How Many New Owners Have Done This?
My ED ended May 30, M2 loaded onto ship in Bremerhaven on 6/16, departed there 6/18. On to Belgium 6/19, then off to Bath England, arrival 6/21 with departure on 6/22. Then off to the Panama Canal with arrival 7/2, a day to get through there then off to Port Hueneme in California, with arrival scheduled for 7/11.
Okay, I have had the delivery schedule memorized since the first time I saw it. But is it normal for me to check the shipping site, every day since 6/16 to see where the ship is? How many of you have done this? |

It's normal among many of us here - I did it for my first BMW in 2012 (not an ED but it was a custom order) and no doubt I'll be doing it again this Oct & Nov for my M2 ED (delivery 10/5, dropping off 10/13).

Oh yeah... I tracked mine obsessively. Several times a day at first, until I got the idea it wasn't changing much, lol! Not much to see across the Atlantic of course.
Was great tracking it as the ship turned to dock across the harbour from me. Have fun with it. |

Totally normal. I tracked mine so, uh, carefully that I was able to snap a picture of the car carrier Tugela with a long lens as it passed by my town along the Chesapeake Bay headed for the port of Baltimore. It was May 7th, and my BSM beauty was in there!

Not only is it normal, I also started to check weather forecasts in Quebec when it got to North America. They predicted a Nor-eastern which only added to the drama. My ship did loops for 3 days circling around Quebec.
