Woohoo! Man I hope it doesn't take long to truck it on up here after it hits the port.

Not on the Don Carlos but the Toscana which arrived yesterday. BMW Genius told me my car will be ready by Aug 5th.

My car is on the ship. It's finally on it's way to the Panama Canal. It seemed like it was going from port to port in Europe Foreverrr.

You lucky dog, won't be long now. Yeah, every day I would check the boat's position and say, 'Another Port!?'

What part of NorCal are you in? I'm in the Sac area.

Southern Humboldt Co. I am expecting to have a lot of fun driving this car on all of our twisty well paved roads

When my CA took me up to see my F82 M4 ZCP, it couldn't have been more perfect.

Looking up videos and pictures online for the past two months while I patiently waited for my vehicle... and when I finally laid eyes on it, it looked even better in real life.

These are just cellphone pictures, I will try to upload better ones later.

Excited for you! Looks really good.

So you aren't on the Don Carlos? Or are you.... #specialtreatment?

Vegetable · 08-09-2018, 11:27 PM

For those of you not keeping a close eye on the Don Carlos, it is currently leaving port and ready to enter the locks through the Panama Canal.

Due to arrive in SO. Cal on the 18th.

I caught it passing through the Gatun locks on the Panama Canal webcam this morning. If you watch it on MarineTraffic (there is an app) you can time it right with the webcams. Currently, only the two high resolution cameras are up - one at Gatun on the Atlantic side and one at Miraflores on the Pacific side. I am going to try and catch her near the exit side later at Mireflores. (I do have a life.)

Anyway, here is a screen shot when I barely caught it passing through Gatun at 7:20 AM PST this morning.

kamichael · 08-10-2018, 09:50 AM

BTW - here is the Panama Canal webcam site. As I mentioned, only two have been up in recent days. You might catch the Don exiting Miraflores soon. She is due to arrive at Port Hueneme (Oxnard, CA) on 8/18/18.

In Lago Gatun after exiting the Gatun locks.

kamichael · 08-10-2018, 02:18 PM

Approaching Miraflores locks.

kamichael · 08-10-2018, 03:06 PM

Here she comes! The Don Carlos coming up on Miraflores, on her way into the Pacific.

kamichael · 08-10-2018, 04:04 PM

The Don in the last lock at Miraflores.

Mine was on the Don Juan and got to LA on July 19th. I'm just getting delivery tomorrow, more than 3 weeks later. Let's hope you all get it a little quicker!

Wow, that was a long delay. In my experience on past orders my cars have all been delivered within a week following arrival at BMW's VPC in Oxnard.
