Dang, that's awesome! Think I'm running ~3 weeks behind you but my car is still sitting at the port in Germany waiting to cross the pond.

Woke up this morning to find my status moved to "In Transit"!

I'll find out later today if it's the Elektra leaving today or the Boheme leaving tomorrow. One of my previous M5s rode on the Elektra which would be nostalgic!

If it says in transit and it just updated it left 2 days ago on whatever ship left 2 days ago lol. So I'm betting you're on arc defender also elektra doesn't go to the usa currently it just floats around Europe and some parts of westernAsia.

Thanks, but my car shouldn't be on the Arc Defender because it isn't stopping at the NJ VPC. For some reason none of the American Ro-Ro ships arrive at NJ, they all got to Baltimore, Charleston and Brunswick on the east coast. The WW website shows the Elektra leaving today with an ETA at NJ VPC of March 6th. I couldn't find any of the other Ro-Ro operators with a ship leaving Bremerhaven and making NJ.

Just confirmed with BMW it's on the Elektra. Schedule to arrive at the NJ VPC March 6th!

Hey, better three days late and still floating than the alternative! I was just talking to a salesman from the local VW dealership and he lost four customer cars on the Felicity Ace. Their affiliated Porsche dealership lost 22 customer cars.

Yeah... what sucks is at that volume of cars it's hard to "make things right" too.... like with me when bmw crashed my car at the vpc it's 1 car they can expedite the next one and get it out to me in 2-3 months and just bring an allocation to the front of the queue to make things right... that hard with hundreds, thousands of cars... and honestly it's not even their fault lol in my case bmw was 100% at fault so they fixed the situation in a fire that caused a whole ship to burn to the ground I honestly wouldn't even expect them to try to do anything except maybe give those dealerships extra allocations at the end of the MY if they can even do that.

Yes, it's going to be interesting to see how each brand deals with this. I agree, I can't see how Porsche can make accommodations for 1,100 cars lost.

I have no idea if this is true, as it's not been in any of the articles, but my BMW CA told me he heard there were three Bugatti Chirons on the boat as well.

My week 6 build just made it to port today, it'll be Texas bound as well. Hopefully yours is next up in line to get on a ship, and hopefully mine isn't far behind.

That is wild. Congratulations though man. I contacted everyone under the sun still no answers as to why my car is stuck at the factory. They're claiming open issues however I know for a fact RAM issues get resolved stateside.

Not always... some ram issues got resolved in Germany though its rare. Could just be the car got damaged as they were loading it up on the train or moving it around? The only person that would have that info would be your dealership since they're the only ones they tell stuff like that to.

Called the dealer, no damage they're in the dark too. Honestly at this point I'd be surprised if anyone has an answer for me. They bumped up my case to the executive care team so we shall see. Should be getting a call tomorrow.

Expected delivery today but updated Brunswick Vehicle Processing Center showed on carrier yesterday and delivery to dealer tomorrow. So waiting and going to pick up Monday as weekend will be out of town at Lights Out 13 race at SGMP. Still feeling lucky and excited to get this car. Pic from dealer
