I have been told I can't track my car like VW and Audi but I know it's built and sat at the docks. Does anyone know which German Port they go to and which UK Port it will be delivered to dealer is southwest? Thanks

Why don't you call your dealer and ask for the tracking info?

[elliebeth]

Because they didn't even know which dock it was at!

If your dealer is Hereford, then it'll land at Southampton

Ports vary dependent on the Dealers location (everything used to go into Thorne until a couple of years ago)

Hi Mustard I'm living in Devon now but guess this will still be Southampton? Do you know where they sail from in Germany?

My father's (for Newport, SE Wales Dealer) was definitely Southampton and it's the biggest for vehicles in the UK, according to ABP, so I would be very confident it would handle Devon.

I can remember being told they came from Bremerhaven, but I don't recall seeing any paperwork to be sure.

Thanks Smuler I guess I'll just have to wait patiently for the next two weeks!

So has Thorne closed or are BMW just choosing to put fewer cars through it now?

[elliebeth]

Just rang customer services who confirmed the car is still sat in the docks but don't know which docks!

Thorne is still running, drove past last night and it looked as busy as ever. Can't answer the last bit.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to know the exact docks?

Do you plan on physically going there?

No all North Eastern cars sail to there and prep centre still do all BMW GB cars

Bremerhaven IIRC

Yep would be Southampton I would have thought, there's about 5 ports used these days

Thanks all. Based on the above I'm hoping my car is on the ship 'Honor' which docks in Southampton on Wednesday.
