F55/F56 Order Status

Good question. I see that there are tons of train tracks right next to the BMW VDC in NYC/NJ, yet everything I've seen references the fact that the cars all come on enclosed truck carriers. I'm betting probably not, most dealerships won't be near train stations, so they'd still need a car carrier to get from the station to the dealership.

Looks like my baby (Justa VO) will start her long journey tomorrow.
She will be on the Aida headed to NY. Anyone else on the same ship?
If it weren't for you guys and all the tracking information, I would have no idea where she is as my MA's last words to me were, "I'll let you know when your Mini arrives."

Yay happy email from my MA:
'Ben,
Your car should arrive anytime now. It has been released to the transporter to bring it to the dealership. There is a slim chance that it could be here and ready tomorrow. Give me a call at the end of day, that way i can let you know if the car is here. ~ Mike'
I asked if there was any chance of tomorrow, I have to drive to the city the dealer is at for work, hoping to drive one car out and my MINI back! But if not, at least in a few days!

My MA handed me the manual for my F56 yesterday and I immediately found a specific page and asked him why they list features that aren't available in the US (active cruise control). He was a little confused.

Well, won't be picking up tomorrow. Apparently my car was loaded onto a truck on the 13th, but where it is now... no one knows. The guy who my dealership works with at the trucking company is on vacation, so they're trying to figure out where it went. They've been getting trucks in all week and expect more, but my car hasn't shown up yet.
Also was told that because my car has Navigation, it takes more prep time to get them ready once they reach the dealer. To turn Nav on requires a code from MINI Corporate, which can take a day to get once they have the car.

Hell, mine docked on the 29th and have been given 2 delivery dates so far, missing both now I have a "sometime" from my dealer.
Granted I am docked in Baltimore.

I think the Independence II and Don Juan each had max loads of Minis, after a bit of a drought in production, so maybe they're a bit backed up with the new higher volume? I think this part is frustrating because unlike the other steps... ya just don't know where it is!

My first Mini was docked 6/6 and arrived at dealer 6/13 damaged by the car carrier.. So I have another one on order and its scheduled to be built by June 26th .. then shipping after that

If you're on a WW ship, you'll use this link: https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...ckSearchResult and put your VIN in the CargoID field.
If you are on a K-Line ship... well not as much info. Go here: http://www.kline.com/KAMCarCarrier/S...g_Schedule.pdf to see their schedule. It looks like the Fremantle Highway was at South Hampton on the 16th, and the Columbia Highway will be there on the 20th. But the schedule is only updated once a week, so if the Fremantle was a day behind, then yesterday would make sense!

My car arrived on the Independence June 4.Will be in Albany dealer today.Taking delivery Sat. 11 AM...can't wait...
#822
Oh man! Waiting all the way until Saturday to pick it up? Did they say it would take that long to prepare, or are you not able to drive down until then? I'd be down there tomorrow night offering to assist with any preparations
#823
They told me my car will take AT LEAST 3 days to prep after they receive it. What the hell takes 3 days!? Lol
#824
My MA says 1 is the minimum, only because of how long it takes for the Nav code. When I called Tuesday and asked if there was any chance I might be able to pick up Wednesday evening, he said if it came on the truck Tuesday night, then yes. (Unfortunately, its lost!) He's doing what he can to ensure I have it to pick up Saturday... I hope. Even if it comes in on Friday. We'll see!
