Vessel: ASIAN EMPEROR Port Hueneme ETA 10.29.07

samoe93 · 10-11-2007, 01:42 PM

Anyone else on this ship? My VIN finally appeared in the WW tracking system today, which confirmed this is my vessel. I got lucky it seems - my production was completed on 10.2.07 and I managed to get on this ship that departed Bremerhaven on 10.5.07. Looks like there are about 300 other new BMWs on this one.

Can't wait to finally stop buying things for the car in anticipation and just start enjoying it! Doesn't help that my coworker has a jet black E93 for me to drool over every day...

So is your 335 based in this area or up in Oregon?

My 335 is based down here in cali, I got a 4Runner up in Oregon, perfect for snowboarding season.

Mine was built in Regensburg, and yes on the "P". Where else are 3s built in Germany (if anywhere)?

that's a cool ship name

SoCal_PDX 335i · 10-20-2007, 02:26 PM

One more week until this thing gets to Cali!!! Anybody know where this thing is at? Has it passed the Panama Canal yet?

samoe93 · 10-20-2007, 06:27 PM

Due into Manzanillo, Panama tomorrow, October 21st, then on to Port Hueneme on the 29th. It hasn't been late to any scheduled stop so far, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Waiting has been all good and well but I feel like I've read everything there is to read about my car and it just needs to be here!

samoe93 · 10-22-2007, 12:50 PM

Asian Emperor transiting the Gatun lock of the Panama Canal this morning (credit goes to the obsessives on a Mini forum who are also on this boat).

samoe93 · 10-29-2007, 04:28 PM

AIS tracking located Asian Emperor just off the coast near the Port of Los Angeles around 6 am this morning, so by all estimates she should be docked in Port Hueneme at this point. The WW website now lists AE as both arriving and departing today (previously said departing tomorrow), so if by chance there is anyone else out there on this boat (there are tons of Mini owners apparently), looks like we made it on time. Now how long to get to VDC to my dealership about in Thousand Oaks, about 25 miles away??

I'm new here. I think my car is in this ship too, at least that what WW website said when I put my VIN. I asked my CA for the ship name 2 weeks ago, but he just gave me the approx date of when the car will be in dealership. I really can't wait!

m1n4e92 · 11-01-2007, 09:50 PM
