I ordered my Countryman on 8/15, production started on 8/26, waiting transportation 9/5, but I have not been able to track it on WW yet, my MA has yet to get back to me has any one else have the same dates as mine with more information?

 

My CM is on the Toscana too and I have checked several times a day but so far I think it is too far away from any land that it doesn't show up on the AIS system. Hopefully the TS Maria won't affect the ship in anyway or delay it's arrival in Panama.

 

Yeah, I think the ship dropped anchor right in the Celtic Sea and the crew is jetting around on Jet Ski's and they're catching up on some deep water fishing...

 

Could be Somali pirates!

I hear they are ruthless when it comes to Mini hunting!

 

But they are only hunting for yours B&WCM!!!!

 

For those of you on the Toscana, it just popped up near the panama canal. Ahead of schedule I think?

 

And those of you who are on the Otello, It is scheduled to arrive in NY (Jersey City NJ) about two days later than was previously thought. Arrival in Halifax is at the end of the 13th leaving for NY on the 14th Arrival in NY 15th leaving for galveston TX the 16th. the next step is going through the BMW VDC and it could take a number of days for that. So don't expect delivery too much before the 30th of Sept.

 

Nice! I think it was planned for the canal on the 12th, so looks like an uneventful trip so far...

 

I checked this morning and the Toscana has yet to dock in Manzanillo. Then it will head on through the canal on it's way to CA. I sure hope it make it through the canal during daylight hours so I have a chance to see it on the canal webcams.

 

MY Clubman S Hampton boarded the Themis Leader on 9/6 should be in Oxnard Ca. 9/29 hopeing for delevery about Oct 10 at mt dealer .. Reef Blue Silver top & Stuff

 

Just checked the marine tracking website, and after a few s l o w days crossing the Atlantic, the Otello seems to have made a sharp turn NE away from Halifax, Nova Scotia... very confusing...not sure if we'll see the ship arrive on time here in Port NY.

Bermuda triangle this far north?

 

I just checked the Otello is right on schedule. It's due to doc in Halifax at 9:48 tonight. Ships location at 6AM was in line with Halifax.

 

Thanks M!!

Haven't been this eager for a car since my first ('69 MGB Convertible) back in college...

Just a few more days....

 

You have me beat by 9 years. My wife has never ordered a new car. Is she excited? Yes and no. She wants it but is extremely upset as she can no longer drive and she has wanted a MINI for the past 6 years (sight lost 2 years ago)

 

Anyone that is on the Toscana, I snapped this screenshot this morning of the ship moving through the first lock of the Panama Canal.

 

Thanks Blaietta... that's awesome.

 

Wow. It's kind of crazy what the internet has enabled. It's like a science fiction movie from 1993.

 

I'm pretty sure its the Toscana coming into the Miraflores Locks right now. They have a great high resolution webcam. These might be the last lock?

 

sorry, forgot link to webcam:

Here is a gif of it all. Enjoy

 

Looks like a bit of a tight fit, eh? Your wait is almost over!

 

That's cool! Thanks for sharing.

 

My CM is finally on a ship, en route--now it's just another 3 weeks til they make it to port, the check there, then transportation time to the dealership, another check there and accessory installation, then more transportation time to me.

I'm thankful that I didn't place my order all that long ago (like some did in March/April/May), I'd have pulled all of my hair out by now.

 

Cool slide show. My 2012 CM All4 is on the Toscana too. Should arrive in CA on 9/21 then hopefully arrive in Colorado somewhere around 9/28. Can't wait to pick it up.

 

Dealer called and my new CM is in Indianapolis. Will pick up tomorrow My MA was good enough to email me a picture!!!
