I can't help but feel that i'm experiencing some bad luck as compared with many of you lot. I ordered a MSport Pro in September and when emailing LexAutolease for an update on the delivery date the best they can suggest in expect the car between June and August or maybe October.

Code looks to stay at 165 until it arrived in Bremerhaven so no updated between leaving the factory and arriving in Europe unfortunately.

I think our cars could be on the same ship (whichever one that is). Mine is a company car via Arval. It went to status 9620 (at sea) on the 23rd of March and my delivery date has gone to the 6th of June now.

Mine is an M Sport Pro, Carbon Black with Black interior. Personally, I wanted a different colour spec, but we all know how it works, have to take what there is.

I think yours must be ahead of mine. Do you know your build date?

Ships on the way (arrival Bremerhaven):

Docked 03/04 - Cepheus Leader - (23/2 in Dalian)
21/04 - Hestia Leader - (2/3 in Dalian)
29/04 - Dionysos Leader - (21/3 in Dalian)
03/05 - Garnet Leader - (1/4 in Dalian)

It's funny that when I contact Genius or the dealer they tell me that it is currently code 165 which is registered on the BMW systems as "At sea from the US to Bremerhaven". I have to laugh knowing it is built in China. I think 165 is a code for "Left factory complex" for the IX3

[handymanuk]

I think my build week was the 8th of Feb.
I had 165 on 16th of March. I believe 165 is the same as 9000 below:

1100 Scheduled
1200 Scheduled for Production
5000 Confirmed for Production
5050 Chassis Number Allocated
5055 Confirmed by Production Control

5100 Bodyshop Start
5190 Bodyshop Complete
5200 Paintshop Start
5260/5270 Paintshop Complete
5300 Pre-Assembly Start
5400 Assembly Start
5500 Assembly Complete

6000 Transfer to Distribution
8200 Released to Carrier
9000 Departed Plant
9605 Pre EU port of exit.
9610/20/30/40/50/60 In Transit
9615/35/45 In Storage
9620 At sea
9630 Port of Entry
9650 Awaiting Dispatch to Dealer
9660 Dispatched to BMW Dealership
9800 Arrived Dealer

These are what I've found online.

I think mine also could be on the same boat. I had 165 on 16th March. Last update I had was it should be with me in May.... I guess that's slipped now.

Starting to get a little excited now.

Those are the old codes.

The new codes are: -

0 Order deleted by BMW
17 Order not specified
37 Order is at BMW NA
87 Production Week Assigned
97 Order sent to AG
100 Order deleted by AG
101 Error in data transmitted
102 Special Order (no Prod Week)
105 Order out of Prod. Period
111 Order Accepted at AG
112 Order scheduled for Production.
Up to this point you can usually make changes to your order. Once it goes into the next status, 150, the vehicle is already on the assembly line and cannot be changed.
150 Production Started
151 Body Shop Started
152 Paint Shop Started
153 Assembly Started
155 Production Completed
160 Released to Distribution
168 AG Stock
170 Waiting Workshop
172 Planned for Workshop
174 Workshop Entry
176 Workshop Complete
180 Waiting for Export Dispatch
181 Waiting for Domestic Dispatch
182 Schedule for Carrier
190 In transit to port of exit
191 Returned to BMW AG
193 Arrived at Port of Exit
194 Selected for Shipment
195 Shipped from Port of Exit
196 Shipment Arrival

Note that 165 is not on the list which mine has been sat at since 18/3. I think it hits code 168 when it arrives in Bremerhaven.

[Dave Wh]

BTW - If you have your VIN and want to see build date/options fitted to the car you can enter you VIN here. https://www.mdecoder.com/

Entered mine and as feared the passenger lumber adjustment has been deleted.

S48Z DEL.FR.PASS.LUMBAR SUPP./FR.PASS.BWA.

My order does however say "Front Lumbar Support" on the order form so I wonder if the dealer will compensate for it being not being on the car.

[Dave Wh]

For anyone who has a car on order and is tracking it, below are the BMW Build codes and descriptions.

My car was built on the 18/3 and sat at 168 until 7/4 when it changed to 195. So it looks like 168 is left plant and on its way to the port. Status 195 is on a ship from China. Currently looking at week 23 dealer delivery (w/c June 6th).

I think my car is on the same ship as yours - was told it had left port on 7th April. Do you know the ship name they are on? My dealer will not commit to delivery date yet.

[EVFan]

When I check my VIN on mdecoder it shows steering as Left Hand Drive! which is a bit worrying.
Anybody else have this?

Ships on the way (arrival Bremerhaven):

Docked 03/04 - Cepheus Leader - (23/2 in Dalian)
21/04 - Hestia Leader - (2/3 in Dalian)
29/04 - Dionysos Leader - (21/3 in Dalian)
03/05 - Garnet Leader - (1/4 in Dalian)

It's funny that when I contact Genius or the dealer they tell me that it is currently code 165 which is registered on the BMW systems as "At sea from the US to Bremerhaven". I have to laugh knowing it is built in China. I think 165 is a code for "Left factory complex" for the IX3

My build date was 14 Feb 22. Genius have stated that car will be with dealership, week commencing 02 May 22. Dealer has said that ships will dock in UK before Bremerhaven to reduce the delay. So I am guessing (hoping) mine is on the Dionysos Leader, which is due to dock at Bristol on 25 Apr 22. Getting excited now!!!!!!! Update this morning, iX3 has arrived in the UK, so no more need for me to track ships, just waiting for it to arrive at the dealership.

[handymanuk]

Exciting. I wonder if mine is on the same ship.

Having asked for a further update, vehicle is now back at sea. Yesterday I was informed it was in the UK with a delivery expected week commencing 02 May 22. Today I have been informed that it is status 195, with a delivery week commencing 08 May 22. They also said the status had not been updated since 03 Mar 22, so not sure which 'Genius' is correct. Very strange and slightly annoying!!!!!!!!!!!

[bilbabon]

current situation is a joke. I have been waiting many months for production to start, then two long months for ship to arrive to Germany and now my car is collecting dust somewhere there for a month and there is no eta for delivery to dealer. And car is not even waiting for fitting missing parts. Just waiting.

[edwardgb1111]

I visited my dealer this morning (current X3 needed a wiper blade) and they confirmed my car went into build this past Wednesday, with deliver scheduled for mid July.

Without wishing to be cynical, I'll believe it when I see it.

Mine went to build this week aswell (finally!) with also an estimated delivery of mid July. Much like yourself… I’ll believe it when I see it. 🤦*♀️

[kebl2555]

Mine is going to build next week. The date has been holding since it was previously delayed by the plant closure so I am somewhat optimistic it might go ahead.

Need to update my post because it turned out, that the problem was not with BMW delivery system but my local dealer that gave me answer without checking what is going on with the car. It turns out it was already transported and is waiting for documents before handing it to the dealer. Looks like not all of them are competent enough.
