Ordered placed on Nov 20th. Completed production on Dec 3rd. Arrived at Port Dec 8th. Left Bremerhaven on the Faust. I tracked it using FleetMon (free trial membership) as it sailed to Belgium, through the English Channel stopping in Southampton, UK and then across the Atlantic to Halifax, Canada. Finally docking in Newark, NJ on January 2nd. The car left VPC on January 7th. I picked it up at the dealer on eastern Long Island, NY on January 9th.

Others have mentioned that some of the options may not be correct on the site. Mine was slightly off and then it updated to the correct packages a few days later. |

I was just told by BMW Genius that they now longer will be giving out status codes. The Genius mentioned that this was a fairly recent policy that was implemented.
Did this happen to anyone else? |

I have not heard that anywhere else yet. If more people can verify I'll update the tracking guide. That would be very unfortunate.

I noticed that the Genius hotline has always been reluctant to give out codes like 151 Paint shop. They will confirm paint shop but won't mention 151 unless you specifically ask. |

So does having a production number mean you have been given an allocation?

From the tracking guide on the first page: "and ask for your production order number. (if your dealership had an allocation) This is a 7 digit number that ties you to the allocation. You should receive this production number within a few hours or within the next day at the latest."

Is this typical?
I placed my initial deposit of $1000 in November. My dealer told me that I would get the "first or second", depending if the owner of the dealership kept the first. So basically I'm #1 on the list. They called me on Jan 20 and said that we could now place the order in the BMW system. I did, and they charged me an extra $2000. Today, after wondering why my status has been "order documented" (still to this day) I called BMW and they confirmed that my car isn't even scheduled until 3/9 to start production.
Am I missing something? Based on the OP's timeline I wont see this car until second week of May or so (I'm on the East Coast). And this is supposed to be their first car. I'm glad I don't have to wait as long as some of the people here are, but I would have thought that I'd be driving it before then. Were all the first allocation cars supposed to hit about the same time, or does the location/size of the dealer make a difference? Last edited by bikernate; 02-26-2016 at 04:44 PM..

Cool. I guess I was just a bit optimistic about having it in April.
