Finally a way for Canadians to track their cars
After no help from dealership, no help from BMW Canada, no help using the US BMW customer service phone numbers or websites I finally found a way to track my car.
I called Wallenius Wilhelmsen directly on their Canadian support phone number +1 201 505 4000. Told them the VIN and they confirmed the car is on the Glovis Companion, arriving September 25th at 8AM.

I live in Toronto and like you having trouble getting help from dealership and BMW Canada. I called Wallenius Wilhelmsen directly per your information. They asked me for a bill of lading number before they can search by VIN number. I was wondering if you have the bill of lading number. I suspect my 2019 M5 is in the same boat as yours.

I didn't have a bill of lading number but the dealer was able to find out what boat it's on. Then I called WW with the VIN and boat name.
Mines on the Glovis Companion. The bill of lading # is ACX83801 Put that in the WW website and you can see if it's on the boat

Thank you. I went through all the vin numbers and mine wasn’t there. However, my dealer sent me a screenshot of their system showing my vehicle departed on the 14th of sept and is due to arrive in Halifax same day as yours on the 25th. I don’t know why I can’t see my vin number under this bill of lading. It doesn’t seem that there was another boat that departed on the 14th.

Yes I couldn't find mine on the list either. Then I called WW and talked to an actual human. She was able to search with the last 7 digits of the VIN and confirmed it's on board.

So our vehicles arrived this morning I suppose. I assume you already located your vehicle since you are there. If yes, congrats.
Just wondering if you are still offering to send pics of members vehicles at the port? No worries if you can’t do it anymore. |

I will if I can. I have a friend that works at the Autoport. If he has time he can try take one. Couldn't get one of mine today. Hopefully tomorrow. DM me a VIN if you'd like me to ask

Are you guys leasing or buying your m5?
I'm trying to lease but 2019 competition residual is 51%. Car with premium package and advanced package alone is going for $2490/m on 36 months- 24k mileage per year. Is this normal or are these prices steep? Just curious. |
