Does anyone know how long after production it takes to hit the Uk.

24 hours to the docks at Charleston, up to two weeks on a boat, three days at Bremerhaven, a day to Soton,  one or two days to ship up to Thorne for a couple of days for the UK VPC then back to Dealer for PDI etc.......and over to you.

About a month, possibly less.  Depends on the boat.

Looks like MV Honor, leaves Charleston 25th, arrives Soton 15th April.  If left before 18th Mar, then it's the Elecktra due on 6th April.

My dealer said that the car was shipped on the 19th. Expected delivery 7th of April this is not looking likely.

Could it be coming from Baltimore?

No, the BMW departures all go from Charleston SC.  If you look on Google Earth you can see the car park of stuff ready to go.  There's a boat every few days.  I think there are two codes, 'Left the plant' and '
Shipped' in use now so the Elektra could be your ship.

That is the right boat detective lol. It's on its way to Germany should port there on the 31 March.
Am tracking in through an app on my iPad but at the moment it's lost in Bermuda.
