Last week my BMW Canada dealer gave me the VIN number for my M550i, and they said the car should have been completed by Mar.22, 2019. They say they expect the delivery to me to take place in the first week of May, perhaps even as early as the end of April.
Sounds to me they are just guessing.

I've got two questions:

(1) At what stage of the production of a vehicle does BMW issue the VIN number for it ?
(2) Keeping in mind that we are talking here about a car for Canada, how can one do production and shipping tracking using the VIN number, if it can be done at all ?
