The K Lines website now shows the Bosporus Highway getting to Brunswick on Sept 29... Two additional days of waiting.

Hmmm. This is not encouraging.

Thanks for the update.

kscarrol · 09-24-2010, 04:50 PM

Yes, but not surprising with the storms in the Atlantic when she departed...

Just five more days and our cars are at the port!

bdardashti · 09-24-2010, 11:06 PM

SoonEx Audi Guy and I are both on MANON. We've got a little more than 24 hours until it docks!! So excited even though I won't be taking delivery for another 2-3 weeks.

E60orBust · 09-25-2010, 09:26 PM

Mine is sleeping in the garage. That's the good news.

Bad news is my week 34/35 build (depending on how you count) doesn't appear to have the connect-drive/combox. Again, this was no big deal to me as I'm not an apple I-owner nor a blackberry addict. Those who are week 35/36 should still be safe.

Pics to come tomorrow, but be warned, I went out for an extended drive today after taking delivery (400HP, who wouldnt?) the end result was a STINK BUG MASSACRE....

kscarrol · 09-26-2010, 10:19 AM

Poor car! Get those bugs washed off right away... And then post some pics.

And for LuvMyE92, was at the dealer yesterday for lease-end inspection on my 550 and their computers show the Bosporus Highway hitting Brunswick on the 28th. Not sure who to believe but hopefully it has moved back up one day.

The ship docked at 10:30am EST this morning. I am optimistic that we will have the vehicles by the end of next week.

That sounds about right. You guys were built a week after mine so it makes sense you taking delivery a week after I did. This car 'feels' bigger than the E60, but drives a lot lighter on its feet than you'd expect. When we were driving home, it felt like I had jumped in to a 7-series until the first corner

bdardashti · 09-26-2010, 10:34 PM

Hey E60orBust, Congratulations! Sophisto Grey is my favourite color on the new BMWs and your has a nice contrast with the light interior.

I know you were tracking your car's voyage on 2w's site.. can you please let us know if it continues to show details of the rail travel as well or if it's just the boat? Thanks!

Fairly sure K Line's schedule spreadsheet is correct. When I last looked at the spreadsheet, it said the 28th for the Bosporus Highway arriving in Brunswick. That has been updated to the 29th as was mentioned.

As soon as the ship is in AIS range, we'll know better.

I've seen my post build report (I have an F02 on order) and it did include 6VC option. My build was September 6th. Hope that settles any questions some of you had regarding new features.

Thanks Randy, I believe the shipping company spreadsheet as well. Just a little wishful thinking on my part...

LuvMyE92 · 09-27-2010, 07:50 AM

Congrats E60orBust on getting your car! And to the rest of you, who are almost there.

As I may have mentioned before, I am having zero luck selling my E92, largely I'm afraid because of the manual transmission. I'm not second guessing my decision to get a manual on the F10, but I'm just about set on leasing it instead of buying it so that I don't go through this hassle again. I'm getting absolutely hammered on the value of this car.

2W would just track their vessels and not the rail yard. I believe BMW uses a number of different shipping companies, but 2W seems to be the most frequently used one.

repstein · 09-28-2010, 12:27 PM

So I spoke to K Line today. The Bosporus Highway should arrive late tonight in Brunswick and offload early in the morning.

Thanks Randy! My 335 is sold, finally, so it looks like timing will work out well for me.

Awesome! I'm showing the ship moored in Brunswick.

Hopefully we'll get our cars soon!

Thanks again Randy! I had only briefly looked at another tracking site and the BH did not show. E-mailed my CA for a status update and he replied the the ship had not yet arrived.

Needless to say I was a little disappointed but you have cheered me right back up!!!

All cars have been offloaded (confirmed) and the Bosporus Highway is off the coast of Florida (not far from the Kennedy Space Center) heading south to Mexico.

Ha! Actually, I just have weird sleeping patterns. I did sleep last night for a few hours.
