We have exactly the same spec

zkeeper · 10-12-2016, 04:17 PM

Am on same ship....I had a post further down regarding same re: Good ship of Hope...LOL, but no one responded.

You mentioned California? POA is Baltimore--so it's only 2-3 more days for you to get delivery than the trucks coming to my Midwest area.

Was told by BMW corp, that if...if the diff was to be replaced, then it would be done in Balt, instead of being sent on to dealer, only to be dealt with later.

Time will tell now if we get held up in port a bit.

Mine -- AW, DCT, exec.pkg. Headed for the Midwest.

Congrats to all of you getting cars soon!

drewF87 · 10-13-2016, 04:20 PM

I'm on there as well!

jiaming927 · 10-13-2016, 04:25 PM

Haha you didn't follow the naming convention

I thought the boat also goes to California. The ETA on the website is 11/05.
Please don't get held up, I am so ready for my 11/15(ish) delivery...

I think if we all call Wallenius Wilhelmsen reminding them of the importance of the cargo and delivery schedule it should be enough to keep the vessel on target...

zkeeper · 10-20-2016, 03:41 PM

The "Thermo-baby" just made her turn north for the Chesapeake Bay area....stand by, and getting ready to watch her dock up.

Not long now...

Unless they wait for the LSD change update. It will be done in Baltimore, before heading to dealer now--or was told same by BMWNA.

jiaming927 · 10-20-2016, 06:27 PM

LOL I was just about to update this thread and you beat me.
I am not sure how this works though, the website says my "cargo" has an ETA of 11/06 to PORT HUENEME, CA. But it's already in east coast now!

zkeeper · 10-21-2016, 07:40 PM

Well the Thermo-Baby is well on her way and right now tonight, 8:30pm EST she is half way down the Chesie Bay on her way west for you guys out there.

Thot I would check in and see it all roll on. Amazing fun for us all.

My AW got off loaded, and is sitting now on dock at BMW waiting Monday morning and her further assignments...

Been thru this before, so now it's another wait game. BUT that's perfectly lovely with me and am chuffed.

Bests to you all out there in the west.

asmith918 · 10-24-2016, 07:48 AM

Any updates with the east coast deliveries? I see she left Georgia earlier this morning and is headed for the Panama Canal!

zkeeper · 10-27-2016, 02:46 PM

Don't have an update on Panama Canal...but just to say, mine got into Balt last Friday, cleared customs on Sat, assigned carrier Monday, loaded Tuesday and it arrived just two hours ago here in St.Louis area Illinois side.

Just thoroughly satisfied even all wrapped up in plastic. Will go back and sign for this afternoon. Good luck with your western deliveries.

jiaming927 · 10-27-2016, 04:27 PM

Nice!! 2 weeks more for me, can't wait

drewF87 · 11-02-2016, 04:21 PM

Mine was offloaded at Baltimore on 10/24 according to WW's website but dealer is saying it's arriving at the port tomorrow, 11/2. What gives? Anyone else on the east coast receive theirs yet?
