Nope it hasn't shown up yet. Mine arrived at Toronto 2 days after yours apparently. So it probably won't be picked up today.

First shot is in Edmunston, NB, and the next one is waiting for a train (full of car transport rail cars, no less) to cross in front of me not far from Quebec City. Weird knowing that the car I'm driving was scheduled maybe even to be on the very train(s) I saw moving westward on my drive.

Who knows... maybe some of the above cars were on these trains!

One more, taken along autoroute 20 between Quebec City and Montreal late yesterday (the 23rd). The rail line parallels the highway here. Another train full of cars....

It seems little too long and i know it. Hasens usually give ETA very conservative. You can expect the ETA is like the latest time that they will make delivery happen. But usually gets delivered in 2 days. Could be today! Keep your eyes on the website!

Huge kudos to Ethan for the effort, and taking the time to do this for us.

THANK YOU!!

FML, still not even on the train!

The waiting is killing me & it looks like my chances of getting the car for the August long weekend are almost zero now

I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, CN railway has no control over from BMW or anyone. They will move vehicles just according to the order as it comes. Early ones will be sent earlier unless they are tagged with extra install work at VPC.

Hope that I will see yours moving soonest.

Does your info show in advance the weekly schedule of which days the CN trains are leaving Halifax?

Thanks & I know it's not CN, but rather the VPC.

The car is having a bit of work at the VPC as I'm getting the MPE and Carbon Fibre Package installed there. Although it will be awesome when finished, the extra time waiting isn't fun.

Oh well First World Problems: "Boohoo I won't have my car for the long weekend, boo hoo". :

Just very fortunate to have such a great toy on the way.....

Thanks again for the regular updates!

No new VIN showing on track today... Hope something comes up soon

[justus4]

My dealer just received the car last night! I will be picking up the car on Saturday which brings it to right around the 8 weeks mark since drop off in Munich.
As alscks0414 mentioned, the ETA from Hansen's was a bit off. My car showed up in tracking on Tuesday with ETA by the eod on Friday. It was picked up on Wednesday afternoon and delivered 2 hours after.

Cool to see European plates. I think those are shaped better to fit all European cars imo

Interesting. I guess your time was at pretty much the upper end, and mine was pretty much at the lower end (I dropped off in Frankfurt on June 19 and picked it up here in Canada on July 20 - 4.5 weeks in total).

Of course, I had (a) no VPC work, and (b) asked BMW Canada to offload my car to the Halifax BMW dealership instead of to Ottawa (and I went and picked it up myself).

I also kept the temp German plate on... at least for now. Much nicer than Ontario plates.
