FINALLY! After 3-4 days on the water from Germany to England "My Garage" says "in transit".

My suspicions

1. Early cars were removed from port because of congestion and some later builds made it to port at convenient timing. It was easier to put those cars on boats rather than shuffle them off-site and get the off-site cars onsite.

2. Some cars are destined for PCD and got bumped up.

3. West coast vs East coast deliveries.

Hopefully many of us in the west coast will get aboard the Auriga Leader. It arrived at Bremerhaven Saturday.

Damn, that has to be infuriating.

It has been indeed, given not just the last several months post formal announcement, but the years of anticipation!

If there is any 'silver lining' to it all, it will allow me to enjoy her even more so when she arrives, as this weekend I picked up a '21 RS6 Avant. Been a case of 'when it rains it pours', so spaces the joy out a bit!

Just mindful that delivery is likely now late December (at best) and then several months of long winter hibernation. Wish there were a way to just park her in the living room so I can at least stare at the 'fixture' till Spring

I'm in greater Los Angeles as is my dealer, and they let me know today that I'm on the Auriga Leader and it left 11/24. Estimated west coast arrival of 12/28.

What's strange to me is that My BMW has shown "In Transit" for over two weeks now. So either the system is flakey, there are dealer games afoot, or some other wires are crossed somewhere....

The online tracker has been a big negative for me during this experience. It doesn't update in real time. If it were a reliable real time tracker, then I think it would be a value add. Otherwise I found it easier to check in periodically with a phone call.

Auriga Leader is currently docked in Bremerhaven. I believe the Jupiter Leader is enroute to wear coast.

Anywhere online (one of the shipping company websites perhaps? WW doesn't seem to show it) where I can put my VIN and see for myself?
Or, maybe better, where are you seeing the status of those two ships?

Nice...I am in Atlanta, and getting together sounds fun! We should all do a PCD on a same day!

Mine is AW, gold rims, red brakes, and manual.
