Track My 2011 1 Series M Coupe

Mahlzeit · 09-06-2011, 01:55 PM

Called the 800 # this AM. I'm production complete and en route to port of exit. I'm on the West coast, and wondering how long it'll take to get to my dealer. I've resigned myself to ~6 weeks so like mid October is what I'm thinking.

6 weeks seems ambitious, but I guess it all depends on how long you have to wait for a boat. Hopefully my experience was the anomaly.

Don't know the boat's name yet. PCD in 3 weeks!!!

de85275 · 09-26-2011, 09:36 AM

The car is on vessel - California Highway
Voyage# 10A

How does one track a ship?

Thanks.

Thanks.

what production week did you have? How did you find the ship name? Once you have the ship name I think there are international ocean tracking websites that you can go to and track your ship with live updates...but idk where exactly, I think there was a thread about it. Congrats!

Mahlzeit · 09-26-2011, 12:37 PM

Call your CA - he/she will be able to get you the vessel name, then you can track it through various online resources.

I'm on the Grand Venus - should be docking in Cali Oct 11 or 13th. I had week 36 production.

Note that a ship can be out of range when in the middle of the Atlantic. The above link will give you last known location.

Thanks, week 34, 35? not sure, production started 8/27. Your CA is the only one that can get that information. He/she needs to do a Vehicle Inquiry Report to get that.

Wednesday of course.

Pix to follow.

It did show that is was no longer en route Saturday afternoon.

de85275 · 09-26-2011, 02:13 PM

I would have said Tuesday, and skip the PDI.

swimfreak · 09-26-2011, 02:25 PM

My car is also on the California Highway. Haven't found it on marinetraffic.com yet, but I did find it here: http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...tml?call=3FJL6

That site is a little out of date by a day or so, but it at least shows the status, and that it's left Southampton and on it's way across the Atlantic.

Thanks, that looks easier to track than the sailwx site.

No idea, I was just saying that there will probably be one in the future.

There probably won't be any updates until Oct 2 when it gets close to Baltimore.

de85275 · 09-29-2011, 07:06 PM

Traded in my current toy, and wrote a big check for the new toy.

de85275 · 10-02-2011, 10:32 PM

She's getting closer. Am I getting excited...Yes!

de85275 · 10-09-2011, 08:02 PM
