Some questions: Is the location Bremerhaven the docks called Kaiserhaven Zwei and Drei? There appear to be a lot of vehicles there. Is the location in Halifax the dock in Dartmouth on Main and Morris? Does the ship go directly from Bremerhaven to Halifax? I'm wondering if I can figure out the ship from the destination in the AIS transponder. |

Okay, google is my friend.
I looked up the schedules on the WW website. May 9 - May 22 May 15 - May 28 May 23 - June 5 It seems like a stretch for it to be shipped on May 9th. |

Just looked at the routes I posted above and they go to Gothenburg, Brugge, Southampton and then Halifax. Strange that they stop in Belgium when it's so close to Bremerhaven. Maybe they also pick up vehicles in Gothenburg?

I called the bmw genius and was told the vehicle is at the port awaiting shipping, but has not been assigned to a vessel. They said it would take 8-10 days to be assigned to a vessel. |

When my 2016 M2 shipped from Germany two years ago the ship also stopped in Southampton England and then went directly to Halifax.It went directly to Southampton after it left Bremerhaven.Then it went directly to Halifax after it left Southampton.It is quite common for the ship to stop in Southampton to drop off cars for the British market and then continue directly to Halifax.

Maybe the person from BMW Canada did not chose the words very well, but the reply seemed to imply the vehicle would be shipped first to Southampton before being shipped to Halifax. I would interpret that differently from the car being shipped from Bremerhaven to Halifax with some intermediate stops along the way (i.e., Gothenburg, Zeebrugge, Southhampton).

No need to apologize to me for that. I agree. There is no excuse for BMW Canada to not provide the same level of service provided elsewhere. I find it incredible that that the tracking service is not provided by BMW group to be used by all customers, irrespective of the country.

So it the whole look (of the website and in general) is this slick façade but behind that is a shitty garage and executives making too much money for getting away with bad decisions because we Canadians don't like to complain......

Seems like Halifax is backed up again, my RR has been in port since May 4th and has not been loaded to make the trip to Vancouver. Big shout out to alscks0414 for CN tracking.
For me just knowing that I will be able to track when my car gets loaded is big. Knowing the car is in Canada and still so far away is maddening |

Not familiar with BMW VIN's. How to you differentiate Canadian VIN's from US? Do you just add digits to the end of the VIN and there's no other letter coding differentiating CDN from US models?

When you decode the vin, look for "838 Canadian Version Kanada-ausfuehrung".

According to "track my bmw", "my" bmw is "En Route to the U.S." I think it must have made it on the 15th. I'm in Germany this week, so I'll try giving WWL a call to see if I can find out if my car is on the Don Juan.

I called WWL. The person was very helpful and did not push back at all, even without a booking number. He confirmed that my car is on the Don Juan. That's my actual car, as opposed to my car vin +1.

Thanks all for the info in this thread. I was able to find a production date for my M240i. (May 15th) Hoping it made that May 23rd ship. I'm literally in Halifax so a short journey after that.
