Track My Bmw!

Vegetable · 04-29-2014, 08:56 PM

Hi yall... I'm absolutely obsessed with tracking my BMW's build on BMW's website. I literally check its status every hour- 3x per hour. I ordered my 435i M-sport MT 4 business days ago and am wondering if there are times where I don't need to check, e.g. at 2 Am because BMW in Germany is closed. Right now it's still in the order documented phase and I am so anxious for it to go into the production phase that I got a script for Xanax to help me out through the process..

Thanks!!

I know it's going to be.. I'm currently driving around a 2005 Toyota Corolla MT right now because I "money shifted" my 328 (sad (( and embarrassing)) story) so it's going to be that much more anticipation to get back into a fun-to-drive car.

The online tracking system is very slow and usually is 48hrs+ behind whats actually happening. Use the phone service instead, it is much more accurate and if you have further questions you can even talk to a person that can give you up to the minute details.

Haha.....been there my friend. It will get better.

How are you all doing this?

drkeng · 04-30-2014, 12:51 AM

order placed 2/22
production starts 5/4 (hopefully…and hopefully no more delays)
this wait has been quite painful; can't wait to see the status change
hope to have it by calendar summer

Mobster1983 · 04-30-2014, 12:57 AM

I ordered in June and received in November, a six month wait.

Throughout that entire time, there were only three updates on the website. Almost worthless.

Meds · 04-30-2014, 01:51 AM

We can't even track in the UK like you can in the States :-(

Wow. Was there any explanation as to why it took so long?
I cancelled my EBII 435 order last week because BMW took over 5 months to deliver my car and next month the 2015 order guides will probably be revealed.

I hope the OP gets his car in less than 2 months.

Which website you use to track production of your car?

exclusivo · 04-30-2014, 11:07 AM

ordered 2 weeks ago but my build is part of the May allocation, so hopefully I see some movement on the tracker in the next week. Im on the east coast, so 2 weeks on the boat...

64-bit · 04-30-2014, 11:22 AM

It is painful, I did euro delivery... Bought the car in march, may/2013 got built and I pickup the beauty at BMW Welt on june, those were very very long months.

In don't think you will see any update on your car till two weeks after you placed the order.

Youtube is your best friend now, you will find a bunch of reviews there.

remrk · 04-30-2014, 12:25 PM

Ordered April 26. Just called the 800 number and it says my car is in production, to be completed on May 8th. This is a SA build. When can expect delivery to the dealership?

MickAv8r · 04-30-2014, 12:56 PM

Trust me relax. As above, the website online tracking is next to useless. My car is on the boat that left port yesterday, according to W&W. BMW's phone system is still reporting it as in port. Usually the phone system when it does report a new status its usually mid-day.

Its actually pretty surprising that there is so much lag in the system. In theory making such reporting almost real-time would be pretty simple, even a daily status would be easy.

That said, W&W shows my car was booked for the ship on the 28th and "Received at Terminal" today the 30th. LOL. The boat sailed yesterday, so it looks like even their paperwork lags by a day.

If the phone says its in production, its not going to update again until the day of, or day after the production has completed.

drkeng · 05-03-2014, 04:06 PM

FINALLY!!

:

wonder if I should have gotten more options???
just kidding; it's waaaay longer

JV973 · 05-03-2014, 06:11 PM

Order mines on 3/22, heard that it was suppose to be on the port yesterday but no word yet. It's cool thought I been patient, I know is not easy.
