Wonder if vehicles get assigned a ship at random times of the day. Ever since the Resolve and the Horizon Highway have ported I've logged in multiple times yesterday and today. Really hoping for the horizon as it is about 10 days faster than the resolve.

I found most of the updates happened around 8-10am In Germany.

When my m550i was at the port it changed over to "In Transit" around 8am.

Ok, think it's about 1 am there now. I'll check in the morning when I wake up

Well technically it's at *a* port.

Hope you're behind the wheel soon!

Checked a couple times today with it still at the port. Does it only update on weekdays? Really hope there is a delay on its status and it made it on to the horizon highway so it gets here in early december instead of mid december because of a stop over in norway.

FWIW, I called BMW Genius while mine still showed "At the port" online and they said they had no vessel information.

The next morning (I think it was a Tuesday), it had updated to "In transit". I called Genius again and they gave me the vessel info. Of course, I immediately plugged that into marinetraffic and googled to find its itinerary. By that point it time, it was already at Southampton and had left Bremerhaven 2 or 3 days prior.

So, it would appear that both the website and Genius might not know of the vessel info until after it's already underway.

Good to know. I'm hoping i made it onto the Faust, which left Bremerhaven on saturday morning. Otherwise, i'll have to sit in port for another week...

So like usual the first thing I do after I rollover and turn my alarm off is check the status. It's now in transit. I will call either later tomorrow or Wednesday to see what ship it's on in hopes that it did make it on to the horizon highway.

I'm in transit as well this AM. Tried calling Genius, but their new system seems out of order for the moment.

I'm guessing I'm on the Faust, since I'm west coast bound

Congratulations. I think our cars had the same pw46 but mine is "at port" today. They said maybe a week before it gets a ship. Yours seams to have only been a day or two before yours changed to in transit.

My M550 switched to "In transit" as well. It is on the Faust heading to Baltimore. Called Genius today and their new system is messed up a bit. You just have to wait it out and the call will eventually get answered by a human. I think they forgot to check the box that says to play hold music.

You can check the schedule on:
https://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?min...m/ScheduleRWD/

Just enter origin and destination ports, and turn back the start date, as it left on the 17th. Faust is currently in Southampton, and scheduled to arrive Baltimore on Nov 30.

I'm on the boat as well, but headed to Port Hueneme, scheduled to arrive Dec 15

LOL I guess this is BMW's latest effort to discourage people checking on order status...

I was able to get through this AM, with no delay

Talked to them a little while ago and they told me mine ended up on the Horizon Highway. Should be a christmas present after all.

Bremerhaven 17/18Nov
Southampton 20Nov
Baltimore 30Nov/01Dec
Brunswick 03/04Dec (Weird that this is scheduled before south carolina)
Charleston 05Dec

Info below is thinking positive with the timeline:
12 days to nearest port
1 day to offload
1 day at customs
2 VPC
1 day to dealer (about a 5 to 6 hour drive point to point)

18 nov +17 days puts it at the dealer around 05Dec

Nice. Should be pretty sweet.

I was supposed to be able to pick my M550i tomorrow but it missed the truck the day before thanksgiving. Now I'm looking at Tuesday or Wednesday.

My mods so far are: (White car)

Black Kidney Grilles
Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps
Carbon Fiber Spoiler
Black side vent covers
M Performance Rocker Panels

I want to get the Remus exhaust but I like the stock rectangular exhaust caps so I need to figure that out.

I also want the carbon fiber rear diffuser, but since it disables the kick trunk feature, I'm gonna hold off for now.

Aside from that I'm going to carbon fiber wrap the roof around the moonroof and dark ceramic tint. Probably some sort of paint protection.

I haven't really been a fan of carbon fiber parts for this car so it was actually a challenge to find one that I liked.

For those on K-Line ships, they updated their RORO schedule a few days ago. Orion Highway, which I'm on, is now arriving at all east coast ports 3-4 days later than scheduled. Horizon Highway and Agean Highway appear to still be on schedule, but worth keeping an eye on.

Orion appears to have taken 14 days to go from Southampton to Baltimore. Horizon is only scheduled for 9 days for the same transatlantic leg.
