While you are waiting and if you have a VIN
Since I now have a VIN with my car currently being built, I just updated my VIN as a new car on the "BMW Driver's Guide" app on my phone.
So at least I can read the users manual whilst I wait, not that most of us read manuals Seems to confirm no wireless phone charging option on the car since there is no mention of this in the manual. |

Seems like a US thing only. Over here you are at the mercy of the dealer. I was able to track mine through the VIN on the shipping companies website. Docked in Brisbane early this morning.

Have to wait till it's onboard.. .. from what I have read, it takes a few days register.

Möller - yet another division and ship line owned or operated by Wallenius Lines • Mark 1 Shipping - owned or operated by Wallenius Lines • K-LINE (Usually BMW West Coast deliveries only, but sometimes ships to NY/NJ as NYK-Line) K-Line is not a W&W company • ARC - Often operated by, or under the direction of Wallenius Lines

Mine came through Hoegh Autoliners. I put my VIN number in here: https://www.hoeghautoliners.com/my-cargo and it showed up. It is also booked with Prixcar so you can track it there once it hits the dock and they pick it up.

Just been informed by my dealer that the car is built and waiting for shipping. He will contact me when he knows the ship name and then I can start the process of watching the ship slowly make its way to Brisbane.
I also discussed the lack or wireless charger/digital key with the build and if BMW have any plans for some form of retro fit. Unfortunately BMW dont since this is supposed to be a smallish period where cars are being built minus these components. The digital key doesn't bother me, but I would have liked a wireless charger pad for the phone, so will be scouring the internet for options. |

Also, I ordered the optional BMW dispaly key. I wonder whether this makes any difference in receiving the wireless charging bay as it is how the key is charged from my understanding |

The factory wireless charger has been pretty useless in my experience, so don't feel too bad about missing out on it. Whatever aftermarket thing you find will be better.

I was looking forward to not having any wires on the dash. Looks like I will still be using the Pitaki wireless charger.
