Ok, so now I'm thinking no bench and go for the bucket seats. Do the bucket seats hold baby car seats or booster seats?
And yeah, I would stick the dog in the boot. He'll be just fine back there.

I just came back from the dealership and according to them my car is still in Bremerhaven. It did not get there until the 18th so it did not make the Mignon. That means I get to wait at least an extra 16 days for the next ship going to Port Hueneme and I can kiss my $750 MotorTober rebate goodbye. 
On top of that they have a gorgeous 05 X5 with only 50k miles on the lot. That model with the 6 cylinder was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing keeping me from getting too excited about it is that it's a V8. They also have a really nice CPO 08 X3 with M sport package and only 13k miles! Both of these were on top of my shopping list but I could not find the right ones at the time. Now that I'm more or less locked into the CM and getting frustrated with the wait they're coming out of the woodworks.
I'm a little conflicted as to whether I should keep waiting or go for that X3.

My CMS made it on to Mignon. Currently at the English channel!

This helps a lot. I really want the bucket seats and was going to be really disappointed if child seats didn't fit well. We don't have any kids yet, but plan on it in the next 2-3 years. So I'll need seats that can fit a baby seat/carrier.
We aren't able to order my CM yet, but looking at everyone's pictures, and seeing the order status' and just the overall excitement is making me SO antsy!!

The booster fits perfectly, and my son loves having his "very own" seat.
I have the two-piece center rail, and I set up the rear seat rail with a cup holder, and the sunglass case (Wee Dude uses it to stash his treasures).
I almost opted for the bench seat, but to actually use the center part for a car seat was going to be close (the center part of the bench seat isn't as wide as the outer seats), I decided to go with the bucket seats. I'm very happy with my choice.

Thanks. You've just helped me seal the deal on the bucket seats with the two-piece center rail. The way I figure, if I have passengers in the back, what am I going to be passing to them anyway? Also, if I want an arm rest, I can't be passing things back and forth anyway.
2 part center rail, bucket seats, and arm rests is the way I'm going to go.

Congrats to all of the folks who made it on the Mignon. Mine got left behind at the port and my MA is not returning my calls asking if there are any ships between the Mignon and the Otello. GRRR!

I just noticed today in the owner's lounge that my status changed to "En Route" so I emailed my MA and he confirmed I am on the Mignon!
When the Mignon left Bremerhaven last week, my MA said his paperwork showed the car was still on the docks so it was a great surprise today. The WW track and trace still returns "No records found"

Same here, gonna be really upset if the CM didn't make this ship. It's been at the port for over a week now.

Still no word on my MINI - the OL still says "awaiting transport", "No records found" on the WW tracker, and ASK-MINI is closed "for the Labor Day holiday"! Needless to say, the system is a bit slow!!! I'm still hoping she got on the Figaro, but no confirmation yet.

WWL is now showing 70 VINS on the Topeka but mine is so far not one of them.
NOTE: Looks like it's only showing VIN's that have port of dischage of New York and Halifax so it might just need some more time for WWL to update.
