My new 530e just left port for Port Hueneme. Anyone else aboard as well?

Talkstr8t · 12-28-2020, 01:09 PM

After sitting in port for over two weeks My BMW reports as of this morning (12/28) that my 530e is in transit. Based on lag times and shipping schedules my guess is she's on the Virgo Leader, which departed Bremerhaven on 12/22 and is due to arrive Port Hueneme on 1/20. Does that sound like the right ship? The last WWL ship departed 12/12 which I missed by a couple of days, and the next one isn't until 1/3.

I have a Test Drive for Hunger incentive which expires if I don't take delivery by 2/1, is ten days likely enough time to make it from the port to Peter Pan BMW in San Mateo?

This will be my first BMW, I'm looking forward to joining the club!

Mine made it from Port Hueneme to Scottsdale AZ (a longer distance) in a couple of days. What could delay it is if you have any port installed options.

Call BMW Genius and they can tell you what ship you are on. Then you can take a bit of the timing and mystery out of it.

You can track it from the port to the dealership via "unitedroad.com"
