I just learned that my 335xi is on the Fedora, currently docked at Southampton. Mine's being unloaded in Baltimore on the 19th. Anyone else on this ship?

Congrats! I bet the wait is killing you!!

At first I thought you were trying to start a fedora wearing trend (bad idea)...congrats

Fedora is just off the western edge of Nova Scotia now. Not much longer to wait!

Production ended 8/28. Odd though, CA told me my delivery may take 6-8 wks since its coming from SA plant (he actually said South America..huh??). But I type in my VIN in WWL site and it says built in Germany and on the Fedora. The BMW hotline still has me waiting at the port. Either my CA gave me the wrong VIN or he's just blowing me smoke...confused

Fedora just arrived at Virginia beach and has begun it's turn into Chesapeake bay.

got email from dealer saying my car (on Fedora) should arrive within a week! about time...

[MI335]

Fedora docked at Baltimore about an hour ago. Prep, truck, and dealer from here on out. I don't think there's a way to track a vehicle at the VDC or on a truck, so it's just waiting from here on out.

Sounds nice and loaded...only regret is not getting the entire tech package, just stand-alone navi so no HUD for me...the longer you wait for your car you sit around and obsess over the options/ packages you should of ordered lol. First bmw order for me, next time i wont have any regrets hopefully..enjoy the car

[MI335]

Thanks. I doubt you'll have regrets. My last BMW was a 330i which had very few options and I really enjoyed that car. The heart and soul of the car is its performance, the extras are nice to have, but slim and sleek is awesome too and many choose to keep their car focused on the driving experience.

My convertible is on the Fedora headed for the canal on June 17th and Port Hueneme on June 26th. Can't wait, but have to. Hoping for early July delivery.

It seems like it should be at the canal by early tomorrow morning unless it seriously slows down.

Thanks. It must be making good time. Its scheduled ETA was the 17th and Port Hueneme the 26th. Do you have more current info?

Nope.. According to WW those are still the ETA dates, but Marinetraffic.com showed the ship just south of the Dominican Republic 10 hours ago (so approx 180 miles closer to Panama right now). I can't imagine it taking more than 24 more hours to reach Panama.

By my calculations, even at 17 kts she's still early morning on the 17th PST and very close to the ETA of 1000 UTC on the 17th. Maybe my math is off. We will see. My main concern is the car clearing and getting out of Port Hueneme quickly and to the dealer.
