Nice! I have one as well. I have been the second owner for the past 20 years with just under 37k miles. How many miles does yours have?

What do we know about the Baltimore port these days?

My 911 Targa GTS order specs locks tomorrow. The wait begins.

Deliveries to my Barrington,Il dealer will arrive in Baltimore. I'm glad that port is largely re-opened.

Does anyone have experience there? What ships does Porsche use there? Do cars move out promptly?

Thanks much folks!

Looks like I am not only who has come to the dark side.
Long time BMW owner as well, and I also had to sold my e39 M5 (owned for 19 years) to make room for the 992.1 C2T . (no point storing it at car storage place, and ends up not driving it)

Mine also through Baltimore. The car clear custom 3 days after the ship arrived (so my SA told me), then it took about 5 days to get to my local dealer. So I'd say it moved along pretty quick.
It was on SIEM CONFUCIUS

I did the same in 2021 after 35 years as a loyal BMW owner/enthusiast. BMW is not at all what it once was. Edit: I do not foresee myself ever returning to the brand. We will see.

Same. Was a loyal 5 series user for multiple cars and years, moved to E class Mercedes, never looked back. I was getting tired of the brand, then the dealer screwed me and that was the final straw.

I'm with you fellas, I had an F13 650i for several years. Was initially entertaining thoughts of the M850i, but the depreciation being exponential almost, I'm going with Stuttgart on this one.

Mine was similar came to Lober in Skokie. See dates below. For ship there's been a few common ones, upthread someone posted the schedule and how to figure out the ship one it leaves port.

Thank you for sharing this, however I do not think that it works with us Mac Users.

It works easily on a Mac. It just doesn't work on Safari - different things. If you try Chrome, all these search tricks work just fine.

Siem Aristotle just left Port Emden for Davisville RI moments ago. What confuses me is that I just got a notification from Porsche that said "Your vehicle has left the German port". We live in SW Florida and take delivery at Champion Porsche in Pompano Beach FL, their cars deliver to the port in Jacksonville or Brunswick I believe. So is my T on the Siem Aristotle or a different ship?

That ship makes 4 stops: Davisville, RI, Jacksonville, FL, Freeport, TX, Veracruise, MX

Looks like I missed the boat yet again. My car has been sitting at the port for 3 weeks now after a 1.5 month build delay.

I missed a boat too, although I'm not 100% sure I'm on the Siem Aristotle, all I know is my T. "left the port today", I assume its on Siem Aristotle as that appears to be the only ship that left Emden today. I wasn't aware that it made several stops, the website vessel finder only shows Davisville RI as the only stop in the US.
