OT mmmm I wonder

Well my original delivery date was this weekend past but was delayed till the 3rd week of December .
I wonder if this will happen , might need to phone the salesman and get a update .
Do you think I would have been told it was on for the 3rd week by the dealers or do they don't really know themselves till say a week before .

I did order the 12th sept

I would recommend calling BMW customer service. Give them your order number and they will give you the expected build week etc and you can verify what your dealer is telling you.

3rd week of Dec should mean its being built imminently I would have thought.

3 weeks from build to collection seems about right to me.

21/10/2015 - The order was 330i M Sport, but without masses of extras which also might have helped.

That is the same day my F31 335d was built. I expect it is at port alongside your car somewhere.

I have been advised deliver to the dealer w/c 14 December.

I checked the build date with the online checker, after receiving the VIN number from the dealer.

That's fits with what I have been told

I checked Southampton Port's planned movements and the Arabian Breeze is due to arrive next on the 5th December. Our babies should be on that.

Has your dealer confirmed your car is at port?

No BMW UK, they will give you the status code if you ask (the code is 9605), you just need to give them your VIN number, dealer just confirmed deliver w/c 14/12

Joe kindly created the post above, it details his order and shows all the timeline of an order with codes.

Well I'm waiting on a call back from a graham at the dealers as the order number I have is wrong as BMW customer can't find it .

It's the number at the top of my paper work , so the dealers are investigating as my salesperson is off .

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any

Am I missing something? I can't see Arabian Breeze arriving on 5 Dec. The ship is in dock in Germany alongside other vehicle carrying vessles, according to
https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=8202355

Edit - correction: it has left and is now heading to Sweden.

How long after putting the order in should you get an update from your dealer and get a VIN number? Annoyingly I made some spec changes (nothing dramatic) and they put in a new order rather than amend the original which was made early October. They had originally said I'd get it in December but the new order meant it slipped to the new year.

Date has changed to 7th December, guess it has been delayed somewhere.
