Thank you very much for your prompt reply

Can someone please let me know which tires my new baby got and what the status of it is?

W1KZF6BB6NB050670

Thanks in advance!

CincyMBGuy

It made it to port Saturday, no ship assignment yet. The build sheet shows "Summer high performance tires" but not the brand.

Garydchi

Thanks for the quick reply. Is it possible to see from the VIN what size screens it has inside? The standard 12"or the smaller 10" that I heard some received due to shortages?

CincyMBGuy

You have the standard screen. Your car does not have credits for any missing equipment.

Garydchi

Thanks for the great news. Just can't wait until I get a boat so I can watch the car float across the ocean.

CincyMBGuy

That can be a perilous journey as of late.

My VIN ends in MB000329. When I use the lookup tool here (or other sites) I can't correlate that to anything practical (probably because I also don't know how to read the FAQ).
At first glance I guessed I had the 329th build but that feels dumb when looking at everyone else numbers. I guess I'm surprised by all the leading 0's and don't know what to make of it.

MB uses sequential numbers for their chassis codes. For example, all W213's built in Sindelfingen (Plant code A, B, C, D, and E) will start sequentially with A000001 for the last seven digits. Once A999999 hits, it rolls over to B000001, then B999999 would roll over to C000001, etc. Usually you don't see much beyond B because MB doesn't build much more than a million cars for a particular version before the new body comes out nowadays. So your car is actually, give or take, closer to around the 1,000,329th version of the W213 built at Sindelfingen.

Can anyone help with the status of PO 0270647001

Haven't gotten the greatest updates from my sales rep. Was supposed to be manufactured in early/mid Feb. Many thanks!

CincyMBGuy

You boarded the Talia on 3/1.

Many thanks!

Looks like my boat docked last night. Can someone please get me an updated status? Just trying to figure out when my baby will arrive.

CincyMBGuy

It has not been off loaded from the ship yet.

Garydchi

As always, thanks for the prompt update. Anyone know how long it takes to offload the ship and get the estimate on arrival? I'm literally bouncing off the walls waiting.

CincyMBGuy

Those boats have a lot of cars. Unfortunately, someone has to be last.

Garydchi

Yup, and it's probably me. Are the cars offloaded at the port of Baltimore or Dundalk? I saw the boat moved from Baltimore to Dundalk overnight and wasnt sure which was the offloading point.

CincyMBGuy

They're offlloaded in Baltimore. Unfortunately, (again) they may not have even started on the ship after taking a look where it is. If you're tracking it on Ship Tracker or others, once you see it docked just West of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel then they're getting to work.

billhMB

Know your feeling. I have an E53 Cabrio arriving in Baltimore presumably tonight. Of course following the boat, it's original ETA was Monday/Tuesday. Will be interesting to see how long from boat to dealer. Hopefully no extended time at the VPC! Have too much info at our hands these days. It will get here when it gets here.

Garydchi

It was docked there for 2 days then last night moved across the channel to dock at Dundalk port on the east side.

Garydchi

It must be unloaded by now - the boat is on its way to Portsmouth.

CincyMBGuy

I'm sure it's off the ship, but it has not been checked into and received by the VPC yet.

Garydchi

Unless the sea pirates got it and buried it on some Caribbean island with their other treasures

CincyMBGuy

I just realized I'm looking for a car off of the same ship that isn't showing at the VPC yet.
