Its neat to order one just the way you want it, know the progress of the build and go to the dealer to get it. The problem is.... its not here yet. Hurry up and wait again. Sheesh. Next Update: Ordered a pair of PIAA 520 crystal ion fog lights and PIAA All terrain pattern driving lights. soon to order the VIP quad light mount. Lights should be here next week. I'll keep you posted..... Here is a good site that will guide you in tracking your MINI (or other BMW products coming through Germany). My CMS4 is either waiting at Bremerhaven on the docks or is already on a ship; not sure because there is a lag before data is updated.

At least they say so on their web site. That explains why I could never find my car on their track and trace site.

The satellite image is very old, and the "Osthafen" port has been partially filled, with a new bridge crossing the tracks into that newly filled area. This new bridge is the bridge you are seeing in the webcam.  I have made a new diagram to explain exactly what you are seeing and where the webcam is located.  Hopefully for those who are visually observant, or OCD like me :), will appreciate it. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii180/nfr21/correctionbremerhavenbmwtracking.png Sources: http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/13848199.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/8365722.jpg Not sure if anyone cares, but the description of the satellite image above of the north port of Bremerhaven is wrong, as Ciaran pointed out (I wish I had seen his post earlier, because I spent an inordinate amount of time sorting it out myself…).  I literally got a headache trying to match the satellite image to the webcam.

And he is requesting a white BMW 3 series (I forget which one exactly) and they didn't have it on the lot so they are making him pay $400 dollars for them to get a white one to their dealership. We don't know where they're shipping it from either. Is that normal? I have a friend who is buying a BMW at a local dealership.
