Centaurus Leader - should be departing 12/22/06
I've been lurking here watching with great anticipation for my car to get assigned to a ship before posting. I just found out my little baby is going to be leaving tonite (Bremerhaven time) on the Centaurus Leader!
Attached images show her in bremerhaven and from the webcam - I'm hoping to track her across to the Pacific and Port Hueneme. Bremerhaven webcam is at: http://www.blg.de/webcams/autocam-1_en.html Anyone else on-board? David

It's a lot of fun tracking your car and I see you're off to a great start. I just picked mine up this week and frankly miss the anticipation and fun of tracking it. Check out the Hual Africa thread for a good blow-by-blow account of this process - although some shipmates still don't have their cars, so it's not over yet.
By the way, you probably have the only green/grey 335 in all of North America. Kudos for being so original!

I was a bit surprised to note there were no other Green/Grey 335i's around on the board at all. Nice to be original! This will be the only 335i in Corvallis as far as I know too.

On the www.dbh.de site it looks like departure has been pushed back until 12/23/2006 - hopefully the delay means a few more e90poster's will be able to get on board!

Centaurus Leader has set sail! :rocks:
I assume she'll follow the same path through Southampton and then on to the Panama Canal. I haven't figured out how to get the itinerary - if anyone else does please let me know. Attached are a few departure pics. Bon Voyage!

Well, I hope I'm not alone on the Centaurus Leader...
She made it to Southampton - apparently in one piece - and waiting for the MINI's to get their tails on board so we can get the show back on the water! It looks like she is set to depart at 1000 on 12/24 southampton time - about 0200 pacific. Here she is in Southampton:

I just found out today that I am on the Centaurus Leader! Does anyone else know where this ship is now?

welcome aboard! its in the middle of the atlantic now and isn't trackable as far as i know. it isn't available on the sailwx.info site so we just have to wait for it to hit the panama canal and possibly catch it there. i expect it to hit the panama canal around 1/6 or 1/7 - judging by transit times of other ships.
glad to have another member aboard - i was getting lonely!

I checked the sailwx also and I was worried when I didn't see the ship...CA told me today that the ship should hit the west coast on 1/15....does that sound right to you? I also had trouble with the tracking of this car at the port.....BMW and CA's info all said the car was at the port awaiting transport as late as Wed.....maybe others are late to this thread because ofa similar delay of info..... The wait is now officially UNBEARABLE

Does anyone know how I would find out if I am on this ship without contacting my dealer?
He has been really flakey and given me wrong information a few times so I would like to be able to find out without having to contact him. Since he told me I couldn't even get a production number and track it until it was shipped, I don't feel too comfortable getting the information from him. The website says my car is 'en route' and the 800 number says my car is 'in transit'. |

Maybe I am better off not knowing. If I knew where my car was or when I would have it I would be counting down the days and it would feel like it's taking that much longer! |

i agree - this order tracking is a double-edged sword! its fun to track and know what is going on and when to expect it. but, it also heightens the anxiety and really plays to those with OCD - like me!
in any case, i've talked to a real person on the BMWNA 800 # and they apparently can't tell you the exact ship - that apparently is only available to the dealers in their DCSnet system. if you're into tracking the ship with us i'd definitely insist on the information from your dealer. since both the website and the automated 800 # response both say you're "en route/in transit" you are assured its on a ship somewhere. since the Centaurus Leader is the last NYKLine ship (for west coasters) from 12/22/06 through 1/3/07 i would guess you have a pretty good chance its on it if your car was completed anytime around 12/15-12/18 or so. welcome aboard if it is!

1/15/2007 is what the port hueneme arrival schedule shows as well. see: http://www.portofhueneme.org/documen...LSCHED_002.pdf for a weekly schedule that appears to get updated a couple of times a week. as long as it gets across the pond in good shape it looks like it shouldn't have any congestion in the panama canal and we might be able to catch it on the webcams there. my guess is it will hit the north end of the canal around 1/6 or 1/7. and i agree - UNBEARABLE!

in poking around i found i can bring up the AISLive free site with the Panama Canal tracking at: http://aisfree.aislive.com/Influx.as...ama%20Overview we may be able to get an early indication that it is near - even though the data is delayed by an hour. as it gets closer i'm getting more and more anxious!! this is definitely not going to help my work productivity for the next few days. in looking at the port hueneme arrival schedule it looks like there are 1870 fellow bimmer/MINIs onboard. wow!
