Mine is due to arrive at dealers on Tues March 7th now, which unfortunately means I won't be able to collect it until Saturday 11th March at the earliest.

Has your vehicle arrived at port and these dates confirmed? Seems an age between production complete and arrival at dealers

Just checked this morning and mine's still showing Status 9000.
So, maybe it wasn't on the boat I thought it was on, or its being processed at Bremerhaven today and system not been updated yet...?

@GeeRam, i'm in exactly the same position as you. My dealer tells me it is still 9000 but delivery expected at Vines w/c 6th March.
It is rather frustrating to potentially be only a week away from delivery but with no way of knowing for sure Reminds me of Christmas 1976, knowing that something good was almost in touching distance but without being able to get my hands on it (Mk I Raleigh Chopper!) |

Mine is week 13 delivery however production completed one week earlier than quoted so was hoping delivery would be week 12? It is frustrating that between production complete and Port of Exit they all go into a black hole for 4-6 weeks not knowing where we are? I maybe panicking but now starting to get very impatient

My dealer said this morning its uncommon with X5's (no doubt due to the 'technicalities' of the importation rules) to see them remain status 9000 for weeks and then go straight to 'dispatched to dealer' the day the arrive at the dealer on a transporter!!!

Just following up on this thread, pretty upset for you guys, but if the scheduled delivery hasn't changed then I would still keep hope.
You'd think a company like BMW would have better tracking of their products, wouldn't you.....anyway, keep updating here if you hear anything, fingers crossed for you all.

Received good news this morning from my Dealer. My car is status 9610 Port of Exit and has now arrived in Bremerhaven as of yesterday.
As I expected it was on Boheme so the arrival into Southampton is scheduled 14th March. My Dealer has advised that they are due to receive delivery on 21st March or if not before. So with the prep work and professional detailing hoping to drive it away of the weekend 25th March. At least now I'm confident that the car will be registered prior to the 1st April. Not long to go now!

Holly cow, so for our X5 expected end of this month the car is sent to Southampton to be sent to BMW UK & I, and followed to BMW Ireland and finally to the Dealer.
No wonder why it takes so long, I take it transit is 10 times the production time. |

This link shows a webcam still of the Boheme docked at Bremerhaven just a few minutes ago. You can see a few X cars in the foreground, though I can't make out any Carbon Black ones! https://www.blg-logistics.com/de/kontakt/webcams |

There are several other MVE (Vehicle) ships from Bremerhaven due at Southampton before that, though, including one 45mins earlier on the 12th, direct from Bremerhaven. There's also two due in direct from Bremerhave on the 9th, and one on the 10th.

Your combination of the 40d twin turbo, SE spec and adaptive suspension is a fairly rare spec I would imagine so we will all be interested to hear your thoughts. Fingers crossed its only a couple of days away from collection now. |

Dealer tried to get BMW-GB to advance the build so it could be built before end of Dec, but after a few weeks it was clear that was a non-option, so they reluctantly agreed to refund. Just at that point I asked them, can the bits of pack be ordered/retro-fitted? Sales guy rings back saying that he’d just gone to parts dept, and was told that BMW actually offered the bits in a complete retro-fit package!!! except the satin finish roof rails and window surrounds which can’t be retro-fitted. As it happens these two items were still individual factory options anyway, as were the 449 alloys which was part of the pack. So, the order was re-configured to include these 3 separate items, plus with the saving from the audio and rev camera spec upgrades, I’m getting what I originally ordered for the original order price (retro-fit pack price and fitting is being swallowed by dealer effectively) but, the pack fitting is split in workshop time between the workshop and the separate bodyshop, due the nature of the bits to be fitted, so it’s a couple of days to be scheduled in. It’s no issue for me, as I can only pick up on a weekend anyway, which if it arrives at dealer tomorrow will be a pain for them as they don’t want it hanging around for a week when they don’t have the space – although it maybe a little easier now that the bulk of the March 1st new reg deliveries will have passed.

I have moved to 9630 Port of Entry this morning
My diligent tracking has been completely wrong as I assumed it was on the Boheme (currently docked in Gothenburg) but it must have been on the Tarago which docked in Southampton this morning. X5M50D - you should check out your status as we have been at the same status as each other for a few weeks now so yours may also have been on the Tarago Should get my registration this afternoon which will enable me to firm up on the insurance costs. |
