I’m that guy. I thought he was asking if he could watch it from the app. Not from the website which you absolutely can once you get the vin.

You have to have access to the car in order to activate it in the My BMW app. If you just put in the VIN, it'll give you an error message. I also tried downloading my owners manual by putting the VIN into the Driver's Guide app, but that didn't work either

"Carbon copy" build from my previous 2018 F83 ZCP regarding exterior/interior/trim/black wheels.

Was at status 111 this weekend, haven't checked My Garage since for a status update. Just received my allocation this past weekend.

Quite a few Tanzanite Blue II Metallics for build week 41

I'm doing my 10th PCD, so no rush for me, which I know delays delivery.

Update, my G83 ZCP moved to status 112. We should have a sub week 41 poll for the tires our builds receive.

Subscribed to this thread for ya'll updates, as I just joined this party recently.

Part shortages.

Just saw today that HUD is being removed from the German market for 2/3/4/X3/X4 for all models except M performance and M's.

Years past it would have been Individual Manufaktur builds. Too risky to go full on Manufaktur route these days with all the part shortages. I could just image a build without HUD, HK, laser light, iDrive 7, etc. the ways things have been going, as each day is a new parts shortage which is removing a option from the build.

Still sitting in 112. Any other M3's in 150 status?

I saw that about HUD. I told my dealer if they remove that from my build they can cancel the build.

You should be able to download the owners manual based on the VIN a few weeks after production completes. I had the VIN for the '21 X5M comp back in December and was able to download the manual prior to my PCD early January of this year.

Neat thing with iDrive 7 is that your settings can transfer over to your new car except for seat positions as I was informed this at the PC. I'll be able to log into my BMW via e-mail/password in my new G83 and all my settings, hopefully including my M1 and M2, should transfer over.

I've been following this thread closely, I just hit 150 this morning! BMW Genius advised me to check back Friday and they were on the ball.

Week 41
San Marino Blue M3 Comp (RWD)

Let's go!

Edit 11:48 AM: Just got my VIN!!

Edit 2:21pm - I do have Executive package, in reference to post below

[kyleguy]

Called yesterday and Genius confirmed I was still week 41. Check this morning and I moved backwards to Order Received (111). Jinxed it by calling

[kyleguy]

Just talked with my dealer and they believe my order went backwards because of the HUD chip shortage. Anybody else with the Executive Package/HUD get pushed back to 111?

[bgexpress]

I was originally week 37 then was moved back to 111 with a week 44 estimate. Today I saw I was back in 112, genius told me I have been moved up to week 41!! Super stoked

The HUD is affecting the 3 series. Not M cars. Not yet anyway. ask your dealer to read the article in detail and it will tell him that.

So far it’s affecting 4-cylinder 3/4 Series and X3s/X4s (not unlike lumbar for passenger seats previously). You should be a-ok.

Yeah that’s what my dealer told me also. I hope you’re right my friend. I really like the HUD. I don’t ever wanna own another vehicle without it.

Yup!

[Ibiza]

Just checked this morning, went to status 150, VIN assigned, and all packages/options are intact! As I was worried about a last minute deletion. Should be a batch of G83 TBII's being painted together, as I believe the G83 has a different production line plant than the G80/G82.

For y'all that are moving back to either status 111 or a different week, it could be worse as I had a F83 at status 111 cancelled last spring by BMW NA when the factory's had the COVID shut downs.

[edofloat]

Went from scheduled back to order received, now week 45

[Hawkdog]

I’ve been at 150/“production begins” for 5 days now - is it normal to be there that long?

Yes. Just means that the parts are being lined up with the 1st tier OEM's for just in time factory sequence delivery. Remember that the engine needs to stamped with the VIN, which all M engines were assembled in Munich, but this production was being shifted to Austria.

Maybe taking longer in the COVID age, but be great full for status 150, as others are being bumped backwards to 111.
