Plug it into here and see if you've got a boat allocated:

http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto

BMWDave · 05-09-2008, 12:53 AM

You'll actually find the link doesn't work cause the website is set up that you have to "log in" when you do a new cargo search. instead go here: http://www.2wglobal.com/www/wep/index.jsp
and then click on "cargo tracking"
then click on "auto cargo"
then put in your VIN

cozza · 05-09-2008, 01:08 AM

Thanks guys, but I get the message: No tracking information is available for the Cargo ID you entered.

The car mustn't have completed production yet.

No, if you have a VIN it must have been built. It is waiting to get on a boat or en route to Bremerhaven. Mine took ages to get a boat after being built.

Just keep checking the WWL site and it will eventually show up.

cozza · 05-09-2008, 01:45 AM

So she's been born then! Wow! Now I'm excited..

Thanks for the info - I had no idea of the process.

smarm · 05-09-2008, 02:01 AM

Congrats mate

Still awaiting mine.....

professor · 05-09-2008, 03:09 AM

yeah, congrats cozza. send positive thoughts to her so she's not lonely in the holding area. :smile:

jksgoh · 05-09-2008, 03:44 AM

Hey good to hear you've got your VIN cozza.

Just checked my email... got my VIN too!

cozza · 05-11-2008, 08:02 AM

Wonder how long before we'll get any results through the tracking site? Surely they won't hold the car for too long before shipping it?

jksgoh · 05-11-2008, 09:50 PM

surely hope not! the wait is killing me... but i guess only time will tell

cozza · 05-11-2008, 10:27 PM

Tell me about it! I'm checking the website 4 or 5 times a day to see if there's any info... still nothing!!

Be patient. All the VIN is is the work order to get the car allocated in production. What you want to find out is the production start date. This is the date that your car actually starts getting built. Check with your dealer. The VIN won't show up for a few weeks on the shipping web site.

So just because I have a VIN doesn't mean the car is built? I thought cars were allocated VINs once they were completed...

Zuzu · 05-11-2008, 10:47 PM

Congrats Cozza...
Once the VIN is allocated the car is in production..
It will be built within 5 days of VIN allocation my dealer informed me.

cozza · 05-11-2008, 11:43 PM

My dealer has told me that its build date was week 19, which was last week. So, I'm guessing it must be done by now. Patience is a virtue, but this is doing my head in!

cozza · 05-15-2008, 07:32 PM

A week and still no tracking info available...

professor · 05-15-2008, 07:37 PM

i am SICK of not having any info at all on my order! i want to go to the launch event just so i can get a chance to corner my sa and pry it out of him even if it means i have to forcibly pour a bottle of 100-proof down his throat!

When did you place your order? Do you have a VIN as yet?

Zuzu · 05-15-2008, 07:43 PM

lol...Professor..
What waste of 100 proof.
Shell 98 octane should do the trick

professor · 05-15-2008, 08:12 PM

i placed the order with doncaster. i have no vin, no production number and the order was placed in mid-march. i am being slow-roasted - alive.

Zuzu · 05-15-2008, 08:21 PM

Corner the SA at the launch and give him a slow roasting..
