Small ripples in the logistics chain can turn into big waves by the time the vehicle is built and requires shipping.

I did read somewhere that the next iX3 is due to be built in Hungary for the European market, so that should help!

I’m still hoping that with the Cepheus Leader stopping in Bristol on 27th Nov the uk iX3’s will get unloaded there rather than doing the round trip to Bremerhaven for no reason to add over a week to the timescale! But then this is BMW we’re talking about!

For the long term it’s possibly not ideal that the ix3 is built in china looking at what the media have been reporting of late about china

Volans Leader has docked in Southampton this morning. The next to arrive (early next week) is Grand Duke currently moored in Zeebrugge. I'm almost certain my car is on one of them!

Is there any ships leaving Dalian this or next week?

Still status 165 for me

That would still mean delivery before Christmas though.

There were a few of us who went to 195 on October 10th, but I guess we have no idea which one of the two (Volans Leader or Grand Duke) our cars are on.

Yeah I did try Genius today hoping for a change that would indicate it had arrived on the Volans and it didn't change from 195 at sea, could update in a few days I guess but I think we're more likely to be on the Duke.

Fingers crossed they arrive before Xmas, just starting to get really annoyed with the constant delays with the shipping. Its cost me £675 this month alone for service and parts. Got MOT later this month so hopefully that doesn't cost anything above the test fee.

I also think it's more likely to be Duke

Got the following from my dealer today..

"Got the manifest. Arriving in uk on 10/12…."

So most likely on Hestia Leader

Let's hope the the NYK shipping schedule is correct and not the vessel finder ETA!

Hi

This must be great news for you.

My iX3 has been ordered since 1st June, built 12.8.22 shipped to Dalian Car Park 15.8.22. On 25.10.22 Genius informed me shipped at code 195. Can only assume my car is on Cepheus Leader or Hestia Leader.

You must have a good dealer, mine is rubbish. Has your dealer sent you a copy of the manifest?

Thanks

I

I'd be interested to know about this manifest too. Genius swear they have no access to which ship a car is on and my dealer says he can only see the same system as genius

Hopefully that was a glitch, Grand Duke is now showing arrival at Bremerhaven at 1800 tonight

He has not sent a copy. I've asked him to see if he can confirm the ship

[ev jds]

That would be really good - Thank You

I assume it is Cepheus Leader, I was told my car was shipped same date, and the only ship I saw that time was Cepheus Leader
