As long as they build me a better X3, I'm cool with that.

Still "technical difficulties." I can't handle the suspense!!

Just signed up and saw my X3 video, I thought it would be lame but man that is pretty cool. Can't wait till Feb 10th at PDC for pickup, hope they have been keeping my new baby in a good spot since it's been finished for a while now.

Imagine if BMW did another JPS Playboy special like the did in the 80's, the production video would look like this

I have the same problem. The video is actually there but there's some problems with their front end player. I used Firefox with a plugin called FlashGot that detects and downloads flash files. After clicking on the "Watch it now" button, FlashGot alerted me that a flash video was available to download and hey presto I downloaded it and am watching it on my computer now. I use a Mac, send me a pvt message if you need more help.

Build week is gone and vehicle is still in "Start of Production". No video, no indication of vehicle en route. Bummed.

just got email & finished watch the video. It's pretty cool. It has 7 live camera shots of my X3. Now waiting for it to arrive. I guess I can send my 328i to Carmax for free estimate.

At what point along the completion process (which Track my BMW stage) did you receive notice of your video in your digital library?

Spoke to BMW Canada; unfortunately, this assembly line vid is only available to U.S. buyers. What a shame, would've been pretty slick to see my X3 rolling down the line!

Agreed - I wonder why that is though: they probably film every car being built anyway, so I wonder if the reason has more to do with communications or whatever else. I hope eventually this will be done for every single car coming out of Spartanburg

+1 They definitely film every car. It's annoying that non-US buyers don't get this and yet we know it's there

Good idea, but sucks like hell, not being available for every X3 built where ever you live.

I have confirmed that BMW no longer offers this vido :-(

"Thank you for writing to BMW of North America, LLC regarding your 2015 BMW X3. Congratulations on your recent purchase!

The production video program has been cancelled. We apologize for any disappointment this causes."
