Destination Mystery - Vehicle Distribution Center
My 328i has been produced and I tracked it to Bremerhaven. I live in Nebraska and purchased the car here, at Lincoln BMW. I kept looking for my car to be on a WW ship to New York/New Jersey, which is where the BMW VDC is located. From my experience this is the VDC that generally serves for cars going to the MidWest.
However, WW lists my car as being on the good ship TYSLA. This ship does not go to New York. It stops in Baltimore and Savannah. Does BMW have a VDC in Savannah? Does BMW sometimes contract with the Mercedes VPC in Baltimore to prep its cars? (heard this once). Thanks for any info Tom |

I think some of the shipping guide info in the "sticky" posts may be outdated. My car was on the ship California Highway, operated by K-Line, not WW. I was able to track that ship (stopped in Baltimore, Brunswick, then Charleston). I'm assuming my car came off the ship in Brunswick GA (since I live in Tampa), which would have been on the 21st. Haven't heard anything yet from my dealership but hoping the car is arriving soon!
Anyone out there have any updates as to timeframes once the car reached the US?

Yea the shipping info is rather dated on the threads. My ship traveled from Bremerhaven to Baltimore, Brunswick and South Carolina. It was on a K-Line ship called Dover Highway. |
