My estimated completion date is 09/13, and the following boats are scheduled to leave after that:

15-Sep --- 12-Oct --- Morning Courier --- WWL
20-Sep --- 22-Oct --- Marguerite Ace --- MOL
21-Sep --- 17-Oct --- Equuleus Leader --- NYK
26-Sep --- 22-Oct --- Don Carlos --- WWL
28-Sep --- 26-Oct --- Clover Ace --- MOL
29-Sep --- 26-Oct --- Tortugas --- WWL

BMW apparently prefers to use WWL, and it's unlikely I'd make the Morning Courier, so the safer bet would be the Don Carlos, leaving 09/26, and arriving in CA on 10/22. I don't have any port installed options, and my dealer (yours too @just blaze) is the second closest dealership to the port. I'd estimate 3 days from there, which would have me taking delivery on the week of 10/23 ~ 10/27.

If I make the Morning Courier, or the MOL or NYK ships following that, it should be even earlier.

My CA predicted the week of 10/16 ~ 10/20 when I placed my order, though obviously didn't guarantee that. He might end up being correct though!
Assuming the MOL ships are A.P. Möller, that is also owned/operated by WWL so I would guess you could be on one of those.

Got my VIN, tried to put it in on the website to fiddle with the web owner's manual... and the website says the manual for my car isn't available.

There's a PDF available now in the sticky, look for the link that has the following line:
BMW M2 Owner's Manual 2018 (online) (US): here (requiring the last 7 digits of a VIN code)

Taking the information from the sticky:
-Build finish (155) to Scheduled for Carrier (182): 1 day.
-Status 182 to 190 (on a train to bremerhaven):1-3 days.
-Status 190 to 193 (at port awaiting a ship): 1-2 days.
-Status 193 to 195 (on a ship): 3-5 days for east coast delivery, 5-12 days for west coast delivery
You can calculate a worst case situation of 18 days from completion to sailing, and a best case of 8 days.

If you complete on 9/18, then 8 days would be 9/26, 18 days would be 10/6.

For a completion on 9/13 (my car's estimate), puts me some time between 9/21 and 10/1.

The biggest variable in this is the time it takes to get from status 193 to 195, and that depends on when your car gets to the dock, how busy it is, and when the next boat leaves. Based on these dates, I think there's a high chance I'll be on the Don Carlos, and there is a lower chance that you will be.

As has been seen in some of the earlier week 3x threads, some people have finished production first, and ended up taking a boat later than others that finished production after them. In this case, I guess it's caused by a delay in moving from 182 to 193.
This is really helpful, thanks!

Same here. Originally scheduled to complete 09/11. Now scheduled to complete 09/12. I like 09/12 better anyway.

My completion date stays on 9/11. Guess my car is a couple of slots ahead of you guys on the production line.

BMW apparently prefers to use WWL,
This is extremely helphul. Does any of these boats stop by Port Galveston?

No - none of those stop in Galveston. There are WWL boats departing Bremerhaven on Sept 20 & 28, Oct 3, 5, 15, 20 & 26.

Go here http://www.2wglobal.com, click on "Schedules" and then enter Bremerhaven & Galveston for detail.

I checked briefly on MOL & NYK sites - it doesn't appear they have any boats headed for Galveston.

Woohoo! My WK37 is completed, waiting to be transported...everything is on schedule, as expected.

Hopefully, it will catch the ride on Tombarra, september 18 and arrives at Galveston October 12. Or else the next ship will be 10/1. Keep my fingers crossed.

Phone line says mine is 'Your vehicle is being transported to the port of exit', which I believe means status 190. That was fast progress from status 155 to 190, assuming production completed on the estimated data of 09/13!

The question now becomes... which of these boats will it end up on:

<Bremerhaven date> --- <Port Hueneme date> --- <Ship> --- <Rout> ---<Line>

15-Sep --- 12-Oct --- Morning Courier --- 3D737-MCU --- WWL
22-Sep --- 20-Oct --- Thalatta --- CD738-THA --- WWL
22-Sep --- 23-Oct --- Marguerite Ace --- 0072A --- MOL
27-Sep --- 21-Oct --- Equuleus Leader --- 096 --- NYK
29-Sep --- 26-Oct --- Tortugas --- CD739-TOR --- WWL
30-Sep --- 27-Oct --- Clover Ace --- 0062A --- MOL

I am also "being transported to the port of exit."

I'm shipping to the East coast though, so now I have to go through and try to figure out what boat that might be...

Oh yeah, I didn't think about that. I won't be needing snow tires, and will be happy driving it all over winter because we never get snow here and don't need anything other than summer tires.

I will drive mine all winter too... and have fun in snowy parking lots... Just won't quite be the same experience. I doubt that I will even get to break-in service by the time I need the winter setup.

I thought my winter with the M2 would be better than yours, but fun in snowy parking lots sounds like a LOT of fun... now I'm envious again!

Snowy parking lots are a lot of fun, for sure, but no snow for my M2 here in MD - too much road salt. I don't even let my 18 year old Miata out when the roads are salty, but at least it won't be lonely in the garage during winter anymore.
