Im in the same situation. Mine was done on July 5th, still no ride over.

From what I'm reading it seems like there will be a few ships heading to North America end of July, I'm sure ours will be on one of those.

It appears to be a Mitsui lines ship, I think the VIN tracking is only available on WW line ships.

Figure a few days from then to get the car to your dealer.

Just an update on my order timeline since my last update on the 17th:

6/9 Ordered (but dealer had no allocation)
6/24 Order accepted, week 29 production estimated
7/12 Production started, estimate 7/20 complete
7/17 Body shop, serial number assigned
7/18 Paint shop
7/19 Final assemply
7/20 On its way to the port of exit (but it's been like that for the past 4 days)

From the VIN, it seems my car is coming from Regensburg, so hopefully it makes it on time for the 7/29th ship like Weaselboy's!

I don't know what they are doing over there... but it took FOREVER for my car to get to the port. My car was completed on July 10 and finally got to the port yesterday (July 23). So it does looks like we will be waiting for that July 29th ship after all.

Port Delivery: ?

Alright.

So my dealer lied to me. Gave me a production number that is for dealer stock and the General Sales Manager told me there is no 2014 ordered for me after I found out it was dealer stock. Has no idea what was going through my CA's head and the SM who assured me it would be taken care of.

I've been strung along since May on this deal, and they keep on screwing up, lying, being sneaky. The GSM calls me at 9:30PM and tries to get me to buy the 2013 I originally ordered, but was an SA build I told them specifically I didn't want, due to build time frame, etc. He tried waving $1000 in my face to come off the price. (He could give me $5K off, and I wouldn't buy it.)

Most likely going in on Saturday to get my money back, and telling them to stick it up their ass. Herb Chambers in Boston has a 2013 very similar to what I ordered, but extremely loaded (which right now, I don't care about the price).

I'm not waiting another 2 months to be lied to by a half-ass dealer. I was considering even buying an S4, but realized BMW didn't do this to me.

Sorry for the rant guys.

Where do you get this level of detail?? I placed my order two weeks ago... Production has yet to start but I'd like to track it through the production process...

Where are you getting your timeline from?

MyBMW switched to production started on 8/20 and didn't list an end date. The 1-800 number says expected completion 8/28. Wouldn't our cars need the same amount of time since its an assembly line? Or is MyBMW not accurate and my car started a couple of days before?

I got the expected production completed date from the 1-800 number. The guy on the phone told me it could take anywhere from 1 week up to 3 weeks depending on the specs of the order.
