On the positive side our boat is going to dock in Halifax in a matter of hours. Let's just hope customs clears them fast
Based on the view on MarineTracker, it looks as though it is docked in Halifax.

Haha yeah LBB is by far the most common colour - I'm in that camp as well but only after a couple of months of going back and forth with BSM. Did you get 6MT or DCT? I opted for 6MT.

Shipping times really depend on how fast it clears customs. I'm expecting mine before Remembrance Day long weekend. Yours should arrive by then but might take longer because the MPE will be installed at the port and not at the dealer

Last week, the schedule updated to the 20th for arrival in New Jersey. Hopefully with the ship being on time to Halifax, it will actually still arrive on the 19th to Jersey.

Well, always wanna ask why BMW install the MPE at the port instead of factory back in Germany? I think it's much easy to do this in their factory right!

WWL website just updated. Looks like the boat will be spending the night in Halifax and pushing back the schedule by a day. It should arrive in Jersey on the 20th.

Thanks for the update. While unfortunate, an extra day won't kill anyone. (I typed this as I shed a few tears...)

Does anyone know how often ships depart from Germany? Every week? 30 days?

The Tortugas is now moving away from Halifax dock, and is in the harbor. We are in motion towards NY.

Are you getting anything installed at port? It may take a few more days if so. I expect to be picking it up by mid next week.

That's what I am confused by. BMW Genius says that all accessories are installed at the factory.

Forums say VPC. Hmm...

I do have pedals, front and side grilles in the order and so I don't know. We shall see.

All those will be installed at the VPC. I originally had quite a few items, but left just the pedals and front grilles on the order. So hopefully it won't be more than a day or two to get things installed and then it depends on how often delivery trucks go out to the dealers.

Hopefully daily! Fingers crossed. On the other hand, Scully D and I ordered from the same dealer. We may even see each other when we pick up maybe?

Any of you skipping dealer prep?

Yeah that puzzles me as well. Our cars have definitely been off-loaded by now - have you got an update from your SA?

I am still deciding whether I will ask them to skip dealer prep. Debating on doing XPEL. I've never done it for a car and it is quite pricey from the better installers in the area. Even if I do decide on it, I would want the dealer to inspect for damage which requires moving the transport covering. I could tell them to skip the wash though.

I am on the same boat. I kind of want to get the car ASAP. Do not want some nutjob at the dealer driving around needlessly. I may also tell them do skip the wash, but don't they wax it when the prep?

Also, XPEL is extremely expensive. I might have to skip that as well.

I was considering doing XPEL. The car needs to clear customs by the way, it won't be to the dealership until late next week most likely. You can see when it clears customs with your VIN on the 2wglobal website.
