Some of the Week 20 folks are reporting that they are in transit as of this morning, so that's good news. Hopefully won't be long now.

I saw that as well. Been tracking the previous couple of weeks builds to see when they are getting ships. I called Genius this morning to see if there was any other information available. They were able to tell me that my car is at Bremerhaven awaiting a ship assignment. Told me to call early next week to see if there has been any movement. There are a couple ships leaving next week so I might wait until they depart to call.

Legit have been in "dispatched from factory" status since 5/27. This doesn't seem normal lol My car probably fell off the train, who knows at this rate.

If you’re at Status 193 At the Port and are an East Coast POA you can put your phones away until next week. No ships of interest departing Bremerhaven until next week. Three opportunities for my fellow Brunswick POAs.

You’re good. Mine went to “Dispatched from factory” on 5/25. Just flipped to “At the port” Tuesday morning 5/30. It was a holiday over there Monday too so not much happened. Europeans take their days off seriously. No ships until next week so you’re not missing much at the port….

Mine was in that status for 3-4 days, and that wasn't over a holiday weekend. Totally normal.

Fingers crossed I get on one of those ships ha Would be a nice birthday present getting it by end of June.

bimmer2009kh · 06-01-2023, 05:12 AM

193 this morning! Woohoo! Let’s goooooo east coast! Haha now we wait again.

By the way, noticed you can add the car to the myBMW app before delivery and lets you see some basic stuff about your car. I thought it was cool.

crvz · 06-02-2023, 06:17 PM

I am at the port today as well. I think I read there are boats leaving for east coast on the 8th and 9th, hopefully ill be on a ship in the next week.

Do you have a list of ships? Or how can I look that up? I believe I’m headed to Brunswick.

WW has ships leaving Bremerhaven on May 31, June 7, 8, 12, 15, 16 with stops in Brunswick.

KLine has one leaving Bremerhaven June 11.

So a couple of WW ships and ARC integrity would be the best options to get out of there quickly. Sounds like there is white the backlog looking at previous build weeks. Lots of ships leaving so hopefully that backlog gets caught up.

Hi crvz, check out the quoted post above. A few of us are headed to Brunswick. Basically, look for updates starting June 7th.

Check out this thread. Has links to the RORO shipping companies that BMW uses. It’s older info so some of the links don’t work anymore but you can get to the main websites and search for the shipping schedules.

Currently on the Gaia Leader according to genius. Left Bremerhaven yesterday. However, when I track it, it appears to be on its way to that port. Is there a delay for where the ship actually is?

You sure your car is/was in Bremerhaven? Might be your car was in Zeebrugge and the Gaia Leader stopped there first. Just a guess if Genius says your car is onboard.

Just checked and Gaia Leader did stop in Zeebrugge on June 4th. Stops in Bremerhaven on June 8th. Had to be your car was in Zeebrugge.

Does BMW send cars to Belgium for RORO?

Yes, at least as far as M3/M4’s go the two ports are Zeebrugge, Belgium or Bremerhaven, Germany.

The M550i can ship from either as well. Mine is on the Oregon Highway, which departed Zeebrugge on 31 May. ETA Baltimore is 9 June.

Tano22 · 06-06-2023, 07:16 AM

Folks....I am in transit as of this morning. Status 195. Destination Brunswick. I'll call later today to find out which ship I am on.

Tano22 · 06-06-2023, 10:50 AM

Alright. According to Genius, I am on the Brooklands.

https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9748289

They told me that it left port on June 2nd and its estimated in transit 11 days, with an arrival in Brunswick, GA on June 13th.

Ugh I’m jealous but congrats! Looks like you arrived at the port 3 days before me so fingers crossed I get on a boat to Brunswick this week. 😎
