Thanks! When I call the automated system, it still says my car is at the port waiting for a vessel. What does the automated phone system say about your car now? Thanks.

It says the exact same as yours. I pressed 0 and spoke to a person (on two separate occasions for consistency) and they each told me the same ship name and same ETA. Im trying to get a hold of the dealer now.

Me too, happiest news of the month!!!

Just learned I am on the Georgia Highway, scheduled to make port in Brunswick, GA on July 17.

jc05e46m3 · 07-07-2014, 07:29 PM

Call 1-800-831-1117...as soon as you hear a voice, press 2
as soon as you hear another voice, punch in your prod. #
as soon as you hear another voice, press 1.
(that will let you bypass hearing all the dumb automated crap)

Then listen to the next message in its entirety, and if you want the most up-to-date info, press 0 and talk to a real human!

Good luck!

I knew that BMW uses nyk line to ship vehicle.
However, it was very hard if not impossible to track nyk vehicle carrier on the site.
Their ship scheduler only showed cargo ships but not the vehicle carrier.
That's why I gave up trying to look for nyk ships.

Shit, did the Torrens already leave the port? According to the 1-800# I'm still at the port awaiting shipping vessel. I think my M4 missed that boat.

It leaves today, the 8th and I don't see my VIN listed on the boat yet. Been sitting on the docks for 5 days and it's maddening. Although I realize some have been there for 3 weeks, my 5 days have been hell.

Yea I know that but it seems like all of this came outta the blue for you guys?

We're you all at port waiting and this ship just showed up!

We just got lucky! It WAS out of the blue!

Referenced your initial post though for us and again, thanks for the good vibes. Sending some more your way.

Seems like a good amount of the ED group will be on Elektra. Hopefully they can get it from CA to Denver for you within a day or two.

Wait is already driving me crazy

Do you mind sharing when your car was completed production and how long until released to carrier?
Mines done with production yesterday and its now dispatched to the carrier when i talked to the representative an hour ago so im hoping to be on this vessel as well.

Mine is on Carmen, but I don't know how to properly track it.

I went on marine traffic and the only one I found that made sense was the one in the celtic sea...

Week 24 production week. Began June 6th. Completed June 16th. Arrived at Port June 18th. Sat there until July 1st and got shipped. Estimated Arrival in CA 07/25.
