i am stressed...

topvega · 03-08-2008, 01:16 AM

I have been calling the 800 number every day and I am still scheduled for production but with no production date...i just want a date so i can relax for a bit... ok i am lying.. i want my damn car..lol but a date wld be nice.. I feel like a stalker calling every day...lol

Robert · 03-08-2008, 02:37 AM

hahaha.

I purposely try to ignore the fact I ordered a car. So far it works out pretty well.

mrgoochio · 03-08-2008, 07:47 AM

Same, although I check the OC every day.. I've only called the 1800# twice, and spoke to a live rep only the first time. Trying to stay away from the 1800# so I can surprise myself with some progress each time I call. It's working out so far... but I would really like to see the car in my garage. Perhaps I'll sleep in my car the first night I get it

My friend did that the first FEW nights he got his prelude :eyebulge:

kfiducia · 03-08-2008, 07:53 AM

you had better work something out because if you are that bad before production i can't imagine how bad the week its at the VPC will be.

Year1of1 · 03-08-2008, 08:37 AM

when did u order?

Bdh821 · 03-08-2008, 08:52 AM

They will give you the most up to date info on your order. You need your production number or VIN number to give them. They have both electronic answers and real live people to talk to.

OMG! You don't know "The Number"?!? 800-831-1117. Call it. Say "Vehicle Production Status". Read them your Production number or the last 7 digits of your VIN. Say which of the two you gave them, and then the lovely robot will give you your status! Or you can speak to a live rep. I have called that number everyday since I found out I went into production.

^^^^^Beat me to it!

Bdh821 · 03-08-2008, 09:21 AM

Hey thanks for the info! I can't believe I've never heard of this yet....:roundel: But apparently my car has no confirmed production date yet

fuhgetaboutit · 03-08-2008, 09:47 AM

Getting a production date won't make you any happier I imagine.

My car has been sitting at the VPC for two f'n weeks now.

TunedM2C · 03-08-2008, 07:48 PM

My car will be done on 3/11. When should I expect delivery?

gregthegr8 · 03-08-2008, 08:05 PM

Hey Tuned1 - My car will be done on 3/11 too. I originally had expected it sometime in May, but now they are saying maybe end of April. Let me know if you get any info re delivery. Mine would probably take an extra few days of course cause I'm on the west coast. Counting the days...

Robert · 03-08-2008, 09:15 PM

can it give you boat name?

plien69 · 03-08-2008, 10:46 PM

Neither the 800# nor the Owner's Circle will give you the boat name. You'd have to talk to your CA to find out which boat you're on, or try each shipping company's web site through trial and error.

You should expect delivery (in your hands) approx 5 weeks (+/- a week) after completion of production...

Your car will be coming into an east coast post, so approx 1 week after production, go to the website below:
1. Click on "Track by Auto cargo"
2. Enter your VIN in box "Cargo id"
3. Click on "Track".

Once your vehicle is ready for shipment, you'll see entries posted and it will give the name of the ship your 1er is on..

That's only for Wallenius Lines. West Coast people don't use Wallenius, and don't have a similar system to use, unfortunately.

just call your SA and have him look it up in his cpu...
https://www.dealerspeed.net/ that is BMW NA tracking
www page.

Hope that helps.

This is how I found out about my car being on the Global Leader ship.

Cheers,
