All aboard the Morning Cara headed for the US West Coast!

Looks like my M4 has been loaded on the Morning Cara at Bremerhaven. I was just doing my daily shipping line status check, and my VIN came up when I searched the W&W shipping line tracking! It's cool that I was able to find the shipping info without having to contact my dealer or BMW.

FYI I dropped off my car in Munich on 5/19.

LOADED ON VESSEL BREMERHAVEN 29-05-2015 19:19:05 1
RECEIVED AT TERMINAL BREMERHAVEN 29-05-2015 06:55:07 1
BOOKED BREMERHAVEN 21-05-2015 18:12:15 1

Anyone else on the Morning Cara?

Yep. My car got to the terminal a few minutes after yours.

I'm looking at the webcam right now and the Morning Calypso is blocking the view of the Morning Cara.

Congrats. I'm also waiting for a vessel. Which field do you enter the vin on the w&w site? Is it the entire vin?

Entire VIN in the Cargo ID field on the tracking page.

Cool thanks. Mine has been showing 'at port waiting for vessel' for two days. Nothing on tracking yet. Hopefully that will change soon.

I think about a week is normal. Some have been shorter or... dramatically longer, but not usually. Best of luck to you

You were spot on!

Found out this morning my car has been received at the Bremerhaven terminal with an ETA of 6/24 at PH. Looks like we should get our cars by July 4th.

Sweet! So you're on the Morning Cara then? You will probably get your car by the 4th, but I probably won't because I did ED. The customs takes like an extra week with ED cars

Sweet, congrats!! I would love to do PCD, but I didn't want to wait any longer! Hehe

Actually this is the status right now. So looks like I'm not loaded on a boat yet. But above the status it shows the Morning Cara boat. So looks like I'm still waiting for a boat but MC already left?

RECEIVED AT TERMINAL BREMERHAVEN 01-06-2015 12:26:46 1
BOOKED BREMEN 28-05-2015 11:13:42 1

Originally I was supposed to do ED but my dealer messed up so the car is coming straight to the US. Instead they provided me with an M4 rental when I get there later this week.

Yeah it sounds like you guys are at the port and have a ship assigned, just waiting for the ship. You could search by port to see when the next ship is that will be hitting your port in the USA.

Man, that is the best way to pass the time waiting for your M4, driving someone else's M4 all around Europe! I'm jealous!

Looks like mine was actually loaded on the MC yesterday even though status shows it got loaded today. I got this from the 800 number representative. So looks like I made it aboard. I'm pretty sure your car is next to mine

This should be the best rental experience ever. Also nice thing is by the time we come back to the U.S. in two weeks my car should be crossing the Panama Canal so no long wait to deal with. Can't wait!
