Shipping to Australia from mexico

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows what Shipping liner BMW use from Mexico to Australia. I have just been told my car is in transit and given no other info. I was woundering if I can track with my vin number. I have looked through all the post about tracking you order. But can't find anything that works for Aus.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers Matt

Your dealer should be able to tell you the ship it is on, then track it that way.

In my experience dealerships say they can never track shipping. I guess if it's damaged in transport they have them to fix it while telling you it hasn't arrived

Hahah yeah would be surprised if that is the reason.
I am hoping by the time it arrives that the rear camera delivery stop is sorted.

User Data says M240xDrive.. so he may ordered a G42 2 Series which is built in SLP (San Luis Potosi) Mexico

BTW no BMW is built in NC :-)

I’m not sure if I am missing some sort of Homour. But m240 is made in Mexico. So not really sure what you are getting at.

Dunno why anyone is surprised about cars coming from Mexico, all the 2-series Coupes (including M2) are built in Mexico.

Just this week took delivery of my wife’s M240i, dealer gave me the ship so was able to track it much more accurately than the BMW tracking page.
