The updates from the geniuses were 9000 from 30th August until around the 15th Sept. at one point delivery date was w/c 21st Oct. In theory, you could be collecting in 3 weeks from tomorrow. Some geniuses are better with the status updates, ask when the status change happened. I'll post some pics tomorrow once collected, but it's not a 2020 M40i... |

Apparently it stays at 9000 from the point it departs the factory until it leaves Bremerhaven to come to the UK. The geniuses know nothing, I've spoken with many and they never truly know. Give it a few weeks and then the status should update as it departs for the UK. |

Victoria Highway and Toledo have both passed by the north of Bermuda but seem to be going rather slowly since they departed. They must be waiting in a queue or in a holding pattern until the other two ahead of them start their respective journey's back towards the US. Here's hoping some week 36 cars are on these and we start seeing some status changes over the next week or so. All the best with your collection today Dylan... Have fun! |

lochview am I right in thinking you're waiting on Silver with Tartufo? Same as my subsequent week 39 build.

Bosporus Highway left Bremerhaven yesterday and arrived in Zeebrugge this afternoon before it departs tomorrow for Southampton, arriving on Tuesday.
Themis is off the south coast of Ireland and is due into Bremerhaven on Wednesday and then on to Southampton on Friday. Victoria Highway and Toledo are both currently right in the middle of the North Atlantic on their way to Bremerhaven due to arrive next Sunday and the following Tuesday. Haven't received any emails from BMW this weekend, so either the car isn't on the first ship or the system doesn't generate emails during the weekend... more likely that the car isn't on the Bosporus Highway and is potentially on the other ships yet to arrive yet. However, I will continue to monitor and will keep you appraised of any updates (emails from BMW) or vessel movements as and when I can throughout the week... |

I don't think you get any more emails from BMW until it is with the dealer as looking at the sequence of dots on the email, departed factory is the second to last one, so I reckon there will be one more, most likely either when arrived in UK or (more likely) when at dealer. You should be able to get a status change once it has left Bremerhaven if I recall, going from 9000 to something between 9695 and 9620. M. |

Hi everyone,
I've got a Carbon Black Week 37 build M40d on order and my status changed to 6000 on 11th September and has been stuck ever since. I have a worrying feeling that this could be to do with Brexit and BMW doing what they did in February and not putting UK bound cars on ships in Durban until they know what's going on. I don't know for certain but it's a hunch - I hope i'm wrong! If you do a search you'll find a thread on Brexit with the details of what happened earlier in the year. I need to speak to my dealer to find out what's going on. |

I firmly believe if you have ordered a car pre this date, the tariffs shouldn't be applicable even if it arrives after the Brexit date. My X3 M40i UK spec car updated to 9000 status 3 weeks ago, so am hoping it is on one of two Wallenius Wilhelmsen ships currently heading to Europe and then arriving into the UK in early October, meaning the car should get to me before the end of October... |

The wife picked up a new Evoque last week and it's stunning, inside and out, even for a 2.0 diesel. Was pre-built with every option ticked and from signing the paperwork to collecting the car only took 3 days! |

Any update on your status? I take it both Bosporus Highway and Themis have made their calls at Southampton now (just checked and Bosporus Highway departed Southampton on 24th Sept, lookalike Themis is scheduled to arrive Southampton 29th Sept) ? I had someone check mine today and I'm still 9000, so assuming that my car wasn't on either of the above mentioned ships (or the status should have changed once they left Bremerhaven) so maybe it's on Victoria Highway (due Bremerhaven 28th Sept, Southampton presumably a couple of days later) or Toledo (due Southampton 5th Oct) Last edited by Mike72uk; 09-26-2019 at 10:19 AM.. |

No updates yet, but Themis is due into Zeebrugge tonight and then due into Southampton on Saturday. I had it confirmed that Wallenius Wilhelmsen are the official carriers for BMW from North America, so assume that Toledo will be the next one to arrive early next week. Officially Zeebrugge is still EU so the 9000 status might not update until Themis departs on its way to the UK tomorrow... If not, it's likely Toledo is where our cars might reside! Getting a tad frustrated for sure. Can't believe there is no record of where the car resides that BMW should share with us... annoying |

So, I've been looking back on my "Possible Week" since order. Order was placed 10th August. Expected Delivery (Possible Week in BMW system) was Week 43 (21st October). A further check on 6th Sept had it still at Week 43 (21st October). Then on 17th Sept that had slipped a week to Week 44 (28th Oct) and today it seems to have slipped further to Week 45 (4th November).
The car completed build and departed factory on 10th Sept.... which would make it almost 2 months since being built for delivery...... for a 12 day voyage across the Atlantic and whatever time it takes too get from UK landing port to dealer. What is going on..... is this because of the Recall Notice/Stop Delivery Order ? |

So have asked them to send me what field I need to ask BMW UK for so I can check this on their track and trace site... So damn frustrating! |
