Anyone have an idea on how much longer it will be to get my car from what you can see in this picture?

Quite a while, at least 30 days. All those filled in dots take less time than floating across the sea and then down around the Americas and back up to LA.

I reckon this is why we don’t have this tracker in Australia. There wouldn’t be enough dot room on the screen.

Your car is in transit. It won’t be long now . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It’s somewhere near South Africa . . . . . . . . . . Really it’s not that far away . . . . . . . . . . . . . Coming soon . . . . . . . . . It’s past Singapore . . . . . . . Hey you really live a long way away don’t you . . . . . . Hey we’ve reached Australia . . . . . . Oh, there’s another 3000km to get to you . . . . .

Dude it's coming from Germany not China!!

It goes through the Panama Canal if it's coming to the west coast (Long Beach)

No canals necessary if it's coming to the east coast

Haha to be honest I thought for a second it *might* go around the cape especially since they do sell BMW's in South Africa... So my response was more of trying to make sure that mine is going through the Suez instead of around the cape haha!

Your dealer can get the vessel name... then track the vessel.

Mine is on the Elektra which is in a port in the UK then headed to New Jersey, set to arrive next Friday August 3rd....

yeah, but this is just painful. The ship moves a couple pixels a day. Sometimes sits somewhere for a couple days.

Suez Canal is between Africa and the Middle East and boats going to Australia / Asia from Europe use it.

My bad I assumed you're in the U.S
I'm from Egypt so I'm well aware where the Suez Canal is !!

Build week 33!?!?!? Son of a. I thought this baby would start on the assembly line earlier than that.

Perfect. Someone to commiserate with. I feel like an idiot checking the "track my BMW" with another 2 weeks before it'll likely progress. Bah. I just hope there isn't any salt on the road before it gets delivered to my dealership. I'd like to at least tuck it away for the winter without having to detail it first.

For awhile I was watching my M2 cross the ocean in real time. I should have booked passage

I told myself I wasn't going to do that this time. But I checked where the ship this morning anyway (it hasn't gotten very far yet). Sigh.
