Re UK delivery.... Mine was k lines - my dealer could tell when it arrived in the EU (Zeebrugge in my case) so guess which ship you're on and call your dealer when you think it's arrived in an EU port.

Thanks for the info, do you know if it stayed on the same ship to Bremerhaven then on to Southampton?

I believe it did. It took a couple of weeks to get the final 100 miles from Southampton though.

@worsy, they're up to 77350 at the moment so mine is only 6 away and yours 17.

I don't know which is worse, being able to track this and checking too frequently or not knowing and just getting a call from the dealer to say it is ready and waiting.

Most excitement I've had all week...

Worst thing is that I've produced a spreadsheet that calculates the time the next VIN in a series should be complete based on previous numbers / times - pulling my hair out when there's a slight delay and nothing happens for 15 mins or so! I guess the website might not update in real-time.

I just hope they don't have a breakdown or maintenance period, I think my head will explode

It'll be great for us to finally check our specs 'as-built' hope nobody has anything missing!

@CatFlap, you obviously have far too much free time on your hands to go to the trouble of making a spreadsheet. I just looked back at the previous 30 or so VINS to see how many were built on which day.

The updating on the BMWArchiv site doesn't seem that great. Still only 3 40D's built today from what I can see.

.....I'm not being serious. I think there may be a shut down but I have no reason to think it's soon. I saw an article where they referenced delaying a shut down a few years ago and having a four week shut down the following year to make some changes to the production line. It's probably done when they are about to change model year?

Seriously? when does that happen?

That's not funny @MJF120, I've got enough to do at the moment without worrying about BMW plant holidays !

Looks like its later this month for maintenance. Might be of interest for those with slightly later builds.

My panic is over, 30d builds froze at 43966 about lunchtime and no movement since - it seems that that VIN is 'missing' and they're now up to 43969 Only 5 to go until my number's up!

Does anyone know if the 'real-time' updates from BMW are actually up to date? I can't see how my X5 can be in the paint shop today (according to BMW) though BMWarchive will almost certainly show it as build complete today?

My car is due for delivery in six weeks (WK30) so I guess it must be built soon if that deadline is to be met. I'm assuming that the BMW status info is out of date by a few days.

Thoughts anyone?

With a bit of luck I'd guess you could be picking that up from your dealer about this time next month?

After reading through this thread, I really can't wait to see each one of your X5s when they arrive . Hopefully it's much sooner than later. Those are always the best surprises when you get that email saying something's been delivered when it's due much later . Good luck to everyone - I know how much the waiting game sucks.
