Is yours an individual color? If so I don't think you ever get anything more than a generic image in the online tracker. So long as it says special color for the color choice you are good.

If it is a place holder production color and you've been assigned a VIN, you've reached the point of no return for the allocation to be modified.

From what I understand, I may have gotten the allocation of a guy who cancelled his order. But I was able to fill it with my spec since it was still status 112. I've got BSM exterior and Fiona Red interior, no special order individual.

It would be nice to see my vehicle spec getting built, but as long as it keeps moving forward I'll be happy with the actual car!

If the specs on the online tracker don't match up to what you ordered and it has hit status 150 and a VIN has been assigned it's likely not going to be built to what you wanted. Your dealership or BMW Genius can double check but the online tracker should be a 100% match to how it's being built.

Circa77 · 07-05-2021, 01:50 PM

My dealer neglected to add red brake calipers and I noticed in the build graphic when I was still 112. I called and he changed it, and before I was even off the phone I saw the status page update with the graphic and everything.

I'd be suspicious if my order page wasn't accurate.

My order page is completely accurate with all my specs, it's just the stock image that hasn't updated for whatever reason.

Should be good then! 👍🏻

You're actually Week 27 then. It's strange, it almost seems like nobody is "actually" Week 28 here. Either pushed forward into Week 27, or like me my estimated completion date is July 19th, or the start of Week 29.

Curious. I mean, I was told week 28, and that it would be completed by July 12th. Seems to track with what I've been told. I feel like I'm a little later than week 27 builds but a little earlier than week 28. Maybe a week 27.5 and they rounded up?

Regardless, looking forward to sitting at port for 11 weeks while they source some obscure radio knob causing a stop-sale.

My car was on the tail end of W27 but ended up getting pushed 1 day to W28 (7/12 it finished production).

currently, my car is at the port, where is everyone else's? Does anyone have a car headed for Texas as well?

Circa77 · 07-19-2021, 10:41 AM

I've been at port for 2 days so far, in AZ so I assume my ship is headed to CA?

Yes, it will arrive at Port Hueneme and then trucked over to your dealership here in AZ.

AndroidRobot · 07-19-2021, 02:34 PM

mine has the dreaded camera stop sale per my CA. He said it'll get addressed stateside which I hope is true.

AndroidRobot · 07-23-2021, 07:16 AM

edit: my car is on the Prime Ace, anyone else?

Circa77 · 07-23-2021, 10:28 AM

Everybody is in transit except me. Still at port for 6 days now. Confirmed via dealer that there is no stop-sale.

Same here! Looks virtually direct to NY/Newark, estimated arrival 8/2!

I really lucked out it got to port so quickly and could sneak onto it. If it was going to be a WW ship I wouldn't have even gotten to VPC until late August.

mine will have to grab a transport to TX afterwards. per my CA it'll go to the Galveston VDC then to my dealer for the courtesy delivery. The path seems unnecessary but we will see how it goes.

Oh right, I just realized we ordered from the same dealer! Yours was one of the M3s he was talking about with the stop sale. Crazy we ended up on the same ship after all.

are you referring to me? BMW of Ridgefield? Yeah mine does have the stop sale too, hopefully it'll get corrected quickly

Just got week 28 confirmation, production should start 7/11. Ordered 1/6/22. Changing my seats to buckets when I got my production number back in April screwed everything up. Blessing in disguise since the new screen is unreal. Now there are pothole warnings on the HUD. Plus video recorder.
