I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

Nice comparison, really appreciate it. Just reaffirms I made the right decision with the Tiggy :)

So you were able to get the DYNAUDIO option in AU?

Edit: My bad you're in NZ. The Tiggy has a "tough and sporty" look about it.

Tig looks much nicer, X5 seems sort of outdated. Also X5 seems to have a yellowish colour to the white when next to Tig.

It it interesting seeing the profile view of these so close, you can see a lot of similarities between the two, even the line running down the doors. The BMW has a much more rounded look which makes it look more outdated. I much prefer the sharper lines of the Tig plus the bigger wheels and brighter white makes it stand out much more.

Didn't realise how big the new Tiggy are, after seeing so many older models on the road, and they look very small. New ones look heaps longer and wider.

For those who are expecting their car to arrive in Australia from the middle the end of March (depending on which state you live in). Your new Tiguan could be on this boat (Fedora). It is currently docked in Bremerhaven and loading has begun. It has the one of the shortest amount of time to get to Melbourne (39 days instead of the typical 42-46). I am hoping that my Tiggy has made the boat as it left the plant on the 27/1 and arrived at the ports yesterday.

The next two ships to leave include the:
TAMESIS - departs 06/02 arrvives in Melbourne on the 25/03 (taking the long way round via the US)
BESS - departs 08/02 arrvives in Melbourne on the 22/03 (via South Africa).

Thanks for the updates mate. Where did you get all this information from mate. Will be handy when I am keeping a closer eye. Mine only arrives mid May

For the schedules I went to this website https://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?min...ScheduleRWD%2F
(select Bremerhaven as the departing port and the arriving is your home port - I assume yours will be Port Kembla).

In terms of the ship locations I used MarineTraffic https://www.marinetraffic.com/ you can search for the name of the port or the name of the ship.

Finally the webcam of the port in Germany can be found here: https://www.blg-logistics.com/de/kontakt/webcams

Thanks hcvo1. My car was released from production around the same date, so hoping it will be on that vessel. Although, I've entered my VIN on the wilhelmus wallenius tracking site and it doesn't come up yet.
