My e90 MSport is on that ship!

[aniv]

Great!!!

Dealer said car should be ready for delivery by mid May ( +- 7 days from the date the Ship arrives at the US Port).

[kootz]

Yup, that's what mine said also. I'm in Tokyo 15th-23 so timing is bad, guess I have to wait another week. Mine is a e90 335i LeMans Blue MSport. What did you order?

[aniv]

1 week won't be that bad considering you are in Tokyo I like the LeMans Blue but had to stick with a shade of black as usual.

This is what I ordered:

2011 BMW 335d

Black Sapphire Metallic
Black Dakota Leather
Brushed Aluminum Trim
Heated Front Seats
Premium Package
M Sports Package
Comfort Access Keyless Entry
Navigation System
Smartphone Integration
Ipod and USB Adapter
Premium Hi-Fi System
Sirius Satellite Radio
Anti Theft Alarm

My MSport E91 is also apparently on that too however my dealer provided a snapshot by email of his online inventory tracking which suggests it arrives in Brunswick on 06-03-2010!! Definitely same current voyage as you indicate above re last pos./port etc. This did seem way off to me and I wonder if in fact that he has a typo in his system and that your 05-03-2010 arrival is the correct date - live in hope!

[aniv]

I just called the dealer to verify the June date you mentioned and the CA is baffled too as he has the June 3rd date too. Seems to be a typo from whoever put the itinerary information in the system. I will reply with an update once I get verification from the shipping company.

[aniv]

I just called K Line America (the shipping logistics company for this vessel) and they confirmed it will be at Brunswick on the 3rd of May '10.

Attached shipping schedule from K Line America along with Customer Service contact # highlighted in Yellow on the contacts list tab.

[ciaranob]

Aniv - you're the man! Was considering calling the K-Line folk too but you beat me to it - great news re confirmed May 3rd - was really ticked when I first heard the June date,
Cheers, C.

[ciaranob]

Found another confirmation btw at:
http://www.jocsailings.com/future-ar...sults/?pid=784
One I had not seen listed in the numerous tracking info lists on the forums. Lists port arrivals and includes Curitiba as arriving May 3rd.
Regards, C.

[aniv]

Great ciaranob, thanks for the update

I need to call the dealership tomorrow to remind them that I dont want the front license plate holder to be installed.

[ciaranob]

Yep - well advised - I have been reminding my sales rep that they not do this also as my last beemer, purchased from same dealership, had holes drilled even though I specifically told them not to. If they do it again I will not accept delivery until fixed but I think he is onboard this time!

[ciaranob]

Anybody pick-up the Curitiba on tracking sites yet - seems odd that it has not appeared (at least on marinetraffic.com or digital-seas.com) given it is supposed to be in Brunswick by tomorrow? I know, I'm impatient

[aniv]

I think its normal for the K line vessels to not appear on the tracking sites. Some people refer to these vessels as ghost ships. I will call at 1 PM tomorrow and update the post

[ciaranob]

Interesting! Had no problem tracking through Europe but it certainly had no appearance on Sailwx (although hardly surprising as this site is fairly lame re tracking and certainly in respect tracking on time). Vesseltracker.com has a 'live' view of the Port traffic (shows more than some other sites but the free service lags behind real time traffic fairly significantly). Nothing visible to date - hopefully still on track.

[ciaranob]

Well called K-Line at 8am today and they say it is still due in today - still see nothing on AIS - guess they are stealth ships

[aniv]

Thanks again for the update ciaranob, guess we are all getting impatient.

[ciaranob]

Well it finally re-appeared on marinetrafic.com at around 10am this morning - pop-up says it will arrive at 1pm today in Brunswick although if I use the distance calculator on that site, it calculates arrival as tomorrow late night! Clearly there is some lag time on the marinetraffic site so hopefully the earlier time is correct!

woot!!! I am cleaning the garage and making room for now...hahahaha

He...he..he.. same here.
Need to move my kids ATV under the deck, so I can park my new car in the real garage.
I've been procrastenating to finish sealing up the under the deck space with gutter/downspout as garage so I'd better get my lazy butt going.

I am having hard time getting vessel info, my CA told me my car will hit Port Hueneme around the May 27th.

[aniv]

Seems it is delayed until 5/5, information from my CA.

[ciaranob]

Guess the marinetraffic.com calculator is fairly accurate - bummer
