Must have been a cancelled/pre-order slot. One of the advantages of the cars coming with a preset spec other than paint/interior colours is that it’s easy for dealers to reallocate cars. Looks like you’ve had a bit of a result!

That's all I can think it could be? Very confused by the statement that it's coming from the USA though and just been told on the ship tracking thread this is a coming error given out by the BMW Genius team so I need to re contact them.

I think the genius advice is extremely hit and miss. Last week I was told it was on a boat and due at the dealer first week in August. This week I’ve been told it’s at the port of exit awaiting shipping but still due first week in august. That’s one fast boat!

I guess we just wait for the call…

Actually, I’ve just done a bit of Google research and apparently port of exit means Bremerhaven so almost here

The iX3 cars are built in China. They are then shipped straight to Europe.

If your car is coming from USA, you may find they have fitted the incorrect drivetrain. Best cancel the charger installation and buy some Shell shares.

The Genius team use the standard X3 codes for the iX3 and since the X3 is made in South Carolina, this gets mapped to the iX3 hence the confusion. I had the same issue early on when tracking my car but a quick email to my dealer and the situation was clearer.

Already feel like we need to...only got a 30d X5 but it feels like we are paying for the oil company bonuses at the moment with how much we are spending on fuel each week

Unfortunately the dealer have been pretty clear in that we should go to the lease company to get updates on delivery....and the lease company have said to, basically, leave them along and they will let us know any updates.

In fairness, the dealer did provide the AG number straight away so I am just going to have to try and get what I can from the BMW Genius chat.

Try the Genius team on Twitter, they seem to use a different system to the Genius team on the BMW website and the information is a bit more comprehensive.

I ordered my car in December 2021 and still waiting for it (hoping to get it in the next week or so) and I haven't actually spoken to the leasing company since the start of the year, most of my contact has been with the Genius team and some with the dealer. In all honesty, you'll be able to keep updated with your order from the Twitter Genius team.

I have been loitering on here for a while and reading all the replies about orders and delivery dates and how long they took as my partner was in the process of ordering our new car, an M Sport Pro in Phytonic Blue with Oyster interior, through her works GoGreen scheme.

The order was placed on the 4th July according to her employer and it went through the dealer on the 11th July.

At that point she was told an estimated delivery date of late Jan 2023...which we thought was reasonable.

However, we got an email from Sytner this morning confirming the order and providing the AG number. I have just checked this via BMW Chat and been told that the car is built and on it's way from the USA to Bremerhaven!

They said it has an expected delivery date to us of 23/25th September.

Does this sound right as that's a lot sooner than we were told and expected considering how long a lot of the orders in this thread seem to be taking?
I ordered on the last day of March, M Sport Pro in Carbon Black. After reading stories here I thought I’d contact my dealer….they confirmed that a production date has still yet to be confirmed, but they expect it will be allocated soon based on order numbers. I expect in my instance a 4 month wait to get allocated a date, at which point it will probably be another 4 months to delivery, so 8 months in total and late Nov at the earliest.

I must just be lucky with the dealer allocations. I ordered through Arval onto Dick Lovett. I'm told it will be 1st week of August after ordering in May. It's exactly the spec I ordered.

I was sceptical but both Arval and the dealer are confirming the date.

I ordered my IX3 Pro - 7th Feb via Lex Autolease - I am being given a date of 29/09 - though every 2 months!

I notice before the delays were the build delay, now its delayed in transport so I assume that means it is on the boat?

Mine was also produced in week 29 - now the atlas leader is scheduled to bremerhaven so Mine and yours will probably be shipped with that.

I get the impression that cars built in week 32 (mine released 12aug) haven’t yet arrived in dalian according to chat. I’m still code 160… I guess we wait for the next one…
