The Mignon, the boat my car is/was on, was 1-2 days early arriving in Halifax today. So it's quite possible. Also some tracking sites update more frequently than others. I use 'vessel finder' ...its been updating nicely...

Marine traffic is also showing that the Porgy will arrive in Halifax, 2 days early!! Hopefully it should hit the NYC port by the 22nd.

Does anyone know the current location of the Porgy? I have been using the free versions of Marine Watch and Vessel Finder and both are still reporting status as of August 15th. Want to make sure the boat is still en route! Getting exciting!

Unfortunately both vesselfinder and marinetraffic changed their eta for Halifax back to the original date of 8/22, therefore I'm assuming it will come to port in NJ on the 24th. 😥

My dealer tried to tell me that it takes usually 8 business days for the car to arrive to the dealership from the port. Which is crazy since the dealership is less that an hour from the port. However he did also mention that due to month end they try to rush all ordered cars to the dealerships so that they can be delivered before month end. Fingers crossed that we get it in August.

IwannaM2 · 08-21-2016, 03:47 PM

Yep. Porgy is back on the radar, scheduled to reach port in Halifax tomorrow at 5:30. Glad to see it back on the radar! Makes sense that the dealers would want to book revenue by delivering the car prior to year end. I would love to be able to pick it up by Saturday. My dealer is only a few hours from the port in NJ.

Yeah my salesman said that it could take anywhere from 2 days to 4-5 days depending on how many cars total are being taken to the port. My car is going straight to get Expel and would love for everything to be done for Labor Day weekend

Date of Arrival into NY (Port Newark, NJ) has been delayed until tomorrow. I really hope my dealership gets the car before the end of the month.

My car will be at the dealer September 1st

M_Driver4life · 08-26-2016, 08:27 PM

As per BMW genius my car is supposed to be picked up on the 31st and be at the dealership on the 1st. This seems to be ridiculous considering my dealership is only 30-40 minutes away.

Nice. Called my CA and said that he expects it in on Monday which is a lot better than what BMW genius told me. I am assuming you are having your car detailed/wrapped ASAP. I have also instructed my dealer to do the bare minimum and not touch the front bumper. I will be taking the car to get wrapped straight from the dealer.

Yes I am taking it straight from the dealer as well! My vinyl shop is only 4.9 miles away from my dealer so I will drop it off for full front end Expel Ultimate
