They go to Bremerhaven after Southampton so your car should be in the UK 18th November I would think.

Yeah its a p*** take but oh well, I read on the forums the euerope guys don't get any tracking from genius so. Grateful we've got something at least.

You can ask your dealer for the carrier load number. Theres some numbers and letters in there that you can correlate with the K-Line schedule. I also have a car with an ETA mid November so am following the Hamburg Highway too.

The dealer didn't give me any of that unfortunately I did ask, are you england based? What you got on order if you don't mind my asking?

Yep I’m in the UK. Ive got an M240 on its way! Previously a couple of years ago there were a few of us who managed to track cars on the same ship using the numbers. I think it’s tucked away in the dealer’s system somewhere so might be worth asking them again.

Yeah sure I can give it a shot ill probs ring them at some point this week. I'm kinda betting on hamburg highway now though so I'm just waiting to see when it docks. The piece of crap took forever to come from veracruz to altamira and has just been stuck at anchor for the last 16 hours. On top of that 3 vehicle carriers arrived later but docked first. (Aa you can see I've become an obsessive port watcher)

Hopefully by tomorrow morning the other vehicle carriers will be disembarked and hamburg highway will have moored in their place. Maybe even before tonight if we're lucky but I doubt it.

Also nice choice on the 240i! Would be cool to link up if you're local at all, then again I don't mind driving up to meet ya if you wanted. Get those break in Miles.

Hamburg Highway is docking now 🥳🥳😁
So we should be loaded onto the ship in the next 48 hours and updated on bmw genius. 27th October at the latest before departure.

Yep got this from Genius!
The current order status is 195 - exit from port or compound. This was updated on the 22/10/24. This means that your new BMW is currently at sea on its way to Southampton Port of Arrival.

I’m pretty confident it’s on the Hamburg Highway which left Veracruz on 21st. I’m trying to get the full carrier number to confirm. The ETA is Week 50 but the ship should dock in the UK a few weeks earlier.

What spec have you gone for on your G87? What ETA have you been given?

Aha so the sleuthing and scouring the Internet was a success Hurrah! Thanks for helping bungleaio altho I did figure out it was hamburg highway finding the schedules was a brilliant addition.

I just asked Genius for an update on mine but no update yet, however it does look like it took at least a day for yours to update, ill check daily and see.

G87 is fire red with bi colour alloys. Carbon interior, m exclusive seats, active cruise control and....a sunroof. Which i know I'll get castrated for but hey. My ETA is Week 48 which is strange. Either you get yours earlier or I get mine later 😭😭😭😭

Happy to help Mstar456

Great move on the sunroof, I love having one and it makes the cabin a much nicer place to be. In the front at least as it restricts the already quite tight head room in the rear, I don't sit there so it's none of my concern!

[rsbg87grey]

Seems i'm not the only one tracking ships! Seems our cars may be on the same ship!
Exciting times

Not the response I expected haha, from all the posts I've seen so far most people strongly disagree with the sunroof option. Glad you approve.

Yes indeed - I heard today from the dealer too - he reckons 7-14 days customs etc before it reaches the dealer.

[spursmat]

I checked in with BMW Genius and mine has also changed to status 193 - arrival at port or compound as of yesterday
