DId my boat sink!??I've been tracking the boat day by day as it passes across the atlantic and its been reporting its status about 3 times a day, but now it hasn't reported stauts for about 26hours...What happened, why isn't the boat reporting status. If anything happens to this boat or my car I will flip. I've been waiting so long for this car, and I don't know how much longer I can wait.

Not to alarm you overmuch but there are two hurricanes, albeit weak ones, spinning around the Atlantic. They may have caused some problems with the tracking.

This raises an interesting question. How exactly do they transport cars across the Atlantic? Are the cars in containers? Are they below decks?

Still not reporting status...

I doubt the hurricanes have had an effect though, the ship was past them a few days ago, and I checked the projected paths and it does not seem like there is any issue as of now. I will keep you gusy posted though, if my car sinks I might just bail and get a 335i instead. I cannot wait any longer, and my dealer has a goregous black on black 335i with almost the same specs, sitting in the lot right now.
