Am I correct in thinking it should take a week to get from port to dealership?

Yup! You should have it this weekend or early next week

Dethsupp0rt · 04-07-2015, 12:39 PM

Looks like it's at the port. Should be unloading shortly.

My bet is Monday to our area - My CA says he needs a 1/2 day to get the car "ready"

What are your plans, if any, for the front license plate?

How much time did it take for you guys to be informed that your car made it to a vessel?

Did you guys know the name of the ship before it got to port?
or...
Did you guys find out a day later that your car had already made it on a ship?

Illinois is probably just as draconian about front plates, but I'm not putting one on. I don't park in the city, so I think I'll be fine.

I knew the day after. I just kept putting my VIN in 2wglobal's site until I saw it on the ship (which left the day before).

My CA actually contacted me yesterday saying my vehicle should be ready "in a couple of weeks".

The potential ship that i've been tracking (FEDORA) which is set to reach Los Angeles before any other ship left BREMERHAVEN 2 hours ago... Im not sure if my car made it on that ship and my CA says the status still shows arrived at port. You think they just haven't updated since it left only a couple hours ago?

It takes a day or so after it's on a ship before plugging in the VIN will show anything.

The first time I found out I was on a ship was when I called BMW NA.

Might want to try them tomorrow A.M.

I went to W&W's website and entered my VIN. It told me the vessel. From there I tracked the vessel on marine traffic.com

I will not be putting a front license plate on. On my E92 I did not have the front license plate and only ran into a problem once. I was at a gas station pumping gas and a cop walked up to me and asked me how I liked the car. I of course told him I loved it. He replied by saying that he loves towing cars that don't have a front license plate. He said he could do that because technically it didn't meet the state inspection codes. In my conversation with him I told him I had the plate but hadn't had a chance to secure it. After some talking back and forth he decided to "let me slide this time but I had to get it installed immediately." That was a little over 3 years ago. Haven't had an issue since. In fact, a majority of the high end cars around here don't have front plates.

Thanks, good info - Talked to my CA today and he estimated the vehicle would leave the VPC on Saturday and most likely be ready for p/u Monday - He said a slim chance for a Saturday p/u. Obviously nothing is done on Sunday.

This is info for vehicles heading to Passport in Maryland.

Picked her up on Saturday - Great day!
