Order/Production/Shipping/delivery Timeline

• Add to quote

For those who are interested, or compulsive, here is the timeline for my 2020 750. July 8 Car ordered for a slot the dealer had for week 38. I was told Azurite paint would delay production anyhow; and my current lease is not up until November. Aug 12 Assigned production number. I was told completion was scheduled for Sept 20. Sept 11 "Production begins;" car stayed in "production begins" for a week; Sept 18 "Body assembly begins" Sept 19 "In the Paint Booth" Sept 19 "Entering assembly line" Sept 20 "Assembly in Progress" Sept 20 "Quality Check" Sept 20 "Final assembly" Sept 20 "Ready for Transport" Sept 20 "Awaiting Carrier Assignment" (the explanation says "a carrier has been assigned.") Sept 23 "Dispatched from Factory" Sept 24 "At the port" October 2 Loaded on vessel "Toledo" Boat tracked on MarineTraffic.com October 5 BMW phone tracking says "in transit" (I knew I was actually on the boat) Confirmed with Wallenius Willhemson site. Original estimated arrival in New York - October 16 Revised estimated time of arrival - October 17 (storm in the Atlantic slowed things down) October 17 Arrived New York October 17 "Discharged" (about 11pm) (from Wallenius Willhemson site) October 17 "Delivered From" (about 11pm) (also from Wallenius Willhemson site) October 20: the BMW on line tracking app is still showing the car "at the port" and did not move to "in transit" until it was unloaded in NY. October 21: BMW phone tracking says car is "in transit" October 21: BMW Genius confirms that car is at VDC; cannot give delivery date other than outside estimate, which is Nov 17. A month at VDC??? October 22: Dealer confirms car is at VDC and says they will attempt to expedite October 22: BMW online tracking still shows car "at the port." October 23: Online tracking still shows "at the port." October 24: Dealer informed me car will arrive by Monday or Tuesday Oct 28 or 29 October 24 Online tracking now shows "in transit." I believe the way the site works "in transit" means the car has left the destination port. However, the phone system reported "in transit" after it was on the boat leaving Bremerhaven. October 25: BMW app reports car is "At Dealership"; Oct 25 is a Friday. Dealer says they are awaiting title, expect it Monday morning and I can pick up Monday afternoon October 28: Car picked up. :thumbup:  

How did you manage to confirm your car on the WW site? Having trouble with mine  

PM me. There is still a way to put in the VIn and confirm the boat you are on. After that, it is tracking the boat through 3d party sites like Marine Traffic.  

In what town was your dealer located?  

suburb of New York  

The reason why I asked was because I have a vehicle coming arriving in a few weeks and I was trying to get an idea from your timeline as to the time it arrives in the Newark to the dealer. Could you narrow down your answer to Long Island, Westchester or points North? Thanks.  

Long Island. But once in port the ability to track is gone. In my case, if I am remembering right it took about 5-6 days from Newark to the dealer on Long Island. That's a 2 - 2 1/2 hour drive even with bad traffic. The dealer will want a day or so to prep it and they also have to wait for the title paperwork, so I think it was a about a week from Newark to my delivery. That was with nothing unusal to be installed at the port. The other variable is the availability of space on a carrier truck as they will usually want to group cars going to the same geographic area. Hope this is helpful and not just "it will get there when it gets there." At most points in the whole process, until the very end, I knew as much or more than the dealer knew.  

Thank you. Very helpful.  

I found the beginning post very useful. Anyone tracking a recent or upcoming build? What's your timeline look like? Just curious to see how fast/slow builds are moving during these challenging times. Is COVID causing build/transport delays? Was/is your 7 series build status on track?

Thanks for the feedback, Pretty fluid timeline, and nice to hear that your build arrived safely, and you are already enjoying it.  

It is pretty fast, looking at the fact that this is tracking information of a car. It was assembled and delivered to you faster than my parcel from China. Four months ago, I ordered some details for my 3D printer from AliExpress. Usually, I use packet tracking to check the parcel's status, but this time I didn't really wait for all that stuff, and I forgot about the order. Last week the delivery guy gave me the parcel, and I even wondered what it could be. It was delivered so slow that I even forgot about it.

I learned something new today. I thought awaiting carrier assignment meant BMW/Mini were setting up the boat it will go on. I bet some of you did too. Nope! Awaiting carrier assignment means they are deciding which carrier will "carry" the car from the factory to the port. Get it, carry vs ship! Once it is at the port it is assigned a ship. I think the ship is assigned after the car is on it.

Which means after this status, the vessel info should be in the system even the car is still at the port waiting to be loaded onto the vessel. Right?

What are the status codes for those? They don’t seem to match what I’d been given (and which are the same as on the ten-plus year old MA/NAM threads)

Lol mine went from 037 to 150 to 182 just like that and with little info from my MA, so I’m just curious if the codes have changed.

Tommm check again. I was at port since May 17, yesterday showed in port, today now showing in transit! I believe it's heritage leader, not rhea leader.

Tommm said: ↑ No idea. They are from the timeline on my mini garage, track my mini. Maybe you can cut and paste, and add the status codes, or insert them where you think they would go. Here is what track my mini has.
