The only timeline I was able to pry out of them that the delivery will be at some point over the summer, but judging from your post I am not going to hold my breath. They can’t even tell me if it’s going to be a 22 or 23.

Curious, how did you find out that your car was already built? I asked them about some self serve tracking (my buddy had this when he bought his Porsche), again got nothing.

You have probably already noticed that information about orders in the USA is completely different than in Canada. Even BMW Canada acknowledged, or at least the person I spoke with, that the information reporting to customers is poor at best. Up until the RAM issue the best information came from my sales associate, I.e. the various stages of order acceptance through production. Once built, getting good information was difficult to non existent. When I follow activity in the US it seems clear that those cars take precedence over little ol' Canada. I remain optimistic that my car will be on one of the 4 ships stopping in Halifax during April. In the end I am going to remain optimistic. I am certain this is going to be an amazing car. Good luck.
