G8x on the boat?

rak299 · 03-30-2021, 11:57 PM

4/22 is right. NYK is a few days shorter than WWL (no stop in Baltimore)

Wohoo

Mine is also on the Aphrodite Leader. Status on marinetraffic shows it's docking in S.C. 3/31. Just curious if it'll be driven cross country to California or will continue boating thru Panama to Port Hueneme.

Mine is waiting for a boat right now - what's the consensus on travel time to the East Coast?

If so, how has the wait been going?

Mine is on the boat. How are you finding out ETA?

You can call or email BMW Genius or your sales guy/gal can check into it.

Through the canal. This is more than half of the total elapsed time.

finally car is "in transit" -- On SIRIUS HIGHWAY and expected date to port in Brunswick, GA is 4/16

now the patient waiting starts to hopefully get in my hands before 4/24 (my 0.9% 60-day approval ends on that date)

How long was it at the port? Mine is at 7 days now.

m20e3087 · 03-31-2021, 02:35 PM

Mine was supposed to arrive at port on 4/4, but now it's saying 4/10

Super pissed. After the 12th I will be traveling and most likely won't be able to pickup until end of the month or next month.

However BMW G is still telling me 4/4.

Ugh. That's not going to go well for my 10 times a day checking the website.

Hopefully mine will go on the same ship as yours and my wait will be effectively a week less than yours since you have already been waiting for a ship.

Where is the info that says the arrival date? Is that on a BMW site or the shipping site?

Shipping site, once you know know your ship name you can track it.

West coast, Central, and South America deliveries.

For east coast, it looks like the next batch of ships from other carriers are heading to New York and Baltimore starting April 7th. So if the car is not onboard or being loaded, it's another week of waiting.

Not sure if any cars are on this carrier, but they offer a VIN search in the drop down -

Yup mine is on the same boat. I just want the car already.

I'm jealous of all of you and your big boats. I'm just glad there is no canal between Germany and me for my shift to eventually get stuck in.

I am also on the Niagara Highway awaiting my M2 Comp, and it's been an incredibly frustrating couple of days. As you can see, the ship is barely a hundred nautical miles off the coast of Virginia en route to its first US port of call at Baltimore, and yet the estimated ETA is still April 5. A ship would usually take a little over a day to cover the remaining distance, so the only explanation for this delay is that Baltimore has a backlog of ships and can't receive the Niagara until the 5th.

I am thinking all the large ports are backlogged due to the ship being stuck in Egypt.

Congrats on your M2C!

LuckyBrand · 04-01-2021, 12:52 PM

Yeah my car is on the way to the port as well. Feels like an empty time lol as it seams to be a helpless time in the process for us. Seams every step we take positive there's another step that adds to the stress of waiting. Were all gaining on the process but waiting is not fun!

Car was at the port for roughly a week (9 days to be exact).

Mine went 190 on April 1. How long do you think it will take to get to Halifax?
