I just called BMW Canada and they told me the production hasn't even started yet . I don't believe that my car will be here by mid may like my SA promised I will go shed some tears

My dealer just called and said he spoke to the Preparation Center at the port (in Baltimore), and that the M3s there are being held pending receipt of a front license plate bracket. WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot, it's not even going on my car, but he said that info didn't molify them, they would not release the car, so I probably won't get it until Monday.

True statement. Held by customs for an item many won't install anyway. My vert arrived on the 7th i Baltimore too though it had a plate holder (not installed). Got it two days ago.

Was a week 11 build, but due to the fact it was a "sold car" went jumped ahead of some showroom stock and was a week nine build.

I heard you already picked up your car from the same guy who sold me my 2011 coupe...i saw your silverstone/fox red vert this past weekend. Great combo...
Mine is Jerez/Fox Red

For anyone else on the Cygnus Leader, it finally started reporting good location data. It looks like it is due in to port tomorrow, 2 days later than the dealer tracking systems said it would be. Hopefully mine clears customs quickly and gets on a train to Scottsdale.

Expected production date of my M3 is April 23! Pretty good for first contacting a dealer on March 22.

I've seen evidence here of at least 3-4 just on a few relevant threads. This is so sad if this is nothing more than unrequired government intervention. I'm so glad our $1300 gas guzzler tax is paying for this...

Possible delays in production?

I just got the info that my production is officially complete but the car is not at the port yet.

Looks like I just made it before the production delays at Regensberg due to the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland.

My production completed 12 days ago and it still has not made it to port

I'd say your car has made it to port already...... From what I understand the tracking info is slow to update. I doubt that they have 12 days worth of space in the lot at Regensberg. They make roughly 1000 cars a day there and that would be 12000 cars that have not moved yet. I would assume 3-5 days maximum at the plant before it would be shipped to port.

Remember that sold cars take priority over cars for dealer stock so yours would jump to the head of the line past any unsold units that are awaiting transit.

Ok, I think I've had a really lucky string of events here.

Ordered on the 9th of April.

Went into production on the 13th.

Finished production on the 19th.

Dealer told me today it was already on a boat and headed to the US!

Hopefully my luck holds and it zips through everything. I'm getting excited!

[edlin303]

My car is still stuck in the VPC, and I have a bad feeling. On the dealer's tracking page it shows "Holds: Repair". While my rep claimed he didn't know for sure that meant there was an issue, it seems pretty obvious. Now I have to wait to hear what happened to my baby.

[Fab_vr6]

sorry for my ignorance, but where can I go track the progress again? I have my Vin already.
