Really looking forward to everyone's posts in the weeks to come. My car finished production on 9/22 for ED on 10/13, so I have my fingers crossed that a few of us without Executive Package get hexagon Adaptive LED Headlights and other surprises!

Mine still tell me it's being transferred to the port of exit. Hoping to find out which vessel mine will be on in the next coming days

When I called, the recording said it's at the port waiting a ship. But when I entered the VIN into Cargo ID of the WWL's Track and Trace page, it says it was loaded unto the the Thalatta.

Try searching this string on 2wglobal.com (WWL) tracking page:

WBS1J5C5%JVD%

That should get you all of the wk37 and 38 (and later) that are in this VIN sequence.

The %s are effectively a wildcard operator. The first % is necessary because there is a "check digit" in the VIN and you need to wildcard it if you are trying to get more than just a single car.

You can add more digits to the end (before the %) if you want to be more specific -- I think we are all actually "JVD35xxx" but not 100 percent sure of that.

My wk37 car made the Thalatta today and is due to hit Baltimore on Oct 7th.

Sweet...I will keep checking in each day.
I did WBS1J5C55JVD35% since my car is a C55 and VD35 series build. It dropped 50-60 cars down to 7 but none are mine... Then I just click on the "loaded on vessel" and it tells you what boat

People would probably prefer you not list entire VINs in searchable form here, FWIW.

As I said before, the ninth character in the VIN is a "check digit." It's actually calculated based on other numbers in the VIN (including the sequence at the end). Just leave it as a % and it makes life easier. WBS1J5C5%JVD35% would get you all "VD35xxx" VINs currently in the system.

You can also search your entire VIN in the Cargo ID field; that will find just your car...

Some of us have been searching chunks in order to see if other VINs "around" our own (in sequence) have made it on a boat before our own car, which is why I mention the whole wildcard and check digit thing at all.

WWL updates their reporting more quickly than BMW's reporting. I'd have 99.99% confidence you are on Thalatta if WWL reports that you are. BMW will eventually catch up and report that you are on Thalatta.

I am week 38 as well. Just called the genius and still sitting on the dock. Checked WWL and no sign of my VIN. Here’s hoping for delayed intel.

It's the same for me. My car has been sitting there since the 22nd. Apparently we're screwed because the boats only go to Galveston twice a month, not once a week like the other main ports.

Yeah, I?m seeing the RESOLVE leaving for Galveston tomorrow and arriving on 10/22. No clue if we?ll be on that boat.

My dealer estimated a mid November delivery to Dallas. What did your dealer say?

He said late October for Austin. Starting to think we’d be lucky to see them in early November. Fingers crossed, the wait has been excruciating.

Oregon Highway left Bremerhaven 9/25, stopped by Southhampton on 9/27 and is heading for Jacksonville, FL (ETA 10/8, maybe a day earlier), arriving Galveston on 10/11. My WK37 and a couple of WK36s are on board, we are on the same boat. Check the K-Line website for OH's port of calls. She does not go to Brunswick.

go to kline.com, click on schedules/car carrier/Atlantic RoRo Europe

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification/correction.
it sounds as though the car is going to get here much sooner than what the dealer is anticipating.
