I pulled my hair out trying to track mine try checking from Bremerhaven port Germany on the ship tracking app, as the cars go there first then back to Uk, usually Southampton.

There is a new Grey M240i sitting at Grassicks Bmw in Perth, the sister garage to where yours is coming from…. You never know it might be yours

Don't think it's mine pal, BMW still say the cars in transport with the code 9000. Arrives 23rd May 🤞🏼.

Do you know what Mexican port our cars leave from?

Am pretty sure it’s Veracruz port Mexico, I was able to see what car carriers were docked there on different occasions, and tried tracking there routes,, It not easy and no one in the UK can tell you the name of the boat your cars on

Once it's at sea there's no telling when it'll rock up. Mine was scheduled for delivery mid April but turned up mid march and collected the 29th. The tracking system seems to lag once it gets dispatched from the factory. Just keepnyour phones handy and hang on in... its well worth the wait.

Just to add that not all new BMWs go to Southampton. Depending where in the UK your retailer is, the vast majority go to BMW Killingholme and then after PDI, onwards to your retailer.

BMWs bound for Scotland go to BMW Killingholme.

Possibility our cars are on this boat. Just left the port you mentioned after being at the previous port you also mentioned 😂 must have our cars on this ship 🙏🏼🤞🏼. Heading to ANTWERPEN, BELGIUM.

Don't suppose anyone knows if this is the BMW EU stop over for quality control?

That would be perfect if your cars on that boat, you will be able to track it on its journey to the UK
It will make you day when you see the ship getting closer

I know mine went to Bremerhaven first for quality check..

It was at this port last month after being in a different Belgian port first.

The time frame I've been told and what other guys are saying, this boat would tie in with it 🤷🏼*♂️🙏🏼

Mine didn't go to Belgium, it came straight to Southampton. The genius won't tell you what ship your car is on but it's not hard to work it out once you know it's at the port in Veracruz and what the estimated handover date is. From getting in the uk your car is usually on your drive within 10 days so you can work back from that to see which ships are landing at Southampton.

It will be on Sirrus, Hawaiian or Hamburg Highway. The schedule is here https://www.klineglobalroro.com/sche...f_schedule.pdf

Haha dude I love you, you're my favourite person on the forums now. I spent the last 2 hours narrowing it down to hamburg highway at the port of altamira but I couldn't find any confirmation on if bmw actually uses it, so like a dodo I paid for premium on vessel finder to try and find more info but to no avail.

According to genius it'll go to bremerhaven then uk, and from previous ship logs it does look like it docks in bremerhaven before coming to the uk in most cases. So now I just have to wait till tomorrow night when hopefully big hamburg docks, and then another 2 days for it to set off again.

Just had a look through the schedule and it does say Southampton before bremerhaven. That's interesting. And exciting. As long as my g87 gets boarded in the next few days it should definitely arrive before end of november. Fingers crossed.

Happy to help. It's so frustrating how much more information the USA guys get compared to us.

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