Additionally, the BMW Genius helpline is a useful source of information. Give them either a production number or a VIN at 1-844-4GENIUS (443-6487), and they should be able to provide general progress updates. You can contact us through email as well.
A dependable source of recall information is the NHTSA website. It’s worth entering the VIN into the search bar if your car has been sitting at the port for a while.
Electric and hybrid vehicles must have a charge level of at least 90% when they leave the dealership. Following the release of the iX and i4, this is a new requirement. It’s likely that your vehicle will need to stay at the dealership for a day before it is ready for collection due to the PDI (pre-delivery inspection), vehicle detail, and these charging requirements.
Center for Performance Any vehicle is capable of delivery. However, the plans must be made before the car receives shipping instructions. It’s incredibly challenging—and occasionally impossible—to change the destination of a vehicle after it’s loaded and on the road. Talk with your dealer as soon as possible.
Every vehicle also offers courtesy delivery. It enables you to pick up your brand-new BMW from a different dealership than the one you are purchasing it from. If the car dealer you bought it from is out of state, this is a good choice. While there may be a fee, depending on the dealer’s policies, it is typically less expensive than having to send the vehicle yourself.

What is my BMW build week?
I apologize if this question has already been addressed a gazillion times, but could someone please tell me how to determine my build week? How soon after placing an order can someone find out what build week is?
The similar query crossed my mind a few days ago. I phoned the 1-844 number for BMW Genius. Inquire about an agent or repeatedly press 0. The person on the other end of the telephone will then ask you for your production number after you have informed them that you want to know your Built Week. I think that’s it.
If you have a genuine allocation, your dealer should be able to tell you the production week connected with that allocation. I’m not sure if I should enable such an obvious use of not-searching, but I’m in a nice mood. That information is also available through the BMW Genius line.
How lengthy is the production line for BMW?
Expect 4-5 weeks for BMWs made in the USA (the majority of the X models) and 10 weeks for BMWs built overseas. This timeline begins with the beginning of manufacturing, not with the placing of the order.
What does it imply that your BMW has been added to the manufacturing queue?
Your VIN will be assigned to a finished body when it moves through the queue and is just about to head into the paint shop. After painting, the car can be fully built, filled with fluids, and started up for the first time in just a few hours before going through the final quality check.
How soon after the factory does BMW leave?
3-6 weeks to the US, provided it is rapidly loaded onto the boat, which priority 1 automobiles typically are. Following another 2-3 days at VPC, another 2-3 days are needed to go to Florida. Add additional week or two if you had ED. Realistically, early August would be the longest and middle July would be the fastest. Simply keep track of which boat it boarded to have a better idea of where it is.
How can you tell if your vehicle is a Priority 1 vehicle? My CS has been in “Quality Check” since the freaking 8th of June.
On the west coast, I was hoping to have by the beginning of August, but I’m confident it won’t happen right now.
Ask your dealer for your VIR, which should indicate that you are a Priority 1 if your car was a customer-ordered vehicle.
Since you received a CS, it is probable that it will remain at quality check for some time if US emissions, safety, or any other number of production-related issues need to be resolved at the factory. I wish you quick delivery!
Mine required 18 days. sent from the factory on 6/10. Accessed dealer on 6/28. I acquired it today. The My Garage, in my opinion, continues to be a few days behind schedule. My automobile is still shown as being in transit.
What does a week of BMW production mean?
Op- If you were set a deadline of July 27, 2015, your car’s manufacture should cease that week. It’s always an estimate, but BMW does not provide a specific date, only a specific week that represents the anticipated completion week.
How do I track the delivery of my car?
For information regarding the whereabouts of your car, contact your car shipping firm. You may be able to track your vehicle’s whereabouts precisely if your driver has enabled GPS tracking. Even if the driver didn’t activate vehicle tracking, the broker can frequently predict your delivery date.
Most of the top auto transporters have more than ten years of experience. When a shipping business has transported hundreds of vehicles along your particular route, it is simpler for it to forecast when your package will arrive.
How long do orders for BMW factories take?
The majority of BMW X models are typically constructed in the USA in 4-5 weeks, whereas BMWs built outside the USA often take 10 weeks to get here on the West Coast.
How long does it currently take to get a new BMW?
Currently, the average lead time for new BMW orders is between 20 and 24 weeks. In addition to the four to six weeks of transit time that some models require, which is included in the average, lead times for electric and plug-in hybrid models are longer due to very high demand.
The firm informed us that while new-car inventory at BMW dealers is smaller than it has typically been, buyers may still browse what is offered online. Most new automobiles that are in stock can be delivered in less than two weeks.
How long does it take to export a BMW out of Germany?
From the date of drop-off, it will take every vehicle between 6 and 8 weeks to travel from Bremerhaven, Germany, to the East Coast and 8 to 10 weeks to travel from Bremerhaven, Germany, to the West Coast, where it will then be delivered in its whole. Be advised that leaving your car somewhere other than Germany will cause your arrival to be delayed.
How long will it take to build my BMW?
You will be added to the build queue as soon as the order is received and you have a production number. This entire process would have taken around eight weeks (from Germany), or four weeks, before COVID.
Keep in mind that you have no allocation if there is no production number. Call out a dealer’s ruse if they claim to have an allocation for you but no production number.
The precise VIN number of your car will be available on the internet once it is scheduled for manufacture.
What is the price of BMW real-time traffic?
Real Time Traffic Information (option code 6AM) looks to be a paid service now in the US. It was a component of the Premium Package for MY19, however the MY20 manuals do not mention it. And when I configured my MY20 X4 in BMW Connected, RTTI was listed as an add-on option for $50 per year.
How much time is BMW traveling?
A term for vehicles that have left the manufacturing line but have not yet reached the dealership is “in transit,” which refers to your car. Depending on where the model line is manufactured, it may take 3 to 30 days for the car to reach the dealership.
When will my BMW be released from the port?
Week 2 production is currently at the port and there has been no change in that time. incredibly frustrated Going to Brunswick, GA in the hopes of boarding one of the upcoming boats
same exact circumstance. Lack of a clear method and not having previously ordered a car make the wait more unpleasant, especially when other cars appear to be shipping while some remain on the lot. No halt sales, btw.
I hear you, haha. Around the 12th, Donington will arrive at my port of entry. Recently, I was only curious how long it takes from the port of entry to the dealer.
Recently seems to be moving more quickly. Week 1 students received their automobiles quite fast. Considering that many people from weeks two and three are still in Germany
A BMW Performance front splitter, which is generally placed at the port of entry, is a port installed option on my order. Does anyone know if the car status keeps being “at the port” rather than changing to “in transit” aboard ship, till that option is installed?
No. The tracking will remain constant throughout. in transit from at port(exit) to at port(entry) to in transit
But I have a question for everyone because it seems like there is a gap in reporting when a vehicle is found aboard a ship. I’ve heard it could take a few days. Does anyone have any further information? That is, even though you might actually be on a ship that is 2, 3, or 4 days into its journey, you would still appear at the port.
I spent a brief amount of time at the port, but that was after spending more than three months in QC. I’m back “at the port” right now, but this time I’m waiting for a carrier on the east coast. Over a week has passed already. This past Saturday was supposed to be the day, but it might now be tomorrow. If one spot isn’t where you’re waiting, it’s another
I spent two weeks at the port. I’m hoping your automobile finds a boat soon!
