I was finally able to enter the production # of my car on the BMW owners circle and it read 2008 M3 sedan instead of the X3 2005 that it usually states. The only problem is the color says it is interlogos blue when I ordered silverstone. I called the 800# and they are unable to retrieve the color of the car in the system until production is completed. The representitive told me the website is usually not up to date. I also made sure that when my car went into status 112 that the dealership had all the correct options. Do you think that they are producing the wrong color or the website is not correct?

website is not correct. I wouldn't worry about it since it will correct itself after status 152

I'd check with your dealer quickly. Mine went from a 2004 Z4 to a 2008 M3 with the correct color, and then late the next day the M-DCT showed up to make all the options correct.

My car is out of paint and in assembly now. Should be finished tomorrow they say....this is per the customer relations guy at the 800 number... cool! I hope there are some 19's waiting for it...lol

ihyln · 06-10-2008, 10:42 AM

Turns out that my car is like a day behind yours. Mine entered the paint shop today so if yours finishes tomorrow mine will be done on thursday. I hope I catch the boat on 6/16.

Mine's headed to the port, and I hope there were at least 4 19's left for Tim's car. With my Performance Delivery being on July 17th, I don't know if they'll rush to get it on the ship on the 16th, or wait for a later ship.

omfsgraffs · 06-10-2008, 12:56 PM

Just checked the OC and they posted the correct color.

The OC for my car is still phucked up. Says my car has all the options with wood trim, etc. etc. lol. They do have the color right though. However, it is prolly the default color! hah

NYSPEM3 · 06-10-2008, 02:35 PM

you have nicer weather so it evens out :P

GT3 Tim · 06-10-2008, 08:08 PM

I suppose. I do get to drive year round without much of an issue. No snow here...just fog once in a while.

ihyln · 06-12-2008, 08:38 AM

Car is being transferred to the port of exit. There's a ship leaving on the 17th (Courage) so I think I should be able to catch it.

I'm at the port now

There's also the K-line Emden that goes to Charleston a day or so later, not sure how they queue up the cars.

NYSPEM3 · 06-12-2008, 02:31 PM

yay I made it onto the Fedora, left Bremerhaven yesterday and due in Newark on 6/26

6 days waiting at Bremerhaven... not bad.

Mine is also at the port...guess they had a couple extra 19" wheels lying around for me (or they gave me 18"..LOL).

I am having trouble figuring out wtf ship is coming or going on what date. My car will go to the west coast and I have not found it easy to figure out what ship leaves when, etc. Any advice?

BMW3R · 06-28-2008, 08:08 PM

So, I am finally in production with end production date of July 4th!

NYSPEM3 · 06-29-2008, 09:29 PM

mine got off the Fedora and into the NJ prep center last friday... delivery this week... yay!
