Morning Courier

bradleyjb · 04-20-2015, 12:50 AM

Hello all, pretty new to the forums, waiting to find out if I will make it onto the Morning Courier, so I can wait 4 more weeks for my car. Things have gone pretty well so far, so keeping my fingers crossed. Order was placed on 3/18 and production started a week later. Seems like I got lucky on timing. I bought from Rusnak BMW in Thousand Oaks.

My build:

Austin Yellow/Full Black Interior
Drivers Assistance
Exec
Adaptive M
Moonroof
HK
Black wheels
6MT

I am coming from a 2009 335i. It is going to royally suck if I dont make this boat ...

Are you at the port already? My order has been at the port since Monday I think I have a good chance to get loaded on this ship hopefully.

bradleyjb · 04-20-2015, 01:07 AM

Yes, got to the port on Monday as well.

philthy84 · 04-20-2015, 01:13 AM

Nice. Luckily for you being in LA you might be able to take delivery within a week of the ship arriving at port.

DiscoWagon · 04-20-2015, 01:14 AM

Mine has been at port since Sunday, it better make it on this vessel!

DiscoWagon · 04-20-2015, 11:03 AM

Vessel schedule is delayed one day from when I checked last week:

YMB_M3 · 04-20-2015, 03:50 PM

how do you find the schedule of ships coming to the west coast? I just started production today with an estimated completion date of May 4th and just want to see if there will be a ship available right after production ends for my car to get on

Assuming you are on WW line go here and search by port:

Morning Courier has left Belgium for Bremerhaven, Germany. We will find out soon if our cars made it on this ship.

Ayeee a fellow Ventura county member!! Congrats on your M4/3!!!

cyber4n6 · 04-22-2015, 03:30 PM

Mine has been at the port since last Thursday and I have been tracking this ship since yesterday. I noticed it starting doing circles today and then noticed this:

Vessel Type: Cargo Vessels MORNING COURIER 2015-04-22 19:00 2015-04-24 13:18

It was expected to arrive on 4/22 and is now 4/24, so I'm not sure what the delay is.

Agreed. Now it's arrival is 2015-04-23 05:04 so I assume this is a moving target!

bradleyjb · 04-23-2015, 08:40 AM

Well, it's there. Now it gets interesting ...

The vessel is underway!

Tracking is not working for my VIN yet, but hopefully my car is on there.

I just noticed as well. If you wildcard it, it appears to not log and/or display all of the cars in it's inventory anyway

WBS3C9C54FP%

According to that, only 2 cars are on that ship from this port since it docked and that clearly isn't correct.

cyber4n6 · 04-23-2015, 05:17 PM

And I just noticed you are in SD as well DiscoWagon. Looks like we ordered similar cars. M3, 6MT, etc. Where did you purchase yours from?

Got mine from BMW Escondido. What about you?

Edit: **Whoops I meant Encinitas

cyber4n6 · 04-23-2015, 08:59 PM

Me too... looks like we might be picking them up around the same time. Who's your CA?

bradleyjb · 04-24-2015, 09:57 AM

I'm on the boat! Tracking seems to be updated. 5/14 arrival, hopefully have it a week later.

Same here! I just checked using my VIN, happy to have made it but now we enter the toughest stretch of the waiting game IMO. It will be worth it, cant wait to have a brand spanking new ///M for the start of summer!

DiscoWagon · 04-24-2015, 11:02 AM

My VIN is confirmed on the boat as well!
