Ordered my 328 on 11/14, went into production a day or 2 later.I'm in south Florida. Any ideas on timeframe? When I call the tracking hotline, it says production is expected to be completed on 11/26. Driving me nuts! Any timeframe insight appreciated. Thanks.

I can't see the Track Your Order option on the bmwusa website. I have registered and logged in, but it doesn't look like your screenshot. Instead it looks like the following:

While you wait for your car, you can watch this MV Faust documentary from the Discovery Channel. You get see a lot of different BMW models in the documentary. They are packed like sardine.
Edit: video link updated to the new one that works. The old one has gone private. Last edited by Sir Loin; 06-27-2014 at 03:20 PM.. |

I take it that BMWNA doesn't let you track the production status of your car. I've done this 2 times in the past, where I could see the progress of the car I ordered. This time I can't track through the BMWNA website, I've called the 1800 # and I do get a general status that my car is in production.
Anyone know what happened to the tracking feature????

just called the 1800 number and my car has moved from production to in transit.
I'm hoping I can make the port for the July 1st voyage aboard the Don Juan but I'm thinking it will probably be the July 8th voyage on the Torrens with end of July delivery. |

Getting tracking info to appear on the BMW USA website
Tracking a 2015 335i order, I encountered some issues. I'm not sure if this is due to ordering a 2015 can early in the production before the site was ready or is due to general brokenness of bmwusa.com, but I hope this helps someone else.

I placed an order for a 2015 435 xDrive coupe on 7/26/2014. I called the 800 number today and I was told that my car will be scheduled for production during week 40. This can't be normal is it? I was told 6-8 weeks from time of order.

That's really long. I placed my order on 9/28 and I've still been waiting for production to start.

This information is incredible. After saying goodbye to my European Delivery 435i at the Paris CDG dropoff on May 20, I now know that it is safely aboard the Independence 2, currently underway between Bremerhaven and Zeebrugge then on to Southampton UK and Halifax Canada before reaching New York in 2 weeks on the 17th of June, according to the schedule. And I've learned how to track all kinds of cargo vessels, to boot. Kudos!

Something not mentioned here: if your ship/car is headed for the west coast, you can watch it go through the Panama Canal! Get the name of the ship from your CA, and even though you often can't track it across the Atlantic, you can see the estimated arrival in Panama. Check the sites again around that time and it should be picked up in the canal area, and you can track its progress through the locks. Panama Canal Live Webcams. Below is the Equuleus Leader with my 328d wagon on board, going through the Miraflores locks out to the Pacific a few days ago.
Once the ship is through, you'll lose track of it again. Apparently not much monitoring available through Central America. Hopefully it will pick up again when it nears the US. |
