Finally my car has finished production !!! Just waiting for which vessel it will be on to be on route to the US!!!

///M/// · 11-10-2014, 12:17 PM

Congrats. Your build looks identical to what I have planned for 2016 except I am undecided between a Manual and DCT

My car is at a US port...I know the feeling. Congrats on the ride.

Kenny,

Mine is right there with yours! It arrived there this morning per the BMW phone support. They did not have any boat information as of yet. I am really excited to get this baby over here. Hopefully they will be on the same ship together real soon!

Not to thread Jack (congrats btw) but is it normal for it to show wrong configuration when it first gets uploaded on that website (pre-production)

Mine shows wrong options

My dealer had an allocation that I took over. For about the first week it showed a YMB M4. After the order solidified (went to status 112) the pic of the car changed and it had my car pictured. The full list of options didn't show up until it went into production (and they were correct).

I did see another thread that the guys CA messed up the order but ended up getting things fixed by ordering 2 cars. I would ask your CA for the build sheet for your car and you can verify the options you want and order are on there. My CA emailed it over from his office, shouldn't be a problem for them.

That was me. If there is a discrepancy, definitely check with your CA. It could just be the website being out of synch with your order, but better to be safe than sorry.

Back on topic, my car also finished production today! Well, my "temporary car for an ED" that is...

991brothers · 11-10-2014, 03:51 PM

Wow we are almost the same exact build cept mine will be DCT!

Congrats Op. How long is the wait now?

BKMK5 · 11-10-2014, 04:03 PM

It is funny how you instantly become proficient in tracking down boats and charting boats ports and speed the second your car finishes production! Ohhh the anxiety!

chiplee · 11-10-2014, 04:16 PM

We may all be "in the same boat" both literally and figuratively.

Yes that is normal. Just tracked two different 2015 builds and they both had issues at first. Everything updated eventually, but still check with your CA to ensure the order is in right.

mikeyr0x · 11-10-2014, 05:04 PM

Now comes the real fun...
Tracking the ship with the marinetraffic app.

Enjoy guys, almost there.

Awesome! Congrats. Hopefully one of us is smart on this whole boat tracking thing. I tried to piece it together from the sticky on this site but couldn't really tell what I was seeing. I'm starting to think most of us won't share a boat over judging by everyone's location.

I think I was able to confirm there is really only one origin/destination combo servicing shipments from Germany to the west coast of the U.S. and that is Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme.

If I'm correct then this is the earliest departure.

-The UNDINE is Departing BREMERHAVEN on 15/11/2014 for arrival at PORT HUENEME, CA on 10/12/2014. Voyage number is CD446-UND with 25 Days in transit. This is the "Undine" they're talking about. There are about 20 boats with that name, 3 of which look like they might be the one, but this is the only one that's been doing the Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme route. http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/phot...ip_name:UNDINE

If it's full the next rides will be as follows.

- BREMERHAVEN 22/11/2014 to PORT HUENEME, CA 17/12/2014 MIGNON CX447-MIG

-BREMERHAVEN 30/11/2014 to PORT HUENEME, CA 25/12/2014 ASIAN KING CD448-ASK

-BREMERHAVEN 13/12/2014 to PORT HUENEME, CA 07/01/2015 BOHEME CD450-BOH

-BREMERHAVEN 27/12/2014 to PORT HUENEME, CA 21/01/2015 AIDA CD452-ADA

I will get it figured out and pay for the extra tracking if they have it and keep us all updated.

My build sheet port location shows BALPOA, which I am guessing is Baltimore. I guess it continues on to CA from there?

KennyM340ISouthFLA. · 11-10-2014, 09:04 PM

Thanks guys!!!!!! I hope a lot of cars are on the next vessel to the Us. They built my car fast. The car hit production around oct 30th. I guess that's fast. This is new to me. This is the first bmw I ever ordered. I had many bmws, but usually pick one out at the dealer. I jut got rid of a 2014 f10 , I don't even miss my m5. So much more excited for the m4. Anyway, I wish everybody who is waiting good luck , and current m4 owners enjoy!!!!! When we start getting are cars. POST PICS!!!!!!!!!!

KennyM340ISouthFLA. · 11-10-2014, 09:09 PM

Tim. We basically have identical cars. Hopefully they will both be on the same vessel. Get those baby's quick. I'm sick of driving my x5.
