Athens Highway Roll Call!!--Left Bremerhaven 9/12

Sp82 · 09-13-2012, 12:13 PM

***Car is here!!! pics posted ***

FINALLY-- My car got to port on 9/1, and finally made this ship. It's a Kline "North Atlantic Shuttle" that gets to Brunswick about 5 days earlier than "normal" vessels..which is a good thing. Estimated in Brunswick, GA on 9/26

Anyways I'm hoping some of the other guys that were stuck at port with me are on board as well. I'll do my best to track this ship as I have my previous cars.

A pic of the ship!

Btw I have a 2013 AW 335i Msport coming!

Nice update vikz. Im almost 100% sure I'm on the same boat with you. Just tried calling/emailing my CA but no answer but said that my car already left and looks like Athens Highway is the only ship that has left in the last few days, and since we have the same prod & port dates i'm willing to bet we're on the same boat. Now...happy waiting! lol

Sp82 · 09-13-2012, 12:31 PM

I'm sure you're on it aswell! Are you getting off in Brunswick too?

franzbk · 09-13-2012, 01:08 PM

Yep, then its getting brought down to Miami. Can't wait.

franzbk · 09-13-2012, 01:24 PM

Confirmed, I'm on the Athens.

Thank God, now you can quit spazzing out about waiting at the port.

Not like you have had an extra long wait or anything...

Sp82 · 09-13-2012, 04:02 PM

that damn wait!..

dont worry, spazzing will continue till the car is at my dealer.

franzbk · 09-13-2012, 04:25 PM

Lol

jwilly · 09-13-2012, 06:13 PM

My car is on the Athens Highway as well. Thank you for starting this tread.

Athens Highway departed Southampton about 3 hours ago---now for the loong run across the pond! Next stop, Batlimore!

franzbk · 09-14-2012, 05:53 PM

Lmao. Now its the excruciating wait. Ull probably get your car before I do given that you are in Atlanta. I'm guessing ill be receiving mine 1-3 of October. Already have H&R Sport Springs, painted Rear & Front reflectors, white turn signal bulbs and M performance grill waiting lol. Will code with all the mods and still wondering whether I should black vinyl the roof. What do u say? Still have yet to see pics of an estoril blue with black vinyl.

Sp82 · 09-14-2012, 07:17 PM

Hmm, I think it will look good-- you can always be the first and see what it looks like

Nice mods, only thing I have waiting for the car are my my wheels!

Sp82 · 09-18-2012, 11:44 AM

Athens Highway "out of range" on both tracking sites that I know of..I'm they'll be something as it gets closer to the East Coast, will update you guys! 1 week till port!

Sp82 · 09-21-2012, 07:30 AM

cross your fingers Franz/Jwilly, per Port of Baltimore website, the ETA for Athens Highway is now 9/22 7pm (This is TOMORROW!)...

I just called Kline, and they still have it as 9/24, so not 100% sure on this, but hopefully the port website is accurate!, if it is, and they unload normally on weekends, that should put the ship at port in Brunswick on Monday!...I HOPE this is true!!! I'll update you!

Sp82 · 09-21-2012, 07:35 AM

hope!

jwilly · 09-21-2012, 08:18 AM

It's possible that the ship will be in port early. My CA called Tuesday to tell me that the car would be at the dealership "late" next week. I was expecting some time the following week.
I'm looking at Friday or Saturday for pick up, if that is the case.

Thanks for the update!

Joel

Sp82 · 09-21-2012, 08:46 AM

if thats the case, it should be the same for me--I was also thinking the following week for pick up...I'm hoping for a week from today!--but again, the way things have gone for me during this order I bet it isnt early, or doesnt get to the dealer when I want it to. Lets see

thegeneral101 · 09-21-2012, 01:44 PM

I have a buddy whos car is on this boat...he won't stop talking about it lol

i'll direct him here so he has company.

franzbk · 09-21-2012, 02:59 PM

Nice update! I've been stalking the sites and nothing. I REALLY hope that the ship gets here early. That drive to Miami is going to feel like an eternity. I was looking at maybe 10/1-10/3 delivery. But hell, if its 9/28, 9/29 is gonna me mods and coding time lol. DYING...

Sp82 · 09-21-2012, 04:07 PM

so I talked to Kline import services--they still have the ship ETA into Baltimore on 9/24, and departing 9/24. She said she is not sure how it works for cars going to dealers--whether they only dischage on Monday as the port is closed weekends, or if they are infact unloaded.

so we'll jus stick to the 9/24 day in Baltimore for now, which means 9/26 for Brunswick, which probably means the week after for us.

Will wait and see.
