Exactly & I fully agree with you. Imagine how many small bumps & bruises brand new cars suffer without anyone knowing about it. Had this relatively small repair been under $3 k (that mandatory disclosure statement) would've never been revealed to me.

Just got the call today that she arrived at the dealership. Called Genius number and they told me next week. Super excited.

Yikes….I didn't win the Michelin lotto either the first time I ordered my 2020 X3MC. I ended up switching them out once the conti's wore down. Crossing my fingers for the new one on the way….I doubt they'll switch them out though.

Ok, so today mine moved from >>Dispatched from factory (where it's been for a week)to >>>at the port to >>>>in transit…..hmmm I'm wondering if the tracking system is off (early) by a week? At port means our local port as it was explained to me…then in transit I thought meant from port to dealership (since that's the next tracking dot?) hmmm

Edit; just called genius line to verify and they said it's actually only 1 day early and half way here. It passed through the KS interchange this morning. Ultimately, 1 day ahead of schedule. ETA is 3/7 or sooner now. It's become a nail biter….lol

Seems like my car sat in "Production Begins" for awhile.

Then, in something like 24 hours, it went through:

- Exterior Body assembly begins
- In the paint booth
- Entering assembly line
- Assembly in progress
- Quality Check

That last bit of activity all happened surprisingly quick.

lol...makes this wait a lot more fun now!

That's great! Seems as if that's the protocol; that is wait wait and then wait some more…then just when you get all excited…it gets to get on the train to the south west and west coast…well then it gets to the Kansas interchange and sits for days on end (more waiting) then NORTHFOLK SOUTHERN hands off the load to BNSF which then pulls the load further south west….mine was a day early now it's behind by a week thanks to the rail system lol. This waiting is killer….Keep us all posted on your progress…if you get the bill of laden from your CA or genius then you can track your car via rail system on their automated phone system…

I just called the bmw genius and they wouldn’t provide the bill of lading. Did you get the bill of lading from BMW Genius or CA?

Thank you!

Heyya; yea I got mine from my CA. She sent me a screen shot of the tracking screen that they use at the sales center and it's on that screen…it's a code that looks like: TTGX993456S-B (not my actual tracking but looks like that) you can use it to track yours on the rails all the way to the VPC….

I've got it down to a science! I caught up to the exact train pulling my '22 X3MC to California! Just departed Flagstaff….called the number for tracking as it just departed East Darling AZ the next crossing is Flagstaff and they have a live cam…so I logged onto YouTube and 2 mins later there it was still on the move! Looks about 65/70 mph….

I think I'm stuck in Barstow…last pass through to San Bernardino….but I haven't checked the rail tracker this am…I'll check now to see where it's at…mine does say "in transit" which should be the case if it's actually on a truck to the sales center but it switched to that status when it hit the Kansas exchange (hand off from Norfolk Southern to BNSF)…stand by…
What about yours?

Edit;
Called the rail tracking & it says "VOHR or BOHR Barstow" as of yesterday AM; before yesterday it said "intermediate arrival Barstow" — I called genius and they had no clue lol they said it's hasn't been scanned in at San Bernardino VPC yet. Maybe they're trucking from Barstow to the VPC (3hr drive) but I have no other ideas. Hopefully it's free of damage.

My order got "accepted" the last couple of days of January, which I would assume was a February allocation. As of two days ago, car is sitting in "final assembly".

Not sure what that means for arrival time at my dealership here in Texas, but hope that is sooner than May!

Mine is also BSM with the 892's, but went with that Sakhir orange.

Soon I'll be looking up live camera feeds on the trains! ...or ordering a 2023 X5M if it takes much longer.

The thing your mind does when in a waiting pattern...straight up funny!

Sales center claims mine will arrive at the VPC Saturday night @7PM….I went from 1 day ahead to 2 weeks behind after shipping. SMH.
