Shipping Times from Bremerhaven

[04_Euro_Delivery]

OK, I'm a little antsy. After spending some 800 miles behind the wheel in Germany, I'm ready to do it again Stateside.

I know the Owner's Circle is increadibly inaccurate. Some of you all have posted links to the actual shippin itinerary for the ships. I can't find it for some reason, can anyone help???

Also, I looked at my toolkit before I left. It appears that there is a tool missing. If you open the kit...what goes in the topmost position. It looked like it had a long handle.

Many thanks!
Steve

I think it's this bar you use to help make tire changes easier cuz the wheel hangs on it or something. I believe it's missing on all US cars. You gotta buy it from the dealer. And there's also a hole for the key for wheel locks too I think.

See if this is what you're missing:

You're right, I don't think I have that. What goes to the left of the arrow? That looks like a big channel for something else.

That's the place for the Euro popup orange warning triangle. They don't meet USDOT Specs and get pulled at shipment unless you carry it home.

Mine took 5 weeks from dropoff in Munchen at Harms until pickup at the dealer here.

Hmmm. My triangle was in a blue box mounted on the driver's side in the trunk. Weird.

5 weeks That's like forever. Do you happen to know where people are pulling the manifests from? The guy at Harms looked at me like I was on crack when I asked him!

I tracked mine here:

Select Auto, Enter your VIN as the Cargo ID, Track

However, since then I have heard that BMW is also using an additional shipping company, so your car may or may not show up on this site.....
