Not necessarily...

The WWL website is about 5 days late on updates, particularly when picking up from the dock. If you do a wild card search, you'll see all of the M2's that have had recent updates, and the latest update (09/15) has two cars being loaded onto the Tirranna, but this boat left Bremerhaven on 12th.

The tracking says they were received at the Terminal on the 12th, and loaded on the 15th, which is clearly impossible.

I suspect, the 'Booked' date is when they arrived at Bremerhaven, and the Received at Terminal is when they were received by WWL.

I'd wait until Monday to find out who, if anyone, got on the Morning Courier.

Edit: What Nezil said ^^

Things don't always happen synchronously ... my week 33 car got to port a day before a week 34 car, but said week 34 car got on a boat 1 full week ahead of mine. So, it's not unusual to sit at port for a week or so - especially if you're headed for the US west coast (less frequent departures).

Also - my car didn't show up on WWL query until 2 or 3 days AFTER it actually got loaded on the boat and had left Bremerhaven. So even if your car was loaded on Morning Courier yesterday, it might not show up in the WWL query until tomorrow or Monday. Don't give up yet.

Not that I am aware of. I believe WWL is the only shipping line that provides the neat VIN-lookup capability.

Anybody know different?

I am in the same boat... figuratively speaking.

My car arrived at Bremerhaven port on 9/8, still waiting for a west coast boat.

Thanks for the info guys. Hope to see mine on there next week.

Looks like you're the only M2 on the Morning Courier... I knew it was a long shot, but was hoping I'd get on it too...

How long did you wait at Bremerhaven before getting a ride?

Best I can tell my vehicle finished production 9/1 and sat at the port for roughly a week before boarding Morning Courier on the 15th.

Now I see why I wasn't on the Morning Courier; it's last destination is Port Hueneme,CA. Looks like the Thalatta is the next to come to Tacoma,WA. scheduled to leave 9/22 and arrive 10/24.

Nezil - there are almost 30 M2s on the Morning Courier. Use this wildcard search: "WBS1J%JV%"

Ah yes, that makes more sense... I'd forgotten about the check digit before the JV, so actually the following would be just as adequate: "WBS1J5C5%JV%"

I think breaks down as:

WBS - BMW Motorsport
1J5C - US M2
5 - Restraint System Identifier
% - Check Digit
J - MY 2018
V - Leipzig Plant
% - 7 Digit Sequential Product Number

Sadly though... my car didn't make it to the Morning Courier... even with the broader wildcard search I don't show up.

Hopefully I'll get on the Thalatta later this week.

Just checked. My M2 is on the Morning Courier with a lot of you other guy's M2's. Very cool how we can track the location of the ship and know when our cars will arrive.

Tombarra is underway now as well, in case any of you East Coasters were hoping to get on that.

I hope I don't sound stupid here... But how did you guys use the "wild card" search?

My M2 reached the port on 9/8 and I am dying to find out where it is!

Thanks

On the WWL tracking website, enter the wildcard search in the previous posts into the Cargo ID section.

You can just put your whole VIN in there as well, and you'll see only your vehicle.

Once I found out my car was on the MC I immediately downloaded the Marine Tracker app. Pretty cool little app but its going to consume me until the boat hits Port Hueneme.

So the boat my car is on is scheduled to arrive at the Galveston port on the 22nd. Since the port is literally a 30 minute drive to my dealership i'm hoping it's there by the 27th which is when i plan to pick the car up. My SA said it's a safe bet that it'll be there by then from his experience. Hopefully it goes through the VPC quickly and gets there soon after hitting the port.
