540i is on the Boat

Dialed the BMW USA number for tracking, and today its status changed to "In Transit" from "At Port of Exit". Followed the links on this forum to find the boat - one leaving Bremerhaven with Port Hueneme, CA as a Port of Call. Here it is;

Congrats I just placed my order yesterday, curious how long it took from your order day to in transit.

Five weeks (35 days) from order to arrival at port of exit. Four days after that it was on the boat departing.

The map and boat info are part of the MarineTraffic app - highly recommended.

My G30 Tracking

Only thing that sucks about that site and most others that I've found is the updates stop once it gets away from land. Today is the 20th and the last update for my ship was the 16th. You can get more updates via their satellite subscription but those are costly ($157/yr).

I'm just gonna have to wait for it to hit the Panama Canal for my next update.
