WBS33AZ03NCJ25571 - never had any enhancement scheduled
WBS33BA09NCJ02720 - closed (currently at dealership? only convertible in the set)
WBS43AZ09NCJ02767 - closed
WBS43AZ01NCJ10717 - closed
WBS43AZ08NCJ12058 - open

Similar story for M3s:
WBS43AY04NFL94280 - closed
WBS43AY09NFL94470 - closed
WBS43AY09NFM07167 - open (some new defect code: 0065600300 without description)
WBS43AY07NFM09712 - never had any enhancement scheduled
WBS43AY01NFL94477 - closed

It is looking very promising. The cars without any enhancement scheduled, from when I last checked, had very recent production dates. Their recency is also apparent in their VIN numbers relative to the rest.

Yep did the same thing! I just called BMW Genius and I don't know how they have this information but they see my car arriving at dealership on the 21st which is this Sunday?!? I'm skeptical and don't believe it.

My car's all done including the M Perf parts. It's estimated to be at the dealership next week, possibly Tuesday.

It's possible it's really Sunday like yours but my CA is out on Mondays always so he's probably setting expectations for his availability, car prep, etc.

I'm hoping this will be the case, I'm returning my current lease tomorrow and putting 10k in my pocket from dealer buying it back. Strange times indeed.

This. I ‘sold’ my X5 to Carvana a month before the lease ended (and a day before BMW FS quit quoting third-party buyouts). Rather than pay $1,100 in excess mileage penalty, I pocketed $6,000. The ‘price’ I’m paying is being without a car for a month so far and (probably, hopefully) one more month. I’ll take that trade-off!

My car’s in transit to the dealership now.

Did you talk to Genius about estimated arrival or our dealership? My car left the center on the 19th. Genius said car should arrive at dealer tomorrow. My dealer contact doesn't really say much except he will let me know when the car is there.

Dealership… it is supposed to arrive today (as of 11/16). Last updated to "this week, with hopefully a weekend pick up" as of yesterday (11/22). I'll call the Genius if it doesn't switch in the tracker by tomorrow morning.

I'm okay with it being on the weekend because I have Shift giving me 21% more for my current BMW on Friday vs the best that Seattle could offer. 10% if you count sales tax benefit. If that doesn't come through, I've the fallback of trading in on the weekend.

When my X5 arrived at the dealership in April according to the tracker, the dealership said it didn't for half a day or so until they "found it". I guess it wasn't processed into their inventory right away.

Interesting, I actually don't have a car right now because I returned my C43 AMG lease last week. Couldn't say no to Mercedes Bellevue who almost offered double of what Mercedes Seattle offered. Definitely worth shopping around these days when it comes to returning your old car.

I'm checking the tracker once every 1-2 hours now. Still in transit.

I just called Genius about mine they changed mine from today to Friday. But yours was dispatched earlier than mine, honestly it wouldn't surprise me if it was sitting at the dealership and they didn't want to process it due to everyone wanting to go home for Thanksgiving. They are closed tomorrow according to their website.

[JosipZ]

Actually mine just flipped on the dealer website from in transit to like it's arrived with 4 miles. Dealership claims they don't have it yet, just called them.

CA e-mailed me this morning to say the car's here. Scheduling delivery for tomorrow. Mine had also flipped on the dealer website on Wednesday late afternoon.

The tracker website still says I'm in transit. Somebody failed to plug the right data into the system..

Oh man I'm pretty sure my car is there but my CA is so horrible at communicating. I literally asked him three times to fix mybmw tracking for me and he pretty much ignored me. Pretty sure he has been off all week and doesn't work weekends... I really wished I could work with somebody else. What's the first name of your guy?

My CA just got back to me again (literally a minute back) and said he was mistaken since he couldn't find the car there. The car's only going to get to them today, and is still on the truck.

Contact the sales manager and let them know you want the car and want nothing to do with the CA then have them get someone who is better.

Just heard back from dealership, picking it up tomorrow morning!

That's awesome! Just to be sure, make sure they have physically seen the car because it's when my CA went looking for it that he realized the system was wrong.

My CA said he'll let me know as soon as the truck's here but they can't turn it around by tomorrow morning. The tracker still says in transit too.

Or you could do what I (by chance, I swear) did years ago and watch the truck driver open the enclosed trailer to reveal our M3 on the truck.

CA emailed to say earlier this evening to say it hasn't arrived yet. May arrive tomorrow? Seems random.

Where did this truck go that it's taken so long to get here. It can't take 10 days to get from Oxnard to Seattle. I hope it wasn't damaged in transit or something.

[luckylingy]

Oh I dunno .. maybe the driver stopped for Thanksgiving dinner along the way and took a couple days off to digest it.
