The Ultimate BMW F10 Order Tracking Guide!

geneatals · 12-23-2007, 08:21 PM

so followed the instructions from page 1, used the dbh.de website, typed in the time frame of approximate ship date (sometime after 11/10/07, which was my order date) cross checked the list of ships from that with the arrival schedule into port hueneme and came up with the the sagittarius leader, arrivong tomorrow...hope my car is on that one, no other names showed up on the arrival list...if it is the time frame is correct for a mid to late january delivery seeing as how the car needs to get unloaded, shipped to the vpc, and finally the dealer...almost here...happy holidays everyone...and thanx nathan and all the other forum members for this great thread....

Anybody waiting on a late Feb delivery? As you guessed already, I am...Ordered a week before Xmas and 2 month wait to NC...anyone else suffering as I am?

Netcub · 01-02-2008, 07:08 PM

I ordered December 29th and the dealer said to expect my car the 3rd week of february.

i ordered on 12/28 and also expect late feb or early march delivery. i kind of doubt that though because i still don't have a production date. my CA thinks otherwise so we'll see.

liliej · 01-03-2008, 08:49 AM

I found that the most accurate information you can get is from the CA. That said, you need a CA who knows what they're doing. If they tell you that they don't know what ship your car's on, or what the expected ETA into the final port is, you should ask them to check with another (more experienced) CA. I did this, and my CA found out about a screen on his system he had never known about!

This is not the first time my CA has thanked me for "educating" him. Perhaps these posts should be standard training for all BMW staff!

geneatals · 01-03-2008, 01:50 PM

from the 800# i was able to find out when the car left port of exit...used this site

http://www.dbh.de/index.php?id=151&L=0

to get a list of ship names that left port that day (bremehaven) depending on ec or wc delivery and shipper used you can deduce what ship is carrying your car...

Call your CA... they should be able to pull up a screen like this...

I ordered my car (335i sedan) on Dec 15th...The owners circle still has it on order status...I emailed my sales representative today and am still waiting a reply to see how accurate this information is...Anyone else order about the same time...I know a few of you ordered about the same time, and I was just wondering about your car status...Let me know...

Misery loves company!!!

I ordered a week before xmas as well. Still don't have a scheduled production date and its going on 3 weeks already

Late Feb seems like a pipe dream now, my guess is early to mid March.

liliej · 01-04-2008, 02:39 PM

Owners Circle is always about a week behind, so it's basically useless for anyone looking for "real-time" updates. You need to call your CA, and if they are not responsive, call the dealership, and ask for another CA to help you. I did this (my CA was out for a week), and they were very helpfull. In fact, the CA I ended up talking to knew WAY more than my CA about the tracking system.

I Bought My car on 12/29 and BMW didnt receive the order until January 2nd. The Car already shows its in production and will be complete by January 10th!

Congrats! This makes me believe that your dealership had an allotment that the other poster's dealership did not. FYI... my car was in production three days after I placed the order, based on using an allotment that was close to production.

amsfoto · 01-05-2008, 12:38 PM

I placed my order two days ago and it is already in production. The 800 number says my car will be complete by 1/11!

TJW · 01-09-2008, 03:51 PM

My timeline so far is as follows:

12/17 dealer placed order for my 328xi
1/4 received prod # from dealer and OC showed as On Order

1/5 called 800# and system said 'In Production' sched to complete 1/14

1/8 called 800# and rep told me it's in 'Paper Prod. Phase' as of 1/4 and should begin actual production 1/10 or 1/11 and take about 5 days (not sure if that includes the weekend).

Dealer originally told me late January, but I'm thinking mid-Feb at this point if I'm lucky.

All this waiting even has me getting cold feet about my purchase! Not good.

KanosWRX · 01-09-2008, 03:55 PM

Don't feel to bad TJW, still better off then me. I ordered my car on the 21st of Dec and still haven't gotten a production date. It's in limbo or something. The person on the phone said maybe sometime at the end of January

Hobbination · 01-10-2008, 07:12 AM

Me to man, Week before Christmas I ordered, and now when I come into work everyday I have a ritual of calling the worthless 800 number only to yet again here "Scheduled for Production w/ no confirmed date blah blah" [Slams down phone.] I'm like over 3 weeks into this and still I only exist on paper...This sucks a$$!

Hakinman · 01-10-2008, 10:29 PM

Just wanna let you guys (especially those who ordered around xmas) know that I ordered my 335i 10 days before christmas on Dec 15, and i just received the production dated 2 days ago. And the person who i spoke to on the 800 # told me to they expect the car to finish production Jan 15. So hopefully for those of you who ordered their car few days after i did, you will get your production days within these few days.

Thanks for the info, fingers crossed

I ordered my car on November 3rd. I just now finally figured out what ship it's on from searching this site. My salesman had no idea, said there was no way for them to find what ships our cars are on. Looks like it wont arrive till Feb 8th here in California. My total order time looks to be about 4 months. The owner's circle site said awaiting transport for litterally 3 weeks. I'm on the vessel Tagus.

My car is a 328 sedan, Crimson Red, Black leatherette, aluminum trim, sport package, logic 7, sirius, usb/iPod with manual transmission. I can't wait!

Anybody else have a car on Tagus?
