All Aboard: Columbia Highway Tracking Thread (1/20/16 Bremerhaven Departure)

kromix · 01-21-2016, 10:01 AM

Just got notice I am on the Columbia Highway...

Anyone else on the boat with me?

Starting this tracking thread if anyone is on the same boat and wants to join the stalking fun.

Ship Name: Columbia Highway
Shipping Company: KLine
Days in Transit: 15
Call Sign: 3EQO8
Year Built: 2008
Flag: Panama

Schedule

1/20/2016 : Bremerhaven - Departure
1/22/2016 : Southampton
2/01/2016 : Baltimore
2/04/2016 : Brunswick, GA - Arrival at VPC

Happy I'm on this boat, less online tracking like W&W Boats but faster route to the VPC only 15 days to Georgia!

kromix · 01-22-2016, 07:23 AM

Boat has arrived at Southampton, next port of call: Baltimore!

So no-one on here with me??!

Dude, you gotta get the MPPK/MPE installed at the VPC... http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1217689

Please get it, it's probably not too late to add it if it's available!!!

That guy is in Europe though, I don't think it's available in the US... Calling my CA to confirm

Apologies if this has been discussed before but how do you find out which boat you are on?

You can ask your CA or you can ask the BMW Genius Hotline with a production # and they can look it up.

you can also try plugging in your full VIN into the W&W Site ( if it's on a W&W boat it'll show up there

Just talked to the BMW hotline folks and I'm on the Columbia Highway as well! Lands in Charleston on the 6th.

Nice!! Welcome aboard!

Weird it goes from Baltimore, to Georgia and then to Charleston after...

BK_BMW · 01-22-2016, 12:50 PM

I thought so too. I wonder if it has to do with the weight of the boat. Charleston harbor may not be able to handle the draught?? Totally a guess though.

bimmernole · 01-22-2016, 02:35 PM

Looks like I'm on Columbia Highway as well!

Awesome we are both in route to the same VDC.... Brunswick, Georgia.

Question, who gave you the estimated date of Feb 10th? The dealer or BMW Genius?

bimmernole · 01-22-2016, 03:22 PM

My dealer told me the estimated date for Port arrival was Feb 3rd and the estimated date for arrival at the dealership was Feb 10th.

Awesome thanks! Trying to gauge my timeline. Mine is going to the Pembroke Pines dealership in Broward , so pretty close.. Since we are on the same boat mine should be estimated around the 10th also, thanks!!

bimmernole · 01-23-2016, 02:09 PM

Definitely, sounds like they will be on the same truck over. Overall I'm happy and impressed with the time it took. If it wasn't for the holiday break we would have a shorter timeline.

Yup! That Christmas break was brutal for times

Should be here soon, we're officially in the atlantic right now!

kromix · 01-25-2016, 09:16 PM

Hi all, the countdown begins..... Someone tell the Cap to increase speed to 25knots!

Here is the latest update since I have access to S-AIS Satellite Tracking...

It's currently in the Atlantic by the Azores.

bimmernole · 01-26-2016, 08:37 AM

Getting closer one nautical mile at a time..

kromix · 01-28-2016, 01:16 PM

It's halfway through the Atlantic, almost in the Sargasso Sea.... Inching its way over at 18 knots.

bimmernole · 01-28-2016, 03:45 PM

Any idea how many miles the cars usually come with?
