On the “new member” thread, this information for tracking orders in the UK was graciously supplied a while back. I choose to repost it on the UK forum to assist other members because I have found it to be really beneficial to follow my order. The BMW Genius team (located at this URL) has access to more recent data than my dealership has.

By entering your username and password, access “My Account.” Follow the registration links to create one if you don’t already have one.
When prompted, enter the VIN of the brand-new automobile you just ordered by clicking on “Track Your BMW” in the top right corner of the “My Account Overview” screen.
To find out where your automobile is in the manufacturing line, look at the progress bar that is situated in the middle of the page, underneath the image of your vehicle. In the bar, a BMW icon denotes the current stage of the vehicle’s construction.
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.
What shipping firm does BMW employ?
Wallenius and Wilhelmsen are the most frequently utilized carrier for BMW, with Kline and NYK coming in second. The links to the various shipment schedules or search pages that BMW utilizes are provided below.
How long does it take to ship a BMW to the United Kingdom?
Accordingly, the vehicles will be loaded in Charleston, and depending on when and where it makes stops, the shipping time to the UK is around 22 days. Once you have your VIN, you may use the associated website to conduct searches.
How can I determine when my BMW was manufactured?
Do you know if anyone who is utilizing the military buy program has had success? BMW Genius informed me that I couldn’t track my vehicle and that I had to contact my sales representative for any changes. My VIN won’t likely be put to the US database until I ship my car back to the US at the end of my trip because I’m taking a European (Germany) delivery.
You won’t be allowed to import the car into the USA if your VIN isn’t “in the database” (in reality, they’re allocated from a preset list at build time). This is because it won’t be American spec .
I’ve completed two EDs for BMW and one for Volvo. Military is a distant relative. Both of them demand a degree of accuracy that you must work for.
To decipher a VIN, don’t you need all 17 characters? That’s what I’ve noticed. Mdecoder also functions flawlessly in Canada for some reason. Just entered my x3m and my wife’s x1; both received results.
From where are BMWs delivered?
Designed in Germany Regardless of the plant where your BMW was made, almost all BMWs are delivered from Bremerhaven, Germany.
BMW uses which port in the UK?
The bulk of BMWs typically go to Immingham if there is room because their national distribution center is located in Thorne, South Yorkshire, which is 20 minutes from the M1, M62, and A1, making it essentially in the middle of the highway network.
How soon after ordering does a BMW arrive?
For the majority of X models, BMWs made in the USA should arrive here on the West Coast in 4-5 weeks, while BMWs built elsewhere should arrive in 10 weeks. This timeline begins with the beginning of manufacturing, not with the placing of the order.
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 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.
The meaning of “BMW in transit”
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.
How are BMW vehicles moved around?
Open Auto Transport for BMW We recommend using our open car carriers to ship the majority of BMW models. BMWs are generally strong automobiles. In general, Number 1 Auto Transport advises shipping high-end, luxurious, or delicate autos in an enclosed trailer. You’ll save money by shipping in an open carrier.
How lengthy is the production line for BMW?
two to three weeks approx. The precise date the car is anticipated to be finished by will be provided if you email or phone the BMW genius number. How long did it take from the moment the order was received until production started?
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!
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.
What color is most popular for BMW?
One of the most popular colors for BMW cars is blue, yet blue is never just “blue.” Instead, you’ll find, to mention a few, Mystic Blue, LeMans Blue, and Interlagos Blue. Despite the fact that they are all called blue, each color has its own unique tints and quirks that are unique to it.
