Well my CMS is finally on the ship Mignon.

It's currently headed to Southampton where I presume it will take on more minier MINIs

Anyone else on Mignon?

 

Mine's still not coming up
When was your produced?

 

Mine was produced the week of 11/7.

Have you checked with your SA? When I use miniusa site, it still shows awaiting transport

 

My car was produced the same week as yours. It finished production on 11/11, arrival at Bremerhaven port was on 11/18. OL currently says awaiting transport and WW says no records found.

I called my MA twice in two days to find out if he had more info and no call back from him. I went to the dealership today but must have been too close to closing time. He was in yesterday and today and I was told he left an hour before I got there this evening. I am disapointed with the lack of response.

Based on all of this I assume the car is still sitting in Bremerhanven. It would be great if it were on its way but until the MA decides to either pickup the phone or make a call back, I won't know.

 

That's a shame that you're not getting much response from your MA. Well hopefully it did make it on a ship. FWIW my OL status is still awaiting transport

 

My CM is also on the Mignon!

 

In another post it said that if you go to the WW site and enter WMWZC3C52CWM in the cargo id area it will pull up all the VINS loaded onto the Mignon. I tried it with the number WMWZC5C58CWL as mine is an automatic and it pulled up 9 pages or 491 VINs that were loaded on board.

Worth a shot, anyway.

 

Sweet!

Last check shows Mignon has moved from the Western docks at Southampton to the Eastern docks, presumably loading other cars still. Hopefully she'll start leaving port in a few days.

 

Woohoo Marinetraffic is showing next destination to be MANZANILLO, Panama... for refueling? I guess?

ETA 12-05 to Mazanillo. That's a lot faster than I thought it would move!

 

Mine was born on 11/10 and arrived at the port the same time as yours if not a day sooner. Destined for Port Huaneme in CA. My MA said it was waiting for shipping. The Mignon shows no record of it, but I'm hoping it made it on. Please keep me posted on what you find out. I was hoping to have mine by Christmas.

 

My Mini was born on 11/9 and has been waiting for transport. Mini OL is very slow to update. Use it for generalization not accurate info. I got loaded onto the Mignon and am ANXIOUSLY awaiting delivery. It's been a loooong wait. It's still going to be a long wait until Mignon arrives. At least my dealership is barely 2 hours away from Oxnard. Keeping fingers crossed for pre-Christmas delivery. I'm road tripping home for the holiday and would be the best gift to be able to do it in the new Mini.

 

I went to the dealer again yesterday and my MA was MIA again! GRRRR!

I talked to a couple of managers who said they could not track the actual whereabouts of my car over the weekend . They said that the system has been slow to update and it's possible that it's already been shipped and the system has not been updated. I'm not falling for it. I have been going to the WW site to look for my VIN and it's still not showing. I am doing a partial VIN search there are now VIN's higher than mine headed to the East Coast. I assume a higher VIN means car was produced after mine but I think my car is stuck in Bremerhaven until at least Dec 3rd which is when the next ship heading to Port Hueneme is scheduled.

While I was at the dealer I test drove a CPO 328i xDrive with sport package, cool color combo, and 16k miles. I used to have an 06 330i RWD 6 speed manual and I loved that car. I was underwhelmed by the 328. I don't know if it was the auto transmission but it felt sluggish. It also had the original run flats which probably have less than 40% tread remaining so there was quite a bit of tire hum. I was bummed because I went in checkbook and transfer plates in hand ready to ditch the CM and buy the 328. I did not pull the trigger and after sleeping on it I think I'll stick with the CM. I've already had an e90 and again it was an absolutely fantastic car, but the automatic transmission in that 328 CPO car just kills the experience. I guess I just keep on waiting.

 

Fredo,

My CM is not show up at all either, but vehicles with higher VIN's are. I have a feeling that our CM's are on another lines ship and are already at sea (thats what I'm telling myself anyway).....

Well Mignon is now at Manzanillo Panama. I'm sure they're getting ready to go through the canal

Hopefully by the 12th Mignon will be at Oxnard

 

Hmm. The 12th is optimistic. I'd LOVE that. However they are scheduled for the 15th and they've been running pretty much on time. Hopefully they get through the canal smoothly. I'm betting on 15th but hoping for 12th. :-)

 

Anyone know or may know how the find out what time the Mignon is going though the panama lock? My wife is flipping out! Thanks for the help.

 

Well she found out that they have to bid on what time they can go though. So I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

yep you are correct. mignon is now in the lakes before the locks and it's showing 15th as the arrival date at PORT HUENEME


I would say any hour now! they are waiting just out side the entrance to the lake!

Looks like this is the Mignon. (Its the ship in the background.)

Here's the link to the webcam.

Here is a pic of Mignon in the locks

 

Woohoo! Mignon is at the final set of locks to exit Panama Canal!

 

My wife got up at 7:00 am this morning to watch the Mignon go though the locks. She's getting more excited now that we are getting closer to getting her new car.

 

Mignon not showing position anymore is driving me crazy!!!! Is that it? Are we now in the dark until she drops our babies off at Port Heuneme? I can't stand the wait anymore!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

 

It will pick up again when the come close to the Baja area.

The green boxes are where you can track ships.

 

Ah. Well I hopes she gets in range in the next day or so. 6 days to go!!
