Still no car, the new up speced X3 that was supposed to be in the country and with me has apparently a key transponder fault and so they need to change the cpu and new keys only told me Friday when I was suppose to be collecting the car - anyone know if this is just dealer lies as there’s a bigger issue such as scratches dents during delivery

BREXIT Delays my BMW
Ordered x3 16th Feb 2019
Promised!!!Delivery 1st week of May 2019 Built and at status of 6000 with distribution 13th March 2019 Latest e-mail from BMW today 13th April attached Going backwards fast Cannot see BREXIT anytime soon Dear Mike Thanks for the email about the delivery of your BMW X3. A number of South African built IVS status 6000 vehicles are being held currently at the ports of exit. This is due to our Brexit preparations and is designed to mitigate against the risk of any potential problems as a result of possible changes to customs processes at UK ports in the immediate aftermath of Brexit. I’ve had a look and have found that your car was transferred to the distributor on 13-0302019 but got delayed, it is now due to be delivered on 23-06-2019. I hope this was helpful and if you require further assistance then please get back in touch. Kind regards Hunain BMW Group UK |

No Slashers its an M sport 2.0i in Carbon Black with a few extra goodies-would have preferred an M sport 3.0i but not available in the UK-well mines not available at the moment !!
I can't help feeling with all the disarray that is in government at present that 26th June 2019 might be pie in the sky! |

I ordered my 3.0d 1st March and was told build slot w/c 18th March. Estimated delivery date 20th May. Will need to check mine is not also delayed. I thought all X3's for the UK were built in SA is this not the case?

Rosslyn Deliveries extracted from a previous post
I came across this post in an earlier forum and have tried to use it for want of any later info Using the molroro site i can see that two vessels the Palmela and the Genuine Ace are calling at Durban in the next fortnight with voyages to Bremerhaven
I have my Ag Number My Dlr code and my VIN but nobody on Genius customer service or my dealer cannot and will not tell me any more Thanks to the poster from Maryland who entered the included post Rosslyn SA build here as well, took delivery a couple weeks ago. You can track the vessel schedule for the carrier from this page. http://www.molroro.com/MOLVesselSchedule.aspx Just set your "POL" to 'durban' and see which vessels head to the US west coast. Once your vehicle is out of production use this site to see when it gets dropped off at the port by BMW - http://41.160.4.58:8080/apex/f?p=102:11:0::NO To search on this site change the Category type to 'Cars' and enter the last seven of your VIN. The site was about a day behind for my '18 340i xDrive, but let me know when it arrived at port (via rail) and which boat it left on, which I could then track with the vessel schedule site linked above. And once underway the best site I found for vessel tracking was https://www.marinetraffic.com/, which was always more up to date than any of the other vessel tracking sites I looked at. And for me, my boat (NEPTUNE ACE) went from Rosslyn/Durban to another port in SA and then straight New Jersey, skipping the stop in Europe. It then stopped in Baltimore which was my port of entry. Boats out of Rosslyn/Durban to the US do seem to be more spread out compared to German builds, leaving once every 3-4 weeks. My car sat at the port for 22 days becuase I just missed a vessel heading to the east coast. The transit at sea was 20 days. I can't take credit for all this good tracking info, there's a thread with these details in another post. I can confirm this worked great for me. Best luck tracking your vehicle. It's cliche because you see everyone saying it, but the wait is well worth it! |

My car, a 20i, was painted and built last week. Any idea where it might be built. So far the dealer hasn't warned me of any brexit related delays.

Bloggers with UK orders for X3 BEWARE
That is not good news and I should imagine that all posters who have X3s on order from South Africa will be in exactly the same situation. BMW are keeping very quiet about this ridiculous state of affairs.
Meanwhile I will continue to enjoy my Black Sapphire M Sport 325 CI that I purchased from new in 2005 and has been practically faultless in all that time. Please see pics attached. Miketee99 |

'We are aware of a couple of delays but from what we can see on our system it hasn't affected the delivery of your car, it's still showing as the end of May for arrival here at the dealership. It's on the ship up from South Africa as we speak. Worst case scenario is it might be the very beginning of June but I doubt that very much.' I located the ship it is on using my VIN and it is currently on route on the Morning Catherine |
