My buddy dropped off his 525i in Munich, but has no idea when
the car will hit Por Hueneme, CA. BMW does not know and
Harms does not know. All he knows is his VIN and 6 weeks
from dropoff.
Anyone have any insight on how to find the ship that is carrying
his car or to track it?

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks,
JeffHarms has to know!!!! How long ago did he drop off the car? Harms can tell him what boat he is on, and then you can check the shipping schedules on the internet to figure out when the car will get to port.

Harms got the car on Sept 27th and sent it to port the same day.
They said that is all they know...

He'll get something from BMWED soon that details his ship and est. date of arrival at Port. I dropped off in Cologne on Sept. 12 and got a letter 3 weeks later saying that it would be at Hueneme on Oct. 16.
Check the Owners Circle for an account of the voyage to dealership as well.

SLKer,
I got your PM, but unfortunatley, it appears that Harms do NOT know the name of the ship :( Tell your friend to just relax, as the car is being transported without a doubt. In a few weeks (2 ~4 weeks) he will receive a letter telling him the name of the ship.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful... but the car is on its way... :thumbup:

cheer,

bee :bigpimp:

I dropped off my car in Munich on September 16th and I received a letter from BMW North America on the 28th letting me know the car was on the Orion Diamond and would disembark the ship on or about the 15th. I just checked and the Orion Diamond berthed in San Diego today and is in the process of off-loading it's cargo (cars). I was advised that due to heightened security it would be a few days longer going through VDC. I anticipate the car will be in Seattle in two weeks by the 28th.

I thought Orion dimond was scheduled for Port Hueneme for 16th October and reach San Diego on 15th, so according to you it is already in SD. Cool !
