102 - Special Order (no Prod Week)
105 - Order out of Prod. Period

112 - Order scheduled for Production
150 - Production Started

I think when you call the 800 number and speak to a representative they can give you the production code.

So my car was finished Friday and moved to "awaiting carrier assignment", today it moved back to "production is scheduled to complete April 20th".

Is that normal?

Mine has been on the exact same schedule, except it was finished on the 19th. I'm located in Western NY so they'll probably be on the same boat. I'm impatient as well but with this weather it's not so bad....

It is somewhat nice that BMW offers a tracking service. However it does not win any prizes in my eyes. Sometimes the 800, Customer Service Rep, and OC are different. For me this tracking is just a tease. As reported I have been sitting on the dock for 3 weeks and no ship, according to my CA, has been assigned. I say if you are going to do something do it right or do not do it at all. Go ahead slam me, I probably deserve it.

Oh hell yeah. I remember reading about this series in a mag article back in 2007 and saying to my 20 year old self at the time, I'm going to get one of those one day. Now 2012, it's finally happening for me. So yeah I'm stoked, and anticipating the hell out of getting my 1er.

As of this morning, the OC still says my car is at the 'Production Ends' stage. However, by going on the shipping website and entering my VIN, I found out that my car was loaded onto a ship this morning!

Only problem is, it seems that the tracking site (vesseltracker.com) won't give me the location of the ship. I registered with the free account, but the map on the site says "The current position is only available for "Coastal Account" and "Global Account" - which are premium accounts which charge $$$. Should I still be able to locate my ship with the free account?

Hey Justin, use this site http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/def...m=2&level1=140, its completely free it's what I've been using to track mine. You just need to know your vessel name. If you put it into the left side search it will see if your vessel is in range, if not use the top right search for you vessel and it will give you the last trace to it.

do you know if yours will be going East or West coast? You seem to be smack dab in the middle of the country.

Yeah, mine should be arriving at Port Hueneme, CA on the 3rd of May. Then I have to wait for it to go through customs and get shipped to Colorado Springs, CO. Hopefully it will be there about the same time I arrive. But the shipping site I used to track was that same one I told you about a week or so ago, with W&W. Then the ship tracking site I posted a few posts up^.

I entered my VIN into the WW web site but it did not respond with any results. That tells me it is not on one of their ships. My CA is new to this and she is trying but still has not provided much. I will wait a few more days and then contact the service mgr. and see what he/she has listed as far as delivery is concerned.

Hopefully you and your prize arrive at the same time.

I believe you are absolutely correct. From what I can gather my car should come into an East coast port.
