Following a new E92 335i through shipping, and delivery - a how to:

I ordered a new Silver 2009, (E92) BMW, Twin Turbo 335i X-drive, M Sport Coupe, in late April.
The car was scheduled to be delivered, and awaiting my pick up at the dealer by June 15th, 2009.
I figured out, I wouldn't be driving my 335i home from the dealer on that date.
The car had been sitting at the "port of exit" in Germany, awaiting shipping for close to 2 weeks.
I decided, after I discovered the delay, to find out where my car was, and when I would eventually get it.
Here's what I've learned about how to do that.

How to track your new BMW through the production and shipping cycles in the modern age of information:
(NOTE: This write-up is primarily focused on East Coast delivery options.)

(Below)
Here's the car I ordered:






(Below)
As outfitted on the "Build Your Own" section of the BMW website, and as stipulated with the features to my dealer for my order:




Tracking my BMW 335i:

1. First: you'll need the vehicle "VIN" number from your dealer, or a vehicle production number.
As soon as the dealer officially orders the car through the BMW allocation system, they'll get the VIN number, and then you
can get the VIN number from the dealer -just ask them.
Here's my Vin: WBAWC73569E06XXXX


1.2 - What my Vin number means:

WBA WC73 5 6 9 E06XXXX
WBA= BMW AG
WC73= Model code of my 335i
5= Safety restraint identifier, indication of seat belts, duel advanced airbags, rear/side airbags, curtain airbags, ect.
6= check digit determined by vin
9= model year, "9" code indicates a 2009 manufacture date (see the code in the chart below)
E= Plant code, "Regensburg" Germany (A=Munich)
06XXXX= Sequential production number of my car.

(Below)
1.3 - BMW Vin Example:



2. You can then get "rough" update on your cars progress from BMW NA. The production status is listed in the secure
member's area of the BMW website. You'll need the VIN number to sign up for the members area. This information can
be 48 hours (or more) behind the actual status of the car.

(Below)
This is the status of my 335i as shown in the BMW NA Member's Area Website : "Awaiting Transport..."




(Below)
And, another view of the status: "Awaiting Transport.. in the timeline view..."



Tracking the car status via phone, BMW North America:
(This information can, as well, be more than 48 hours behind the actual status)
• Call: (1-800) 831-1117
• Say "Vehicle Production Status" when prompted... or at any time after the recording starts
• then,you will be asked for your production number, or last seven digits of your vin number...
• then say - the last seven digits of your VIN. In my case: E06XXXX, (Read as, for example: E, Zero,6,ex,ex,ex,ex.)
Carefully annunciate the Es, Ts and Bs - the system is voice recognition based, and sometimes gets confused with Es
and Ts and Bs.
• then say "yes" when the voice reads it back - if correct... if not correct say "no," and repeat... (you can get it wrong 3 times,
and then the system kicks you to a live human, if you're calling during business hours... if not, BMW will give you their
operating hours for the office. Hang up, and try again if they're closed.)
• then say "partial VIN number," if not a production number... when asked...
• then, the system will give you the status of you vehicle production within the last 24 hours.

These are the BMW Status Code Description:
0 Order deleted by NA
17 Order not Specified
37 Order is at BMW NA
87 Production Week Assigned
97 Order sent to AG
100 Order deleted by AG
101 Error in data transmitted
102 Special Order (no Prod Week)
105 Order out of Prod. Period
111 Order Accepted at AG
112 Order scheduled for Production
150 Production Started
151 Body Shop Started
152 Paint Shop Started
153 Assembly Started
155 Production Completed
160 Released to Distribution
168 AG Stock
170 Waiting Workshop
172 Planned for Workshop
174 Workshop Entry
176 Workshop Complete
180 Waiting for Export Dispatch
181 Waiting for Domestic Dispatch
182 AG Load No. -- Released to Carrier
190 Dispatched ex(port?) BMW AG
191 Returned to BMW AG
193 Arrived at Port of Exit (where my car was stalled)
194 Selected for Shipment
195 Shipped from Port of Exit
196 Shipment Arrival -- ATA

3. Once the vehicle is listed as "En Route," you can begin following the progress in detail by other means. Once on a ship,
BMW status on their website will no longer provide a detailed update, but you can still continue to track the vehicle.

3.1 - BMW ships with several cargo lines and carriers, depending on the destination.

• Wallenius&Wilhelmsen (parent company for several ship lines listed below)
• EUKOR - a division of Wallenius Lines
• UECC - another division of Wallenius Lines
• A.P. Möller - yet another division and ship line owned or operated by Wallenius Lines
• Mark 1 Shipping - owned or operated by Wallenius Lines
• K-LINE (Usually BMW West Coast deliveries only, but sometimes ships to NY/NJ as NYK-Line) K-Line is not a W&W company
• ARC - Often operated by, or under the direction of Wallenius Lines

4. Most BMWs are shipped out of the port of Bremerhaven Germany (Known by the faithful as: "Bimmer Heaven")
Port Location:
Latitude: 53.5715° (decimal)
Longitude: 8.546° (decimal)

(Below)
Port: Bremerhaven Germany



(Below)
5. Typical BMW Shipping Ports of Call:
Here's the typical EU to NA ports of call for the weekly car transport vessels run by Wallenius & Wilhelmsen. The destination listed
on your ships itinerary will likely be the next port, and not your cars final destination.

East Coast Delivery:
Bremerhaven (port of exit)
Zeebrugge
Southampton
Halifax
New York (actually New Jersey)
Baltimore
Charleston
Brunswick
Galveston




7. Figuring out which ship your car may be on:
• The easiest way is to ask your dealer. He'll have a detailed day by day track of his allocation shipments. Just call, and they'll give you the ships name.
• In advance of that, you can get a good idea of your ship's name by backing up the schedule you were given when you ordered the car, and finding the ships who's
schedule aligns with the approximate final port of entry arrival date.

7.1 - The typical BMW transport schedule:
• Car to be picked up by you at the dealer on "X" date, for example: June 25th
• Subtract 1- 2 days at the dealer to detail the car, and install any remaining dealer options : June 24
• Subtract 2-3 days in transit from the port to the dealer, so: June 22, 23, in transit via truck to the dealer from the VPC (Vehicle Preparation Center.)
Your transport time will vary based on your distance from ports of arrival.
Ground shipping on the East Coast is commonly carried out by: "Bavarian Motor Transport," in Enclosed Freight Liners
• Subtract another 3 days, the car will typically spend June 19, 20, 21 at the VPC, at the port of entry
• Now look for ships who's itineraries list your port of arrival on, or close to that date, in this example, the Port of NY/NJ arriving sometime around June 18th.

7.2 - Ship Schedules:
The Shipping schedules are posted as a PDF at the Wallenius Wilhelmsen website, and changes, but look for the Westbound schedule chart.
(Wallenius Wilhelmsen: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...countryList.do)
K line also posts their schedules on their website as a PDF, and those are usually West Coast bound ships - but not always

8. Track your car, if shipped by Wallenius Wilhelmsen, using the VIN #:
WBAWC73569E06XXXX
http://www.2wglobal.com/www/wep/index.jsp
• Go to "track and trace" cargo section on the homepage, at the bottom right.
(as displayed June 2009, this function has changed location over the months)
• Enter the VIN in the "Cargo ID" field of the form
• Hit "Track"
• Status will be displayed once Wallenius has taken taken possession of the car and selected it for shipment.
• You will then know the ships name.
• If "no records are available" is displayed, Wallenius Wilhelmsen does not yet have your car in their possession, your car is not being
transported by their fleet, or the tracking system is lagging behind actual status - which is quite common.

NOTE: My car never was displayed on this tracking site although Wallenius Wilhelmsen is listed as the logistics carrier, and agent for my ship, operated by ARC.

9. This is the Ship my 335i was actually on:

10. Ship tracking live - status of ship locations and speeds, with ship pictures. Refreshed every 90 seconds:

10.1 - Once you know what ship your car is on, you can follow the ships progress.
http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/
Search by Vessel Name, Port, or Ocean Area.

• Click on the port from the list: BREMERHAVEN
http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/dat...ENT&level0=300

• Another site for Information on your ship:
(tracking requires sign in)
http://www.digital-seas.com/vessel_s...l_archive.html

• Another way of tracking the ship: by name and call sign
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/

For sailwx, enter the port latitude, and longitude of Bremerhaven, the port BMW usually ships their cars out of.
Latitude: 53.5715° (decimal)
Longitude: 8.546° (decimal)
Port: Bremerhaven
Location: Bremerhaven, Germany

! NOTE: sailwx data usually appears out of date by several days, if not months. As opposed to marinetraffic, which is updated about
every two minutes. I have attempted to track ships on sailwx, whose last known location was marked as "August, 2008, when tracking
in June of 2009."
The sailwx site however, is the only service that will follow your ship through the open ocean of the Atlantic.

• Ship tracking around the UK seas only, and lots of picture of the ships:
The "Marine Traffic" website often loses the ship when off the coast of England. The ship is shown as "out of range." There is a blind spot
for their tracking in this specific area, but you can follow it in this area of transit via this site when the Marine Traffic site goes blind:
http://www.shipais.com/
(this site can at times fall behind timely tracking - "Integrity" showed a "last signal" that was 48 hours old)

Wow, very nice thorough writeup

Hello and Welcome to you!

Great stuff!

All of a sudden I don't feel so crazy anymore. I need to show this to my wife to show her that I COULD have been worse during the wait...

EDIT: By the way, is that your garage at home?

Great write-up! And here I thought I was crazy about all the dirty details when I got my 330Ci. You win... you're clearly WAY more obsessive than me!

Can we make this a sticky for all new members who have just placed an order?

Great post!

Great post!

I sticky'd it!

This is great. But I still can't find my car on the W&W tracking page. I have the correct VIN, but it doesn't show up... similar to the OP's experience. Signing my papers tomorrow in preparation for PCD on the 23rd. I hope to get the ship's name then.

Thanks OP!

Yes, that's my garage at home in the last shot.
Here's a few other pictures of my garage... affectionately named; "The M House."

It even has its own bathroom!! Nice garage, its about the size of a little house. Is it climate controlled as well? Its a car house

Great and thorough, but the list of manufacturing plant codes under the VIN is incomplete. My new car has a plant code of "P," which is not on your list.

RG1 wrote:

No, it's not on the list because "P" appears to be "non specified," - the default "plant code."

P - Plant Code
A - Munich, Germany
B - Dingolfing, Germany
C - Dingolfing, Germany
D - Dingolfing, Germany
E - Regensburg, Germany
F - Munich, Germany
G - Munich, Germany
J - Regensburg, Germany
K - Munich, Germany
L - Spartanburg, South Carolina

What car do you have?
Try this source to fully decode your VIN:

Let us know what you find out... wasn't sure what that default meant, so I didn't post it.

The car that I have is in my signature -- a 335i coupe. I did European Delivery a few weeks ago. I think the 3 series coupes are manufactured in Regensburg.

BMW Gal Wrote;

Yes, it is, but this thread got sticky, so I'll post a full garage related post elsewhere on this forum to stay on topic.
Look for "The M House" garage build thread I'll post later for the divergent garage relted content about the M3's, 335i's, and 323i's home life.

Back on topic of delivery tracking.

Thanks for comments BMW Gal... full post about building my garage posted soon...

Cheers,
E46M3

Thanks for all the work writing this up. Nicely done.

1) That's an amazing write up. and i thought i was crazy for wanting to know every inch of my baby's journey

2) FML that garage is sweet!!! I think i saw it in a write up on msn.com, where they talked about amazing garages. Totally rad bro, congrats.

Great write-up, but I've been trying in vain to locate the VOLANS LEADER, whcih is the ship that is holding my 335i "hostage." I've tried vesseltracker.com, sailwx.com, and others and cannot locate it's current position. I know that it was scheduled to be in Jacksonville on July 6 and it's due on Oxnard, CA on July 19, but I'd sure like to be able to track it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Eric

Amazing!!!! My car has been sitting at the dock in Bimmerhaven since July 1. I thought I was being a little obsessive about calling the BMWUSA number everyday. I agree with CWinter. I need to show my wife what true obsession looks like.

I really appreciate the thorough write up. I was able to figure out which vessle my vehicle will be on, based on the arrival date in Brunswick, GA. I'm pretty certain that my car will be on the Don Pasquale, which is scheduled to be in Bimmerhaven tomorrow. I'm tracking that sucker right now. I'll verify with my CA tomorrow, when the vehicle should be loaded onto the ship.

Again, thanks for the great write up and congrats on the 335i. I almost went with a silver model myself.

Cheers.

Here's your ship: (see picture below as attachment)
Volans Leader is an NYK Line ship
KLINE - Usually West Coast Deliveries: http://www.kline.com/
Call Sign: 3EKZ6
IMO: 9381237
MMSI: 372884000

The sights used to track vessels rely on the "Automatic Identification System," or the AIS network. These usually function only within 50+ mile range of the port that is monitopring the traffic, thus, you need to search for "AIS Ship Tracking" sites from port to port. Try searching ports along the route to Oxnard for available AIS signals and thus your ship, or even as it passes through the Panama Canal along the way.

Fantastic writeup. My mother-in-law just ordered an 09 E91, since it's almost impossible to find wagons on lots right now. I was wondering about tracking it, since I don't think she will, and this thread gives everything we need to know.

The car was scheduled to be delivered, and awaiting my pick up at the dealer by June 15th, 2009.

This is a classic. I wish I had this post when I was tracking my car. Thanks, E46M3E92335i.

Is there anyway to track the status between the ship's arrival in NY/NJ and the delivery date? I've got a PCD scheduled for roughly four weeks after the ship's arrival.

How long does it take to paint a car? I have been tracking my car since 07/30 and since then it was in the paint shop. It says completion date (don't know if painting completion or car completion) is 08/25. I am dying to play with the car! I (believe) placed the order on 07/13. Someone please help me!!

Very impressive write-up! Can't wait to order mine!

I'm sure you probably figured this out, but the factory was shut down from around 7/31 - 8/21. The same thing happened to my mother-in-law. Apparently, once the factory reopens, they finish some 2009s before starting 2010s. It should be done now.
