Aboard BESS

I called genius yesterday and they said it was still at Bremerhaven awaiting a vessel and to call back at end of week. Checked online this morning just for fun and it showed in transit! Called back today and they said it left yesterday on the BESS. Go figure....

Week 45 build, due into port Hueneme 12/31. Next stop is Zeebrugge. Anyone else?

My car's been at the port for about a week but seeing as yours is a week 45 and mine is a week 47, I'm thinking it's possible mine didn't make it on the BESS

Me 3!

Mine just changed status from "at port" to "in transit", so most likely also on the same boat.

Woohoo!

I read somewhere that BMW Genius is a couple days behind on the updates once it leaves the factory.

When you call, the genius should be up to date as should the dealer. I confirmed that today when I called the dealer and told him my car gets into port Dec. 31....he said yes you're right. I told him I was tracking it and he said "of course you are". If you call they should have the most up to date info available...

Never say never

If I add up how many years I've spent with deposits down waiting for order banks to open, allocation release, build starts, etc...well, hell, I don't want to add that all up

But after every time, I always say I'm not doing that again! Here i am again anyway

Porgy is docking at Bremerhaven.....hopefully your car gets on that one cpvince. Im suprised your car wasnt on the Bess, seeing that your car arrived at the port a day or two after mine if I recall correctly.
