So my M3 ZCP (Mineral White/Cohiba Brown) is finished and was in port awaiting vessel (193) last Thursday or Friday (March 15th or 16th). All the M3s I have seen at my dealer and other dealers in the area have a Port of Entry of Baltimore so I assume mine will also be Baltimore (car was ordered from Zach @ Dreyer & Reinbold of Indianapolis).

After exploring schedules on all of the carrier websites, I believe my car will end up on a W&W vessel, most likely the THEMIS which departed Bremerhaven earlier today and will arrive in Baltimore on the 2nd of April. All the other companies don't have ships going to Baltimore leaving Bremerhaven until the 25th or early next week. I have a question for those whose vehicles have shipped via a W&W vessel...

In the original post in the *guide to tracking thread* he said on the W&W tracking website to enter the VIN in the "Cargo ID" field. But on the W&W website there is only Bill of Laiding number, Booking Number, and Customer Reference Number... Which of these is the correct one to use? So far my car isn't in the system yet and BMW Genius still has it in Port... So I'm hoping it made it out today or does on the next boat, which is the Parsifal, also a W&W vessel.

Also generally, how long did the cars of those of you in this thread whose cars are already on their way to an East Coast port, wait in Bremerhaven before it was on a ship?

Thanks to anyone who can give clarification, I'm anxiously awaiting my childhood dream to come true here

The NJ BMW CCA is doing a tour of the Port Newark VDC on Saturday March 24th. I will be on the lookout for any M3s being offloaded or in process in the Facility, especially my Alpine White one with Carbonstructure seats. (if the ship has arrived by then given this weather) They prioritize customer ordered cars over dealer inventory and try to get the customer cars out ASAP.

I'd say we've been pretty fortunate thus far.

1- as far as we know, all of our cars made it safely aboard
2- no ones car was damaged in transit so far
3- The time since builds started (or at least mine) is significantly less than expected (I'm looking 1-2 weeks forward of original est.)

Good news and bad news... the ship arrives today in CA... but Genius update is that NJ port arrival is delayed until the 25th (Sunday)- no idea why, but that's that.

Thanks for keeping us posted!
Wonder if the wait from CA to NJ has something to do with this $h*ty weather we are getting now in the tristate area. Either way boyz we are almost there, cheers!

Yeah I'm a pretty detail oriented person

But owning an M3 has been a dream of mine since before I was old enough to hold a drivers license, so for me the ordering/tracking process has been like 15+ years in the making, and the reality of the dream coming true is making me a bit... Obsessive

The fact that I also worked at a job that heavily involved international shipping logistics for 5 years doesn't help matters either
