Smile GLORIOUS LEADER setting sale March 24th, all aboard!!

I may have missed the ASIAN KING, so I am starting a thread for the next ship heading to the West Coast (USA). This ship looks like it is in much better shape then that rusty ASIAN KING!

lol you're going to keep making ship tracking pages? Hahaha

Let's hope you're on the Asian King after all, even though it is a bit funny to do this, it's quite sad if you had to wait another 2 weeks extra.

Question about the ships. Are their specific ships that head to the east coast to the port in NY. I ordered my car from a dealer in PA. It looks like all of these threads for the ships are heading to the west coast.

Yeah these are going to the West coast but it's easy enough to find the boats going to the East coast. Basically what you need to do is to check at what port your car will most likely arrive and then you can find most of the ships on this website: http://sagaweb.2wglobal.com/AppSchedules/countryList.do Just enter Germany/Bremerhaven as port of departure, and USA/whatever-port-here and you get a list of ships. Then just see when your car is in port and it will most likely be on the next ship out of there (depending on how much cars are before you). There is a small chance your ship is going through another carrier (NYK or EUKOR for example) but most of the times its the carrier with this ship.

A good page to check for tracking your car all the way is this one: http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/07/14/ho...d-to-delivery/ It tells a lot about the tracking process

Don't rely solely on wallenius, my car left on a ship though k-Line doesn't show up on wallenius site and I didnt have the info from my CA until 5 days after it set sail.

I dropped mine off in Nice, France @ TT Car Transit on March 9th. Any ideas whether it will get on GL ship on 24th?

With a name like "Glorious Leader", I was expecting this ship to be registered in North Korea.

i am not sure how ED shipments work, there is not a pickup in Nice that i can find? i am guessing your car is transported to Bremerhaven and then shipped to the States?

It also depends to part of the country his car has to go, East or West coast

I forgot which site it was, but there was a site which showed the ports where the cars leave from Europe to the US. One of them was Zeebrugge, so it doesn't have to be Bremerhaven, they probably pick the closest one

we bought our F30s from the same dealership, so it would be cool to take delivery the same day as a fellow F30post member.

yup, I think it goes north to one of the ports. Hopefully it will board the ship on 24th I can't believe it has only been 3 days since I dropped my car off and it already feels like ages. This is going to be very painful

In his case, you do know you would have to wait another month before he has the car, right? lol

Yeah I can imagine. I wish I could have done ED but seeing how my current car is a lease and the lease expires April 7, I wouldn't have had a car for at least 1-2 months. The lease, so they said, could only be extended if I took delivery at the dealership (dunno if it's true but didn't want to take the chance). With our current car I could've done it, but that one was build on the mainland so no luck there again lol. Oh well, 3rd time's a charm they say so hopefully next time (funny coz it would be the 4th bimmer, just 3rd time I'm there to get it lol). Ah oh well, it's not like I would've visited exotic places like you guys, I would just have gone to my old country and mostly stayed with my mother lol
