Hello everyone.

I just wanted to ask if anyone else had a car on the Toscana for west coast delivery to Port Hueneme on 5/6/16

My F31 M Sport with Track handling package was loaded on the Toscana on 4/9/16.

I sighed up for SAT 15 though Fleetmon.com so that I can track the ship when its in the Atlantic. As of 5 hours ago it left the English Channel and is in the open ocean. ( I will keep the position of it updated )

Bellow are some pics too. I got a web cam pic of it in Port in Bremerhaven on the 9th when it was being loaded and also a screen shot of its last location.

The latest position of the Tascana as of 40 minutes ago

I'm on the Tongala which left just a little bit ahead of you I think, but is heading to the east coast. I've lost track of it as I don't have fleetmon, but if you wanted to give me an update I wouldn't complain!

I've found my wife has zero interest in following the progress of the vessel, but my 3yr old son is really, really into it. He loved checking out roro videos and was even acting out a little car transport scene in the bathtub, though ominously there were a few "oh no slow down or the BMWs will go in the water!!!" moments.

Here is the Tongals's last position 12 hours ago. The Toscana didn't update around this area too. I will check in the morning and update you once it pings the satellite again. But so far it says its due in Halifax at 8am on April 20th.

Here is the Tongala in Bremerhaven being loaded on 4/7/16

Tongala pinged the satellite 24 min ago. Toscana pinged the satellite 11 min ago. The two ships are pretty much neck in neck and are within 5 to 10 miles of each other.

Latest Positions of the Toscana and Tongala. The two ships are still within 10 to 15 miles of each other.

Tongala is cursing along at 17.5 knots.

Still due in to Halifax at 8:30 am April 20th

Wow, thanks for the updates and the pic. Very cool, much appreciated. I like how they're flying in formation. It's a dead heat!

No problem. My fiancé is not that into tracking where the our car is too. But I figure if im paying over 60k for a car I want to know exactly where it is lol. Plus this is my first custom ordered car and it's pretty cool how BMW lets you track the progress.

I already have Dinan a front mount intercooler waiting in the guest bedroom ( BMW Seattle had one in stock I had to buy it!) .

Now dinan just has to release the stage 3 for electronic wastegate cars

[Christinanc]

The ships are now 800 - 1000 miles off the coast of the US.

Damn it you're in the lead! Still, Halifax and then Newark are practically in sight for the Tongala. So it's getting closer.

Always good to have some mods ready before the new car even arrives. Not a ton out yet for the 340i though, so for me so far it's just a coding cable. Will order some IND front reflectors soon as well. Btw this is also my first new car purchase, so fun to follow semi-obsessively.

Thanks for the updates. I love following this. Got to imagine they'll part ways pretty soon. . . . . .

Hello Christinanc,

My F30 is on the same boat Toscana as yours. Thank you for opening up this thread and keep us updated.

Cheers.

Latest's positions of the Toscana and Tongals as of 15 min ago.

Tongala is docked in Halifax currently, and as it's back near the shore I can get free updates again. Was nice sailing with you brother. I'll keep checking this thread.

Toscana is almost to Panama. ETA 10 hours

[Christinanc]

So on Saturday I was able to make it though the horrible Seattle traffic after work just in time to watch the Toscana go though the Panama Canal .

[Christinanc]

So on Saturday I was asked if I wanted to have the port install any extra MP parts on the car since its due to arrive at the port on the 6th.

I could not resist
