How frequently do you check your Order Status?

asv · 02-05-2008, 06:00 PM

I find myself calling the 1-800 number way too much.

larryn · 02-05-2008, 06:02 PM

lol. I did too. Once it's on a boat, you can't do that anymore, and you have to be content looking at the tracking website about 60 times a day. :wink:

Rx8135i · 02-05-2008, 06:05 PM

i call when i wake up in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night before i goto bed.

Oregon · 02-05-2008, 06:12 PM

I just do the BMW OC center once in the morning and once at night - twice a day.

Dave · 02-05-2008, 06:19 PM

i do the oc like once a week
and get calls from dealer every other week
and check the ship about 4 times a day

Is it March 22nd yet?

white911 · 02-05-2008, 07:39 PM

I don't call -- can I find status quicker that way? Now I have a VIN and scheduled for production. But, the next step is awaiting transportation. Does the phone number provide more granularity?

larryn · 02-05-2008, 08:02 PM

Yes. Hands down. I found it gave better info using the automated system, rather than asking for a person to help you on the 800-831-1117 number.
Just call it, say "Vehicle Production Status" and follow the prompts (have your production number handy). You're not bothering anybody that way too.

NJKSC27 · 02-05-2008, 08:18 PM

a better poll would have been "How many times do you refresh 1addicts.com ?"

yeah but the poll increments would be something like...every
1-2 minutes, every 2-4 minutes, etc...

Thanks!! Production completion - 11 Feb -- I guess I don't change anything. The wait might be harder then I thought.

Oregon · 02-06-2008, 06:49 AM

Just checked...........no change, no VIN.

pumaknight · 02-06-2008, 07:05 AM

No production number type thing here in the UK as far as I am aware - I just get regular updates from the dealer (good service all around). The most recent update was it was in the production queue scheduled for build start beginning of March.....too many weeks to wait!!!

Yeah, difficult to track here also as there is no 0800 number to dial. I have registered on OC, but according to the wonderful marketing dept, I can't track it until I have been invoiced and I can't be invoiced until the delaer has it in stock, by which time I will know exactly where it is and will not need to track it now will I? [/end rant]

But I also have a wonderful sales assistant who understands my addiction and does not mind checking on her side.

Mine has finished build today and is soon on its way to the harbour. (PS! Pumaknight, I am also scheduled to take delivery on 4 April.)

Thud · 02-06-2008, 08:51 AM

No production number yet!

By the way, how far along in the process will I still be able to make changes to the order (leather color)? Not that I'm indecisive.

Yeah, it appears to spend almost 1 whole month at sea

Hey Pumaknight! interesting username. My last name is Puma... and I am happy to report that I found out a couple of days ago that my car is on the boat. I was told it is a 14 day journey and it is scheduled to arrive in Charleston So. Carolina on Feb 12th. ---- still won't get the car until sometime close to the US Launch date of March 22nd. :thumbup:
