Looks like I missed the cutoff to call BMW and get to a real person. Did either of your status online change? Mine is still saying at the port and its been sitting since 7/3. Hoping mine made that boat as well! |

So I called BMW today to ask whats up with the car. They confirmed its been sitting at the port since 7/3 and had no additional info as to when it'll be on a boat or why its taken 3+ weeks. The only info they had was that "sitting for 3+ weeks is not typical but with Covid things are out of schedule and they are still trying to get things back on schedule".
Hope it makes it on a boat soon... |

And of course, you at least have a shorter journey across the pond! The Monoceros Leader arrived at the Atlantic side anchorage of the Panama Canal on 7/25 and finally started motoring through today. It's kind of cool watching the voyage on marinetraffic.com, as the big ship motors across Gatun Lake, toward the Pacific. I was bummed that she passed through the locks on the Atlantic side at 2 AM last night my time, so I couldn't watch it. But it should hit the Cocoli Locks in the next hour or two, and I'm looking forward to seeing it on the webcam. |

Ok, so now I'm obsessing, circled above is the Monoceros Leader. This shot was captured from the webcam at the Miraflores locks, looking out at the channel of water that is actually feeding the Cocoli locks. There is a separate webcam at Cocoli, will be watching that in a few minutes, and then shortly after Monoceros Leader will be in the Pacific Ocean.

Now, I agree with your schedule you have listed. But the Genius I spoke to was adamant that the schedule we see is incorrect...

Monoceros Leader going through the 2nd of 3 locks, another half hour and she'll be free to sail on to Lazaro Cardenos, MX, and then from there to Port Hueneme.

Had an E39 M5 in BSM 20 years ago so seemed fitting for the M2.

I wonder for PCD if BMWNA also put the cars on a train and ship them to Spartanburg? That way, it's just a straight shot on the original route, but instead of my car getting off in SC, it continues forward.

Looks like the Kline Orion Highway is in port loading now. Supposed to be in Baltimore August 20-21. Hoping we both make it on that ship! |

Check online, did you get bumped to "In Transit"? Mine switched this morning!

I did as well! My sale associate just texted me the ships name is the Glovis "Grand Hero." I'm assuming we will be on the same ship if i had to guess based on both of us receiving the "in transit" status!
