Tracking In Oz

Finally got details for my order - I have a production number and my car is being built in week 38 (in about 2 and half weeks time).

I am in Australia, so I am guessing I cannot access BMW Owners Circle (I tried with no luck - my Prod Number is not in their DB).

I am hence wondering whether there is any other BMW global resource or database I can use to track my order ?

Question Anyone received his order in Norther virginia - Washington DC area?

Did anyone receive his order in the Washington DC / Northern Virginia area? If so, how long did it take for your car to arrive since docking at the NY harbor? My car is scheduled to dock in NY on Sep 8th...I am hoping for the 12th as a delivery date at the dealer?!

VIN Invaild Codes

I have a couple of questions regarding the VIN. I have "5" under Restraint System Identifier and "P" under Plant Code. According to the VIN chart, they are invalid codes. I’m kind of worry now. Can someone please explain to me?

Thanks in advance.

Puck724,

Thanks man! I haven't been able to find any more information on the Ace since it left Bremerhaven. Looks like we'll be in the driver's seat before long. Woohoo!

Well, my BMW dealer called today and gave me both my production number and VIN number. It is supposed to enter production next week. Problem is, when I go to the Owners Circle and enter either production number or VIN, it says no match in database. Shouldn't it show up by now?

I spoke with my salesman today and I told him the Marina Ace had arrived at Port Hueneme in the early morning hours of Wednesday, September 7th and was already in the process of unloading at the VPC. He laughed and said, "Dude! You know more about where the ship is than I do!"

Anyway, he confirmed for himself that what I had told him was true and followed up by informing me I'd definitely be driving my 330i by early next week!

I'm stoked! Woohoo!

I'm in the pee-pee dance stage now!!

Check out this link. I saved it from some older thread. It pretty much gives you the low down.

Question ED versus US delivery?

What are the average wait times for a ED compared to US delivered order?
From reading several of the posts, it appears that an order to the US takes around 7-8 weeks. How much longer would the ED take?

West Coast about 8 weeks after your drop if off in Europe. However, US delivery pre-sold cars will get priority over an ED car when it gets processed at a VPC.

I'm really concerned now. I spoke with my Salesman today and he said my car is not scheduled to reach the dealership unitl this Thursday, September 15th. This is eight days after the ship arrived. Is this normal?

MY ED 330i is on the Otello as well. I understand that customs has intentionally slowed the inspection process, so we can expect a two week delay at port.
