I was told my car was at sea on Thursday so I am assuming it is now at Southampton or very close but will get an update tomorrow hopefully from dealer.

Awesome. I’m gonna have so much spare time now I don’t have to check where the ship is.

Just checked with genius and they said delivery next week. Don’t know how we got so lucky with direct ship from South Africa.

I've been tracking the ships in the RoRo dock in Durban and Silver Glory has been the container I guessed my car would be on (I've been told end of July arrival in uk) When you put your vin in the GCOS Customer Enquiries does it say your car is on that ship? Mine just says arrived at port via road

[spangle1980]

I guess yours is not on, mine showed arrived at port by road for around 10 days then bammo:

VIN Operation Tally Time Vessel Name Voyage Carrier Carrier Registration
WBA26D*****084 Arrival at Port by Road 16-JUN-2022 15:15 - - - -
WBA26D*****084 Left the Port by Ship 21-JUN-2022 04:43 SILVER GLORY 22SG06 - -

[spangle1980]

Ohhhh exaggeration does make that story better no? The keen eyed observer will note. I really meant it was around 10 days from exit factory (code 165) to final ship named ;-)

[StoutyAlex]

ah thank you that's good to know! I keep seeing reference to codes like that 165 where do I find out my status code? Is this something I need to query with the dealer?

BMW Genius (not literally) can tell you via live chat off bmw.co.uk. You need your order number. You also have to ask specifically for the code. If yours shows up there for sure it is 165ish (in between factory exit and prior to shipping).

Pick up from dealer confirmed for 1st July!

For those son the ship that went straight to Southampton you are very lucky, have saved yourselves about an extra 6-8 weeks of waiting!

Congratulations!

Mine is still at Bremerhaven and the current status code is 182.

[M40i_Leo]

Anyone else's car still in Bremerhaven and the status code 182?

[JR850]

Just confirmed that I’ll pick my car on Wednesday Only 3 months after the original delivery estimate which isn’t as bad as I thought it would be when I first started reading this thread.

Here’s my timeline

Ordered October 21.
Build week 9th May
Arrived in Durban 18th May
Left Durban 29th May
Arrived Southampton 21st June.
Delivered to dealer 25th June.

[StoutyAlex]

I've been checking that Durban port thing that says when my car arrived at the port and when they leave. The past 11 days its said 'arrived at port by road on the 19th of June'
but I went to query it today and I got this message

''No data found - Please try search again"

either their services are down or my vin has been wiped from the system.

Can anyone else query their VIN on this http://41.160.4.58:8080/apex/f?p=102:5:::NO:::

and has this happened to anyone before ?

[spangle1980]

Mine is still showing ... Left port by ship. It's somewhere up the west coast of Africa now on the Silver Glory.

It's odd it has gone after being there!

Very strange... I spoke to a BMW on Facebook and they told me my car is coming from the USA to Bremerhaven and should be delivered by the 11th of July (way off). I had to remind them my car was made in South Africa then they looked again and realized their mistake. The online genius had no idea said status 185 or 165 I can't remember and said they can't tell if its on a ship or not from their system.

I'll probably get in touch with my Park Lane representative tomorrow / Monday and see what's up. It's mad how hard it is to track orders on a 50k+ vehicle. The only good thing to come out of the tracking progress is that I have learned a lot about shipping haha

[njw1967]

Coming back soon guys

Awaiting my second new X3M40

After owning 34 BMW vehicles I truly hope this one doesn't disappoint……

Build week 08 has become a loaner :

Build week 27

Lol good luck with that. My dealer was sure my car was at Southampton, while BMW UK was sure it was still in Germany, and Genius said it was still in the USA.

The dealer was the most inaccurate source of tracking for what’s that worth.

They're pretty useless to be fair - esp. coroporate.

To their defence though - all dealers are. We have better tracking info here.

OMG! After all you went through with us on these pages. What was wrong with the bodywork? Is there anything we should be looking for?

[M40i_Leo]

My car was sent to immingham port and the current status code is 9660.

Estimated delivery to dealer is 12th July.
