I did not call on the 5th, so it is possible (likely, given the info from the WW shipping site) that that status yesterday would have also been "vehicle in transit."

Looking at sailwx, the HONOR appears to be halfway across the North Atlantic already!

Yep - I've been watching it steam up the Chesapeake Bay today. My CA figures it'll be ready for me by the end of the month, maybe sooner.

Docked, and (hopefully) unloading tonight!

I've got an Estoril blue msport 335 coming in the Honor, I can't handle the excitement anymore! Dealer estimated that it'll be here before the end of the month, but it's got a long truck ride to the mid west....

The marinetraffic.com site still shows HONOR in port. I haven't seen any status update from the WW site yet. I wonder how long it takes the cars to be unloaded, or for a status change to show up on the WW site?

This morning I see via the marine traffic.com site that the Honor has moved to a different dock in Baltimore. Looking around at the Google photos, this port seems to have more new cars parked near it. I wonder which port is used for unloading the BMWs? Maybe the unloading didn't start until last night?

Motorwerks as well. That's where I ordered my 335 back in 2007.
