Further evidence that Techwhiz' car is getting all the special extra special treatment possible.
When looking at the flow chart for my car, if there is a slower/longer path, I'm on it.

Waiting for my M50......

Status just changed to 193 - At The Port as of this morning Feb 06, 2023.
Hoping two days at the port will be enough to prepare it for transit on Grand Legacy (NYK) scheduled to leave Bremerhaven on February 09, 2023.
Based on the table, it has an estimated arrival at Port Hueneme of March 08, 2023. This would align well with the approximation my sales advisor gave me of March 12, 2023, although i'm not sure if that date was arrival at the dealership or the VPC.
Tugela (WW) is scheduled to arrive at Port Hueneme on March 12, 2023. So i'm crossing my fingers the arrival date he gave me was not for arrival to the US but rather the dealership.

Mine just flipped to in transit, so must be Poseidon Leader from looking at the schedule.
The Poseidon Leader is expected Port Hueneme on Feb 27 looking at the port schedule.

Currently in Southampton.
Expected stop on Long Beach on Feb 26.

Maybe I should be worried because it’s on the same boat as your M50 so this would be the Roro that capsizes for the first time in a long time….

I'm dying over here.

Good thoughts, only good thoughts.

I checked my VIN at the BMW site and didn't see any holds or recalls on my car. Fingers crossed.

My birthday is in the first week of March. It's looking like a birthday present.

Also looks like my wife loses our bet. Her Fisker won't beat my car here. I would have never lived it down if she got her Fisker One first.

In ridiculous news, NYK finally posted the Week 5 schedule dated 2 February.
NYK added voyages, WW identified both TBN ships, and there were only 2 port movements since the last OP update.

The OP has been updated with the week 6 NYK schedule, current WW schedule and movement updates.
The big news today is that Oberon's voyage starting 2 March has been scrubbed.

For those of us on Heritage Leader (the ship that came out of Zeebruge and not Bremerhaven), it is on track to hit Port Hueneme on 2/15. It's heading to San Diego now. Dealer also wrote me to confirm the port arrival timeline. No clue on when I will actually get it here in the Bay Area, but still forward progress makes me happy.

Status just updated to In Transit as of Feb 13, 2023 04:00 AM PST. BMW genius confirmed vessel is Grand Legacy and departure date of Feb 11, 2023. All that’s left now is to wait…

on a side note, how long has the time at the VPC in Port Hueneme, CA been for those of you who have received your vehicle?

Dealer originally told me March 12 for arrival at the dealership but recently changed it to March 20. Considering Grand Legacy is scheduled to reach Port Hueneme on March 08, 12 days seems like a while Southern California dealership by the way.

I don't know but I assumed 10-12 days from landing for my car.

You figure a day in customs. A day at the VPC and maybe a day wait for a truck. 2 days for the truck to arrive Dealer prep for a couple of days

What's that 7 days, and throw in a weekend and you get close to 10 or 11 days.

Yeah, thinking it over that timeline does make sense... I think it's just the excitement of it all that's getting the best of me here.
Thank you for the insight.

Congratulations on the M50, sounds like a great color combination! Those red brakes will definitely give it that pop of color effect with the Tanzanite. :)

Yeah it wasn't real for me until it made it on a ship.

Now I need to write a check bigger than the down payment I made on my house. Go figure.

Now I'll qualify that. I bought my house 25 years ago.

Mine has said “At the Port” since 2/7. I emailed Genius and they replied today no updated status. Starting to get worried that I didn’t make it on the ships leaving this week. Hopefully it will switch over soon.

It took three days for mine to flip to "in transit" after it was already on the ship.
