Very much so! No sense in spending this kind of money on any BMW and not getting some fun and enjoyment out of it. Otherwise I'd get a Prius or some small economy car and treat it like a blender. But nope, I want a 500hp V8 for Christmas!

Also, the "Glorious Leader" has finished its 1.5 days in Bruges, and is now on its way to Southampton. Soon after that, I hope she sails towards me and NY!!

How do you track the ship? I don't even know what ship I am on. Lol. I just know it's supposed to arrive in Galveston on 12/7.

My car took two damn weeks from being Dispatched to at the Port. Dispatched Nov 13. Started showing at Port Nov 27. Assuming this is all accurate and I'm not secretly on a ship.. I'm just hopeful maybe before January now. 🤔 Fkn 2020!

BMW Rep should be able to tell you the ship name. Then I use the MarineTraffic app on my iPhone to track it once I know it's name. And I paid $30 for one ship worth of satellite tracking for 1 month so I could track this one while it's in the ocean. (Yes, I have a problem.)

Oof. Should be soon, mine took about 12-14 calendar days to get assigned and onto a boat.

Big oof. Sorry buddy, hoping they get you on a ship fast to make up for that shipping delay. But from what I've seen 10-14 calendar days at port has been the norm this year which sucks. Keeping my fingers crossed for you though!

Congrats!!! My boat should dock within the next 18 hours according to MarineTraffic estimates. Hoping to pick mine up by next weekend as well. Will be fun around Christmas to play around and get used to it.

In wonderful news, the Glorious Leader (still can't stop chuckling at this dumb name) reached NY port!

Hopefully by this time next week I'll be driving home in it!

That's great news.

Imagine if that "Glorious Leader" vessel was shortly followed by "Inglorious Bastard", the latter would prolly carry "clean" VW diesels though

In another, equally exciting news, my car is at the port in NJ as well. ETA on delivery mid to late next week.

In an unexpected turn of events my baby arrived at the dealer today, 4 days ahead of schedule! Seems they're not super busy as I can already pick it up later. Will update with pictures later.
