August 4th is when Ethan was able to show data on the VIN. Yesterday afternoon vehicle was in Wainwright on the train, so I expect Edmonton today, 11 days from when Ethan started to track it. I don't know how long it stays at port. Ethan's first post (page 1) has some expectations.

Ya seem much longer than 6 days is why I was asking. Salesman's said he couldn't leave expedite through VDC but it it takes a week for my reaching port to rail then another 10 days there estimated eta might not be far off

Just got my car from the dealership this past Saturday morning! They even left the Euro plates on (both front and back) so I spent the day driving with them on until I could switch to the permanent ones

Just wanted to throw one final shout out to Ethan. Thanks dude for doing this for us fellow Bimmerpost members. Really appreciated it!!!!!

I'm leaving this thread until it's time to order another new one. All the best!

Cheers.

Ethan, is Hansen's in Edmonton? Hansen's website does not show an Edmonton location and on Google Maps the location shows SFS or Livingston International.

Hi Scott,

I actually dont know if they move BMW vehicles in Edmonton.
As far as I know Hansen's is the dedicated forwarding company that moves all new BMWs across the country. I think it will be better chance to know the actual carrier by asking your SA. I believe that they will use their dispatch at Calgary to move Edmonton.

Thanks.

Excellent, car is in Clover Bar, the receiving site in Edmonton. Checked with Dealer and it is Hansen's, even though Hansen's webpage and location here does not indicate that. I will follow on the Hansen's page.
Appreciate your commitment to this post

Thanks so much for doing this for the group, Ethan!
I am (semi) patiently waiting for my car to show up, but I do realize that the boat trip across the pond doesn't happen overnight.

Your efforts are GREATLY appreciated!

Have a great weekend!


Cheers!

Allan

Hey Allan,
Do you know what vessel that your vehicle was boarded?
Where is your dealership location?

I have no idea, sorry Ethan?

I just this minute got a text from my SA, telling me that there was a delay at port? I'm not sure if that means port on the Europe side, or CDN side.

His screen shot shows:

Method of transport: boat
Departure Date: 7/25/2018
Estimate Arrival Date: 9/6/2018
Actual arrival Date: 8/8/2018
Railcar Number:

My dealership is Dilawri, in Regina, Saskatchewan.


I think the car is at port on the Canadian side, but there seems to be a delay in getting it on a railcar? Am I reading that correctly?

Thanks, Ethan.

I think I cannot say that there is a delay yet at this point if vehicle arrived at Halifax on Aug 8th as your SA indicated.
Once vessel departs from Germany, it takes about 2 weeks to get to Halifax. So the actual arrival date should be the date when your vehicle arrived at Halifax. Best way to check is to get the name of the vessel so that I can search if the vessel did arrive on time as it is mentioned above.
I do not see some noticeable delay at VPC right now. Should be loaded soon if everything goes fine.
