So my new F56 is sitting at the port of Baltimore. I seem to recall a previous post somewhere where the poster was able to get the schedule of the truck that was going to transport their car to the dealership. My MA gave me the "I'll call you when it shows up" response when asked how long until I can see it. Any hints on getting the shipping schedule?
Thanks
Thanks

MA says it got selected for random QC checks and it has not been damaged. I'll have 90 days in the process this week. My first and last time to have one built. It's been absolutely ridiculous.

What day was your build date on your Roadster? Mine was 5/14 headed to Brunswick too. Unfortunately mine is lost and after 3 weeks, they are going to finally look for it. Maybe mine is sitting with yours.

Hmm, website being slow is normal. My car was loaded on 6/1 but the owner's lounge didn't realize it until 6/3 or 6/4? Was the call center the automated one or were you speaking to a real person? Automated isn't going to be any better than the website, but a real person should be able to see it was really loaded. My MA knew it was on the boat on 6/2.

My car has been at distribution center since May 23rd. I think they drove it into the Atlantic and the search is on. Thinking about waiting now and ordering a 2015 this fall.

Can't wait to see photos! I'm sure it will be a good drive back home. :D
Yippee Skippy! Delivery-Day is tomorrow! 
(no disrespect to D-Day vets)
Unbeknownst to our MA, our car got put on a transport and arrived in Portland late last night. So much for a heads up so we could try to book a flight and hotel with a few days notice... Will head out to the airport at O'Dark-Early and expect to meet and greet the new addition to our fleet midday...yes, we are psyched!
BTW, those in SoCal who got 2 antennas were lucky. Confirmed that ours will only have the standard, long antenna. We're keeping our short, sport antenna from the '09...per our MA trying it out, we just need to use the bigger adapter/fitting to make it work on the '14 MCS.
So, original order date (3/29) to delivery date (6/6) was exactly 70 days (10 weeks) and from re-order date (4/8) to delivery date (6/6) was exactly 60 days. We had been told 8 - 10 weeks with 3 weeks in transatlantic shipping. They were pretty dead on.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for their ship stalking skills and supportive comments. Hope to meet some of you in the future at MINI events. Good luck with your deliveries and Motor On!
P.S. Will try to figure out how to post pics when we get back.

No, My MA can't seem to find out what goes on with the car at Brunswick center. I'm close to giving up and waiting 90 days and ordering a 2015. MINI USA has an estimated date for the dealer to have the car. That is today.

Oh yes. Ordered so far: LightInSight, the 'Rubbish' bag, a crapton of car cleaning/detailing supplies (and I 'practiced' using them this weekend on my current car and my girlfriend's car). Holding off on official accessories in case the dealership wants to throw in any

No time frame yet. I agree with you, seems like it'd dock late tonight. No idea why they'd say Thurs/Fri, WW website clearly says its due to arrive on the 11th and depart on the 12th, so Wed/Thu might make sense. I planned to pester my MA on Thursday to ask if he has an estimate on when it'll be at the dealership and what the turn around time is once they receive it! Hoping to pick up on the 20th or 21st at the latest if all goes well.

I ordered the license plate frame from cravenspeed. I dont want to drill holes in the bumper. Looking for something for the seats. My dog will be in the car alot.
What products?? Ive been reading the detail pages all day. I have some Griots from the Ferrari...but Im always looking for something different.
