Anyone else on Columbia Highway 10/9 departure date?

I just found out my car left on this vessel yesterday and should reach Brunswick on October 22nd!

When was your car completed and when did it arrive at the port ? Car has been waiting at port since 10/2 and completed on 9/29. A few of us are anxiously awaiting a vessel.

Just called BMW NA and still waiting at port

Congrats to you!

My car was completed on 10/1 and has been at the port ever since until last night. Are you on the east coast also? I'm based in South Florida. Hope you're already on the same or another vessel now!

Hey bud,
My tracker and the automated BMW NA line are not updated either, but the customer relations person I spoke with literally just received my new info when I called a short while ago. Fingers crossed!

I'm not on this ship. I'm not at the port. 800 nor my CA can give me any details on whats up. Completed prod 9/23 no updates since. My CA just said 'something is fishy with M3 delivery'. And guessed right that Fortress is an M4. I don't know but I'm beyond frustrated at this point lol.

And now sound like a whiner to boot.

Hmm, strange. What would make the M3 any different from the M4 in terms of getting on the vessel? Do you think some update is being performed on M3s?

I have no idea. The key thing to me is that I'm still 181. Which means to BMW that I'm not even at the port yet. Most are at the port within a day of going 181 even if they wait a while to ship. It's whacky.

Called back and got an update

Finally on a vessel - confirmed that i'm on the WW Resolve with an estimated port date of 10/21 in Baltimore, MD.

Amen - now we need to get some positive energy to DMK08 - his car was produced before both of ours - hopefully they give him a straight story ASAP!!!

We are all pulling for you!

Kooter too. We both finished the same day going to same dealer. Both stuck in same funky state.

I'm on the phone now being passed up to a BMW NA 'Resolution Specialist' because the original agent agree's something isn't kosher.

And congrats ckortane. Lucky SOB lol

Apparently 9/23 is a bad day for completing production. Grats to everyone on this boat, I'm considering cancelling my order and getting trashed with the money I put down for deposit. The way things are going DMK and I won't see our cars until mid January.

This ship is supposed to be in Baltimore today, but marinetraffic.com isn't showing current position right now because the ship is out of range of gps. Anyone have access to the satellite feed?
