I'm hoping to get on the 12/29 ship to Galveston as I'm pretty sure I missed the 12/8 one. I did PCD for my '23 M3 and that went flawlessly through Brunswick, but this time I opted for DFW delivery (Sewell Grapevine) and might have to wait at the port for a while. I'm picking up a 6MT M3 in Anglesey Green with Silverstone and carbon buckets.

Hawaiian Highway Update - Winds have been more favorable over the last few days and they've been making tracks. The reported arrival time has slipped by two hours since departing Zeebrugge, but they're still trending to an on-time arrival to Brunswick.

Even with the later arrival time to Brunswick, my BoL tracking is showing an earlier arrival to Galveston than originally published. Current estimated arrival to Galveston is 19 Dec 18:00, up from 20 Dec 21:00.

Was anyone else on Hamburg Highway? Saw it reached port yesterday. Excited but also wondering how long until it moves to in transit to the dealer now.

I mentioned this in another thread, but anywhere from 2days to 2weeks.

Hawaiian Highway Update

Less than two days out of Brunswick and making good speed in spite of winds shifting ahead. Currently showing ahead of reported schedule into Brunswick by a few hours, but this can change very quickly depending on weather. Winds should be less impactful over the last day of travel once HH clears a small line of rain just to the west of Bermuda.

My BoL tracker shows an updated arrival into Galveston of 20 Dec 02:00, back from the last estimate of 19 Dec 18:00. I'll continue to update every few days as HH stops in Brunswick and continues on to Galveston.

Cool, it flipped to in transit again this time to the dealership so I guess I got lucky by being on the 2 day side of the spectrum for being at the port of entry.

Just for giggles finally she is in my grubby little hands after PPF and tint.

Good luck to all the others waiting. It seems like forever but when you get them it is almost all forgotten 😀!

Just FYI, in case you’re not aware of this schedule, you can look at the Brunswick schedule for the port. When my car was on the Sirius highway. It made it a day before and it anchored outside Brunswick. it then waited and made it into port at 7 AM the next morning and made the way in to unload.

So it's only stopping for 5 hours? 🤔

Looks that way, ya. She arrived a couple hours ago, so we'll see soon enough what the actual schedule will be. My BoL still shows 20 Dec 02:00 into Galveston.

Hawaiian Highway Update

Ship destination has been updated in Vessel finder, now showing Galveston with an ETA of 19 Dec 03:00. Tugs are moving to the roro terminals, so I'd expect her to start moving shortly. My BoL tracking still shows an estimated arrival of 20 Dec 02:00. Hopefully it's closer to the reported ETA than the tracking ETA.

Hawaiian Highway Update

As GAM3OVR posted, we're getting closer! She should be rounding Key West today and heading into the Gulf proper. I don't see anything significant weather-wise in the Gulf that should interfere, so far.

Looking ahead to arrival, I may have found why my BoL eta bounced back and forth before settling on Dec 20. BMW offloads cars at pier 10 next to their VDC, and this pier is also used as a cruise terminal for Royal Caribbean. While HH's scheduled arrival is listed as 19 Dec 03:00, RC's Mariner of the Seas is due to be at dock from 7am-4pm that same day.

KLine's original schedule had a 2 day stay listed for Hawaiian Highway in Galveston; I'm not sure if this will remain or if it will get compressed due to the added stop in Brunswick. If they keep the 2 day layover, I expect HH to hold in the parking lots just outside of Galveston Bay and wait for Mariner to depart before moving in. If KLine has compressed their schedule, it remains to be seen if HH can make up enough time in transit over the next 2 days to get in, offload, and get out before Mariner returns on Dec 19.

Either way, we're in the home stretch! Also, here's a link to the Galveston harbor webcam that looks out over Pier 10.
