Hi all, pleased to be part of this forum. Placed my order for an x3 M40d in Phytonic blue a while ago and just been told its at status 150. Anyone got an idea of how long delivery would take to the UK from this status? I'm told about 7 weeks?

Super useful, thanks for this!

Op,

This is what I did to track my car from SA: (gathered details from several other threads). I actually collected my car on 1st September !!


You need to do the following to find out what/which ship you're car is loaded onto if built in South Africa.

1. Get your BMW Order number (Dealer should be able to provide this)
2. Connect with BMW Customer Service here and ask for build update (ask for all all Build codes/dates. Also get them to tell you your VIN as needed for the next step.

https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/index.html

This is what BMW UK Customer Service provided me:

11 - 04.05.2023. # order/build slot
112 - 23.06.2023 # order confirmed
150 - 03.07.2023 # Build started
153 - 17.07.2023 # Build complete
154, 155 and 160 on the 18.07.2023.
165 - 20.07.23. # ready to ship


They should also tell you ETA to the dealership (mine is 4th September)


3. Once you have VIN goto the Durban/SA ports tracking website here:


http://41.160.4.58:8080/apex/f?p=102:5:::NO:::

(URL won't display as a hyperlink - hence pasting it as text) Cut and paste it into your browser address bar.



I checked Durban/Port Elizabeth RORO terminals from the drop down list, select CAR, and paste your Vin number into it and search.

This should then give when the car was received into the PORT, and once loaded, the Ship Name.

VIN Operation Tally Time Vessel Name Voyage Carrier Carrier Registration
VIN1234567890 Arrival at Port by Road 22-JUL-2023 11:49 - - - -
VIN1234567890 Left the Port by Ship 29-JUL-2023 01:32 PELAGIC PIRANHA 23PA02 - -


You can then search on the ships name on MaritimeTraffic/BoatWatch (multiple apps/websites all of which use the AIS data a ship broadcasts)

Most shipping Line publish the schedule for their ships (just need to seatrch/find thes dependent upon which boat you are on) So RORO Piranha is owned by Saullumn Lines:

Next port of calls are:

Emden - 22nd August
Bremerhaven - 24th August
Southampton - 27th August
