X5MP - Tracking UK Delivery

Hi All -

I know this looks to have been done a bit previously but has anyone tracked their UK X5M delivery recently? I am trying to work out what date in likelihood my car will be delivered as I'm bored and have OCD tendencies!

I've run a little spreadsheet and done a bit of tracking of Wallenius Wilhelmsen ships and have come up with the following:

Build Date Stage Description
25 July 2020 1100 Scheduled
14 August 2020 1200 Scheduled for Production
31 August 2020 5055 Confirmed by Production Control
12 September 2020 5500 Assembly Complete
12 September 2020 9000 Departed Plant

So if the car has Departed Plant on 12 September, I am looking at being shipped sometime in September to Bremerhaven/Southampton.

Looking at the WW Schedules (https://www.walleniuswilhelmsen.com/schedules) - it could therefore be on one of a few ships:

- The "Boheme" left Charleston on 13 September (tight!)
- The "Titania" left Charleston on 20 September
- The "Arc Integrity" left Charleston on 23 September

Question for those that have tracked previously - what is the most likely RoRo candidate? I'm thinking Titania but would welcome anyone with some experience of this!

Thanks!

Try to find the cut off date for these vessels. The cutoff date is last day the port receives shipments to be loaded on the vessel. The one closest to the departure date is your vessel

After a bit more digging it's most likely on the ARC Integrity, possibly on the Titania.

Does anyone with tracking experience know how quickly the Status codes change when the ships dock? i.e. When should I look out for a change in Status?

Went to 9610 - Port of Exit - today!! 🤩🤩🤩

Guessing it must have been on the Endurance - which was a week earlier than thought and even better - they must have made my car on my Birthday 🎂

So should be on the Thalatta from Brem to Southampton - arriving in the U.K. on the 10th October - getting very excited now!

It’s been at that status since the 14th of September 😭

I was since 12th September so you are only a few days behind - you could be on the Titania. I was watching her closely as thought I mine might have been on her. She has been doodling back and forwards outside Bremerhaven since Sunday night. Bremerhaven must have been full for RoRo carriers!

I think she's just had clearance to dock into Brem as she's heading in now. You may go 9610 tomorrow/Thursday!

Thalatta is due to leave tonight - will find out tomorrow I guess if its on it. My Dealer has been truly excellent with providing me updates - he sends me a little video of the order screen whenever there is an event change.

Mines still departed plant ��
Expected delivery has gone from the 2nd of November to the 23rd.
Crazy really that it only takes a few days to build the car but months to deliver it.

From what I've read on here it can go back and forwards time wise quite a bit. When it goes 9610 that's when it firms up.

To while the time a bit - what spec did you get in the end?

I am actually getting the 3 series 330i m sport, with a couple of packs. I have the Audi A4 at the minute and I drove the C Class but the BMW was quieter and had more advanced technology. The C class seemed out dated imo. So long as you are getting something better than before you are on to a winner ��. You getting the x5? Nice

Sorry to hear that mate - but can't your dealer tell you approximate times if its been built? They should know surely.

Excellent! You will be on the Thalatta most likely - its currently in Zeebrugge and gets to Southampton on the 10th.

45e is an excllent car - test drove one a while back and thought it was amazing - best blend of power and economy out there today in a PHEV and particularly in an SUV!

That's pretty much the same build date as me - I think mine was built on/around 3rd September. You could have been on the Endurance with mine!

I read this thread this morning, took the dog for a walk and when I turned the TV on, they were showing the ship that you've mentioned.

BMW's going one way and Range Rovers going the other.
