so 5 cars apart... that is, if yours is 64898

It will be interesting to see how close they remain through the process...

It is indeed 64898!

I called BMW genius today and they told me that my car will be done by 4/15. The uncertain time is how long it sits at the port waiting for the ship. I was told that the car will be coming to Baltimore port. They estimated that my car will be at the dealership middle to late May. They would have a much better ETA once the car is on the ship.

Wow what a coincidence you guys! That's so cool!

That's unreal! Who would think?

They told me same thing, complete by 4/15. Mine will be going to Brunswick, GA since I'm in north Florida. Good news is it's a real short drive for the carrier- about an hour.

I'll have to wait 3 long days for the car to come from Baltimore to Wichita.

With the different delays at various points that I've seen from MoeMo87 and bastula there's no telling which of us will get theirs first... As I said it'll be interesting to watch...

Seems like the webpage to track your build has been down since noon today.

Yup it's been down. I've been checking every hour

It's finally back up as of this morning. Mine still said dispatched an hour ago.

My status just changed from awaiting carrier assignment to dispatched from factory. Where does it say the time?

It doesn't say time or date... Genius may know. I'll call them later.

I see a train full of cars at the port... hoping one of them is mine. But then... it could sit there for 10 days like MoeMo87

I'm just using the MyBMW webpage. From the discussions on the forum, my sense is that I'm not using all the tools available to track my car.

See this post for info on how to track.

Some things are out of date- Genius doesn't give out status codes any more, for instance.

You can call BMW Genius, 1-844-443-6487. They sometimes have better info than the MyBMW page.

There's a webcam up at Bremerhaven, and you can see the train with cars on it and a ship or two. It's static though...

Then you can track once it's on a ship. All sorts of things to eat up the waiting time!!

Make it 11 days

So far I missed the ship for 4/7,4/9,4/15.
Hopefully I can get on the next one on 4/18.

You might get on a ship before me to tell you the truth, your process has been going fairly quick

Call that 1800 GENIUS number, they are always happy to give you info and updates about your car. They literally tell me to call them everyday for updates

I hope you do...

Glorious Leader looks to be in port for 40 hours when she arrives today, and leaving on the 18th... but she doesn't stop in Baltimore. Still... 40 hours to load ~ 1000 vehicles... I remain hopeful...

Aniara and Thalata leave for Baltimore on the 17th and 19th respectively... And those are just the WW ships... There may be NYK or Kline ships that go to Baltimore...

I've also noticed that many that go to Baltimore don't go to Brunswick (Where my car is going), and vice versa....

In any case there seem to be a large number of ships over the next week... With luck all of our cars will be on the ocean soon.
