Got my VIN:
WBA TY92 0 8 0 L xxxxxx but looking at attached “decoding info” I’d love to know what model TY92 represents.... I’m assuming a UK spec M40i Worked out that the L means it’s being manufacturer in Spartanburg. VIN not yet recognised in BMW Connected Drive app or BMW Drivers Guide app |

Noticed that, but if you go into the model first, the link to the configurator is still there...

Figure it's in different phases of production for about a week. After that, delivery will depend on where you live. For Connecticut, it'll be one to two weeks after production ends.

WBA = BMW AG TY92 = X3 M40i 0 = Seat Belts 7 = Check Digit 0 = Model Year?? L = Spartanburg Characters 12-17 are the unique serial number for each car thereafter. I would have thought the 0 Model Year would have been L actually for 2020, so I wonder if a combination of 0L is Spartanburg 2020. Not entirely sure and a bit confusing, based on content I've read online... |

Now, what is more interesting, is that when I "decoded" my VIN using https://decoder.bvzine.com I received the following:
Note the power figure of 285Kw (which equates to 382bhp).....living in hope, living in hope (as I thought the bhp increase was limited to US market) |

Got an update from my dealer that the car had completed its journey through Spartanburg and is now on its way to port.
Now the long wait for it to ship to Europe and over to the UK and into my awaiting hands... Now got access to my vehicle handbook digitally and now to start reading through it |

My X3 M40i is status 150 now and I have the vin# already. I also confirmed the B58 engine with 382HP. It has the same engine code as the 2020 M340. I can't wait for it to get here.

I can't add to connected drive as it says not yet configured for it, but was able to download my manual from Wednesday which is when the car left the production plant. Hopefully you'll not have long to wait... |

Hoping that Hurricane Dorian doesn't impact your cars (or mine) shipping too much. I assume they ship them out of Charleston, which was quite badly hit by the hurricane I believe. M. |
