Those guys on Bimmerfest are right on top of things (thanks for the link Larry). Anyway, my car was built on 3/3 and left Germany on 3/9 on the vessel Green Cove. Yesterday it went thru the Panama Canal - check out the webcam picture! Quite fun tracking my ship for the past month thru all the different webistes available. It arrives in San Diego on 4/6 (then on to Washington State). Just thought for those of you waiting, you'd like to see one of the resources available for your long wait.

See my post below for websites for tracking.

 

That's pretty cool...the wait for delivery is intolerable!

 

wow greta!!! cool picture!!!! that's sooo exciting that you can watch the entire process! i'm getting so exited for you and i can only imagine the look on your face when you watch it come off the truck!!

 

You're very lucky. I had a similar wait but only a Mini came off the boat for me.

 

Very cool find! That's great!!!! Only a few more days......

 

Congratulations. One more step closer to your baby!
Would you please post URL of web site that has the web cam of Panama Canal?
Also, how did you find the exact time of your boat passing the canal so you could check the web cam at the right time?
Thank you.

 

Here is the sequence of tracking that I know:


Clicking on this link will show the vehicle carriers leaving Bremerhaven, destined for Port Hueneme:

The webcam for the Panama canal is: http://webcams.pancanal.com/

Clicking on this link will give you schedule of boat arrivals in San Diego:

Here is another on the Port in San Diego which shows slightly different schedule (not sure which is most accurate):

Have fun! keep us posted. All your friends and family will think you are INSANE if you tell them you are doing this

 

Actually will still be 3-4 more weeks believe it or not! Arrives in SD on 4/6, then wait for a truck, then drive to Washington....now to figure out how to track the truck!

 

greta,

you could make a fun trip out of it! fly down to san diego and drive the new beauty back up to seattle! hehe!

 

^^^^ Jody, if they let me do that , you can bet I would. Unfortunately it must go to the dealer you ordered it from and they have to check the diagnostics, etc. before delivery. And oh yea, they want a check from me too

 

I am glad to see we can track the cars from another country via a boat thru a canal but CANT seem to have anyway of finding out more about clients 1 thru 8! LOL.

Cool.

 

Your in the short grass now! Hopefully it will be great weather when it rolls into town for you to enjoy. Do you have wonderful roads up there to enjoy your new baby?

 

Hey Subbie !

What Wheels Are Those On Your Tt ?

 

Not so many great roads in Washington, but a few. May have to take some long trips to the grocery store (in California - LOL). Subbie, post a pic of those wheels - I would like to see too.

 

Won't be long now!
