Another F30 Order (and now my agony of waiting begins too!)




Mineral Grey Metallic
Sport Line
Tech Package
Power Seats
Heated Front Seats
BMW Apps
BMW Assist

Only thing I really would've wanted was the xenon's with the halo's but just couldn't see forking out the extra $$. I can't wait!

Congrats!! Great choice of colour and options. Although can you remind me what comes in the tech pack in the US?

Don't worry about the Xenons, they are massively overpriced and you'll barely notice it.

Thanks! Yeah, I don't care so much for the xenon's but the halo's look pretty sweet. Oh well, I'll be behind the wheel! The U.S. tech package is the Navigation System, Head-up Display, Extended Content Instrument Cluster, and Real Time Traffic Information.

Here's the agony for West Coast people. Just checked the WW schedule:

BREMERHAVEN 05/05/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 30/05/2012 ASIAN VISION

BREMERHAVEN 19/05/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 13/06/2012 FAUST

BREMERHAVEN 02/06/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 27/06/2012 TOMBARRA

BREMERHAVEN 16/06/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 11/07/2012 OTELLO

BREMERHAVEN 30/06/2012 PORT HUENEME, CA 25/07/2012 AIDA

If I'm REALLY lucky like I was with the production, hopefully the car can get on the Asian Vision. Otherwise I'll be waiting until June.

What??? You only ordered it on April 13th & it will finish production by April 24th? That's less than 2 weeks!!

I am SO jealous (see my sig - explanation enough)!

EDIT: Whoops, I realized I didn't put it in my sig. My order was Feb 22nd. It doesn't go into production until May.

Yeah, apparently I got lucky. My dealer told me they had snagged a car that was getting ready to go into production and change the options (must've been slated for that dealership is my guess). So in 2 days from the day I ordered it was in production.

Progress!

Automated line says it's being transported to the port! Finally has updated on the website too with the correct options, etc. Hopefully it gets on one of the ships that are in port now...anyone know what the chances of that are?

Great news! Now we can race to Port Hueneme!

My ship should be transiting Panama on the 14th/15th. I have not be able to track it since it left Southampton. I can't believe I'm so OCD about tracking this car. It's our 3rd BMW, but our first custom ordered one.

I know what you mean, After sitting at the port for 2 weeks I'm glad to finally be able to track it!

Well should be able to track on East coast soon. Any west coast folks know if the tracking shows up the entire time or are there gaps like when it's in the Atlantic?

I have not been able to track my ship either (Demeter Leader) since it left Southampton on the 30th. I'm hoping it will show up in Panama sometime on Monday. I've tried the 3 main tracking sites (sailwx, fleetmon, and marinetraffic) but they all show the same thing; no location info for the last 11 days. 8 weeks since ordering and counting...

I found your ship on sailwx; near the East Coast!

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...tml?call=ZGBI7

It looks like your ship reports position information while at sea! Mine doesn't.

My ship is headed directly to the Panama Canal, it looks like you are stopping in Baltimore first.

Sweet! It has been forever since sailwx updated. Last night it was still showing in the
English Channel! Yeah, too bad it has to stop on East coast. I still have a little over 2 week wait for it to reach the West coast.

Damn, how come? I would've thought the East coast ships go out more often...but then again, more cars heading that way I guess.
