Since most dealers are useless, I did my own research from the date the vehicle order status changed to 165 - pretty much checked all ships that set-off to Bremerhaven from 3 main ports in US, focusing on Charleston and bingo - located the only vehicles carrier, making it a no-brainer to safely assume my car is there |

Have the VIN number and it's showing up correctly on http://www.bmwarchiv.de/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html Says in production as of 8/4/14 which, hopefully, has it delivered on schedule at the end of May (early June..) |

Mine was ordered 14th Feb and I've only managed to get an estimated delivery date out of dealer (mid-June) - No estimated production date or VIN yet. I am hoping they at least will let me know when it finally goes into production.

10 weeks from order to production 6 weeks from production to delivery So looks like my production should be week of 21st April and delivery mid-June (which correlates with what the dealer is telling me). Think I'll start the Baunton VIN nagging in a couple of weeks |

I wouldn't say that the bmw tracking site is very accurate. Most times, it finally got updated a week AFTER I'd get updates from my salesperson. Heck, even now over a month after I picked up my X5 it shows that it still hasn't arrived at the dealership.

Nothing from my dealer. I'm setting expectation very low (mid-June) and anything better is a win. Good for you though. Hope it comes through |

Don't know why I still cannot get the VIN/Chassis Number, dealer has requested it. Seems like Europe is someway behind NA WRT BMW and the data they release to the people paying for the product. Why I just don't know. Anyway, not too much longer to wait..... Ordered mine about the same time for UK delivery.

It's possible our cars shared a boat then @Baunton. My completion date was 7th March and I was told by my GM that it arrived at Southampton earlier this week and should be with him over the weekend.
Definitely looking forward to seeing it on Monday / Tuesday and driving it before Easter. |

Wow - Just been told by my dealer that orders they are accepting now have a 12 month delivery timescale (in UK). Demand is extremely high apparently.
Luckily mine is still on track for mid-June |
