Hi mate - I'm U.K. based. I've been given a 22/10/2020 delivery date at the moment!

I found the information by a combination of looking on the internet at previous deliveries of cars from the U.S. to the U.K. and Europe to the U.K. - this one's a good one:

https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1380961

Getting constant updates from my dealer on when the Status codes changed - per my original post, then looking up the container ship lines (WW) - https://www.walleniuswilhelmsen.com/schedules

and then mapping the container ship to the dates given until I could narrow it down to the right ship.

I also used the shipping tracker tool: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...ry:32.4/zoom:8

This is great to see the live tracks of the ships.

Hope that helps and happy sleuthing!!

My M50i left the plant on the 11th Sept bound for the UK. Dealer said it arrived in Brem on the 9th. I don't think the Thalatta sailed from Charlestan so pretty sure were all on the Titania. Titania has been refuelled in Zebrugge today, next port is Le Havre before heading to Southampton reckon arrive on Wednesday. Nearly here !!!

I'm either Titania or Monza - we could be on the same ship!!

Looks like you could also be on the same ship!

What colour and spec did you choose for the M50i? Love that car.

Yep, pretty sure we're on the same boat!

I went for;
Tanzanite Blue, black shadowline
Ivory Merino, piano black
Glass controls, sky lounge
Laser lights

I've got 746 wheels but love the 818 wheels off the X5MC (in case you want to swap )

What colour combo is yours?

You have great taste! I would have pretty much specced the M50i like that - I have Carbon Black / Ivory on my current X5.

My X5M is the Following:
- Tanzanite / Silverstone / 818Ms
- Comfort Plus Pack (Acoustic/Sun Protection/Soft Close/Ventilation)
- Sky Lounge
- Driving Assistant Pro
- Electric Towbar
- Luggage Compartment Net

Really looking forward to it now!

You did indeed! Half Term break though so worth a holiday if you can still do it.

That's a fantastic spec - DG was my second choice colour and I agonised over it! Love that colour it looks amazing in real life - haven't yet seen a picture that does it full justice!

Enjoy and lots of pics when you get it!
