I'm with you on the Patriot. The schedule shows NYC arrival on 6/11!

xeta · 05-31-2006, 10:27 AM

My dealer lied to me!

heheh he said 6/12 in NJ but, I see that the docking port is NY and on 6/11.

You'll probably end up getting your before me since your in NY. Make sure you take pics!

The ship probably docks in NYC on 6/11 and the cars hit the NJ VPC on 6/12. That's my guess!

What did you order?

I'm a 330xi/Monaco blue/Gray Leather/Premium/Cold Weather/Auto/NAV s/iDrive/Sat Radio

Hi everyone, I'm on the patriot too. I checked the 1-800 # this morning and heard the status updated to "En Route." Pretty excited to say the least. I spoke to my dealer and he said that it should be at the VPC at 6/12, which some of you are posting as well.

Hopefully I can pick up the car 6/14! I can't wait. This is my first BMW and I'm coming from a family that primarily drove Volvo for years. Great cars but nothing like BMW.

I heard you can ask the dealer to customize the program/software for our cars, like Comfort Access. Are you guys requesting anything for your cars?

I have CA, so I'm planning on asking them to make it so that if I open a passenger door the rest of the doors won't open. I've heard they typically program it to do the opposite.

xeta · 05-31-2006, 09:43 PM

Wow, I didn't know they could program it as such. Thanks for the tip Deltron.

Hi everyone, I checked out the shipping companies website and found a nice way to view the status of the ship. You can go to this URL:

http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...oyageSearch.do

and then type this, EB622-PAT, into the field for the voyage number. Currently this is what the status looks like.

Port | Country | Arrival | Departure
BREMERHAVEN GERMANY 27/05/2006 29/05/2006
ANTWERP BELGIUM 31/05/2006 31/05/2006
ZEEBRUGGE BELGIUM 01/06/2006 01/06/2006
SOUTHAMPTON UNITED KINGDOM 02/06/2006 02/06/2006
NEW YORK, NY U.S.A. 11/06/2006 12/06/2006

Red means that the ship has docked at the port and left. Almost 9 days left!!

Ski&Board · 06-02-2006, 03:19 PM

I too am on the Patriot. It left Southhampton this afternoon. if you want a radar shot, here it is:

Ski&Board · 06-02-2006, 03:26 PM

First post, and forgot link (what a putz). Anyway, here it is:

She should be on long-range (lower left) for a couple more hours....

seahawkdriver · 06-02-2006, 03:42 PM

On Patriot too! My car is getting off at Charleston for PCD.

tripman · 06-02-2006, 04:35 PM

Hey, first post here, but just figured out how to track my VIN and I'm on the Patriot, too. Ordered 330xi/SG/premium/sport/auto/cold weather delivered to Michigan. Have driven Benz wheels for last 10-11 years, felt exhilaration (one of those "Oh WOW" moments) on BMW test drive and can't wait to get 'er on the road.

xeta · 06-02-2006, 04:43 PM

Welcome to the board Ski, Seahawk, and tripman! Glad to see there weren't just 2 of us e90post members on the Patriot. (Ski and Sea you guys didn't let us know what you got!)

Thanks for the radar look too Ski! Keep the rest of us up to date!

(I just got my package of zaino in and cant wait to use it!)

Ski&Board · 06-02-2006, 05:21 PM

Xeta,

Ordered 2006 330xi, Cold Weather, Premium, and Sport pkgs, Sat. radio prep, Rear spoiler. Deep Green Metallic (wifes choice), Beige Leather, Burl walnut trim. (It's listed as what I drive, 'cause I'm so excited)

My Zaino is in the cellar, waiting for the car! (Was susposed to be for the wifes FX35, now both, I guess).

Thanks for the welcome!

xeta · 06-02-2006, 05:27 PM

Hotness Ski! Cant wait to see pics!

OK! Its a race to see who posts their pics first from this patriot shipment!

Ski&Board · 06-02-2006, 06:48 PM

xeta- nice colors.... So you couldn't find a stick on the lot either? That's what made us order. What dealer did you go through? We'll probably be getting our cars around the same time, but I do have to wait for the spoiler to be put on, so you'll probably win...

06-03-2006, 01:22 AM

Patriot at Bremerhaven on 5/28/06 at 8:05 AM

tripman · 06-03-2006, 07:25 AM

Ski/Xeta, I've not used the Zaino product before, does it improve the appearance of the paint/finish? Do you apply yourself? Sounds like you recommend it highly.

seahawkdriver · 06-03-2006, 01:22 PM

Xeta,

Ordered at 330i/6MT/Sapphire Black/Black and Burl Interior/Premium/Sport/Comfort Access. Can't wait for it!!

xeta · 06-03-2006, 06:01 PM

Trip,

I've not used zaino before so, I plan on trying it on my jeep before I try it on the bmw. Just to make sure I'm doing it right!

b/t/w awesome pic CMD!

I too am on the Patriot. Mine is a 330i, SG, Grey Dakota, Prem, ZSP, Cold and PDC. The BMW tracking system is great, really enchances the excitement of getting a new vehicle. I am also astounded by how quick the turn around on these cars is, I ordered mine on 5/13 and it went into production on 5/15, that is astounding.
