Watch your wheels when disembarking. And post a timeline of how long it takes to get through the VPC and delivery processes. Oh, and pics when they're available, for sure.

Congrats on your new arrivals, guys!

Hopefully they did! Car was offloaded at 1:44 this afternoon; I'll keep you up to date as it moves through the process.

EDIT: Here's the latest W&W status. I've read conflicting reports as to what "customs release" and "liner release" mean, but at a minimum it seems that my car is off the boat.

Having both liner and customs release on day 1 is awesome -- congrats!

GP is scheduled to depart MD today (Nov 1) so hopefully all cars are unloaded within the next few hours and she heads south to the next stop.

having liner release typically means the freight and the bill of lading have both been taken cared of so the vessel operator can release the cargo

it is different than a customs release

stevenvillatoro · 11-01-2017, 06:39 PM

This may be common knowledge, but customer-configured cars typically have been prioritized to get pushed through the VPC ahead of those destined for dealer stock. And even better if your new car won't need port-installed equipment.

candidgoat You didn't do ED? Thats why your vehicle was released electronically at sea. It's cool that East and West coasters are on the same boat. Enjoying following this post as I have an attachment to kechang M4 since we shared ED Welt and Frankfurt drop-off together

Roadkiller · 11-01-2017, 07:52 PM

Website shows Pavo has completed MD and is on the move.

I did ED, actually (proof attached!) - that's why I'm not sure whether I'm actually through customs or not.

You know that you can track the car via the ConnectedDrive app? Your lucky being on a W&W as I was on a K line boat, just unloaded on Monday in Brunswick, but no online tracking info like W&W??

stevenvillatoro · 11-01-2017, 10:00 PM

Actual departure from Baltimore was about 20 minutes ago. Travel time to Savannah should be ~28 hours, arriving at about 4 AM (EST) on November 3. Calm seas ahead!.

candidgoat · 11-02-2017, 10:27 AM

Today's update below. Looks like the car was released to VPC? Hopefully it won't take too long to get processed through.

Congrats!! That was quick!! Linear release occurs after Customs release via Woodcliff Lake, NJ. (just reviewed my 2014 ED posts from Bimmerfest when I was on a W&W boat). Your down the home stretch!!!!

This is a great idea, but I forgot to turn on the GPS tracking!

That said, they're doing something with the car because the mileage went up today...

DandyDan · 11-02-2017, 02:45 PM

I Was attempting to attach my tracking info too, but apparently I missed that class and I am having a difficult time. Anyway, I didn't see a customs release on mine, so I called the BMW Genius line. I did clear customs and I was transported over to the VPC today. Should ship out Sunday and be at my dealer on Tuesday.

Nice! I just called and they said mine is estimated to ship out on Sunday as well. Thanks for the tip!

stevenvillatoro · 11-03-2017, 12:46 AM

How many of us are still on board after Baltimore?

Not sure if y'all have your own tracking abilities, or whether to continue posting thread screenshots and updates of Pavo's pilgrimage to the Left Coast.

We're just a few hours from the Savannah port, and now less than two weeks to California.

Guess it's just you and me. Here's the Savannah port layout, where we arrived earlier today. Don't stray far from the ship, since we won't be here long.

I'm at the last stop

Hey there new member here. My SO M3 is aboard the Grand Pavo all the way to Cali. Also, just found out were getting a $2k holiday rebate! The wait is killing me!

Lbakken · 11-04-2017, 10:30 AM

Looks like she is in the second moorage position on the LH side. Does anyone know what time she is scheduled to sail?
