No problem we all need some encouragement the wait has been crazy to say the lease. Also i recall reading with WW boats you can track your car on there website by entering the Vin. I would track the carman and see if your car pops up in there tracking system.

So called Genius today and it is “in transit” so MyGarage was more accurate then calling genius last week. It left last week on Antares Leader.

sounds like MyGarage can be more up to date then Genius. They should just give vessel info on the website.

So G80_253 you should be on there with me since you said yes changed last week as welll

Yeah I definitely didn't get on Antares. Fucking stupid how it's completely random. My car was there first, we have the same destination port, yet you guys get on ships before mine. I can't even understand the logic behind it.

Here's to hoping I get/got on Carmen... 😒😒

Me too. It just left like 30 minutes ago. If I missed this one I think I'll lose my sanity, as that means 4 West Coast bound ships came and went without me in the last week or so lol.
And I don't think another is due for another 2 weeks or so

If you somehow got on it, and I didn't, I think I'd fly to Germany myself and find someone to yell at 😂😂

Looks like the M3 folks got on ships for the West Coast. I'm a M4 like you that's been at Port since 6/15 so maybe the M3's have priority. It doesn't make sense. I'm going to be honest as I just don't have much patience these days. I'm already looking at used 911s. If BMW is going to do this stupid crap like others on here have experienced where their car sits at Port for weeks and weeks on end as others just simply get to port and hop on a ship... yeah sorry.. don't got the patience for that sh!t...

Yeah it's definitely annoying. Let's hope Carmen was the one who picked up all the M4 cars. If not, I don't even know how to respond to that. It would be absurd that 4 ships in a row would be for M3s only, and everyone with an M4 needs to go fuck themselves. I've been at port since 6/6.

What sucks even more is that I probably won't get my car in time for an event in early August that I was going to have my car be one of the show cars at. I was getting a wrap done for free and my car was gonna be put on display by the company. Now I might miss that because of this bullshit. Which means missing on a free $5000-$6000 wrap job, and getting tm car displayed. Ridiculous.

If I remember correctly, bother are made in Germany, but different factories. I'm pretty sure they go to the same port as well (both the port in Germany and the ones in the US). But it's possible the ships only take one or the other rather than a mix of both

Man... sorry if you miss out on the show and wrap job. I'm hoping you're on the Carmen which should make it to Port H by July 26th according to the schedule. That'd give you a shot at getting your ride for that show... Hope it works out for you!

Still shows at port, so I'm not very hopeful I got on Carmen either. This is fucking ridiculous. Next ships aren't for almost 2 weeks. And obviously absolutely zero guarantee I get on any of those either.

You will definitely be on one of those ships. I feel for those going to Texas that wait is crazy.

So thanks to kgelfen360 's research, the next possible ships for us are:


WW: July 7th (Theben), July 26th (Tannhauser)

NYK: July 5th (Centaurus Leader), July 7th (Demeter Leader), July 21st (Heritage Leader), July 20th (Gemini Leader), July 28th (Pleiades Leader)

M4nication , I wonder if the Port workers were racing our M4s and crashed them into each other... LOL

At this point dude, I might fucking believe it LMAO. Just our luck.

Let's hope one of those early July ships came grab us. If I can get on one of those, I MIGHT still be able to get that free wrap, as the event is August 17th-19th (I originally thought it was the 2nd for some reason).

By the way, said event is in California, if you're in the area, it would be cool if you could pull up, especially since our cars will probably be shipmates too LOL

With due respect to the Genius crew as they can only tell us what they know, they don't seem to know much so I highly doubt they'd be able to tell us what Port we are at. With that said even if we were at the other Zee port, the WW ships like the Carmen which left earlier this week stop there before going to Port Brem so either way we didn't get picked up..

Yea makes sense. It’s so strange how cars get picked up but certainly seems M4s got left behind as if they parked somewhere else.
Feel bad for u guys.
