I called up BMW Canada, and they said my M4 order was accepted and production hasn't started yet! I am supposed to take delivery at the end of July. Is this wishful thinking?
How long does an M4 take to build from start to finish in production? 4 weeks? Once the build is complete, how long does it take to get to the dealership in Canada? 2 weeks? I'm guessing I won't get my car until sometime in August! This wait is killing me!! |

Scheduled week 24 production. Confirmation received June 13 that my car was done and enroute to port. According to the ocean carrier website (Wallenius) I checked on June 18 and it showed my car departed Bremerhaven on June 17. ETA Halifax June 30. I expect another 10-14 days to Calgary. I am guessing mid July delivery. In total I would expect 5 weeks from start to delivery. Hope this helps. |

From what I've heard, it takes about a week for the car to go through the production line. The rest on the wait time is generally the shipping process from Germany to port.

Thanks, this is helpful. I would imagine 4-6 weeks from start to delivery is realistic, assuming there are no delays with shipping etc.
Pretty amazing how they can crank out cars on the production line so quickly! Hoping I get a nice, well made example! |

Hey guys. Mine went into production today!! From your experiences what can I expect in terms of timing? About a week until it makes it to the port? Where are you checking the ship schedules? I'm wondering which ship I may be on... next week?

As for checking the ship it will most likely be on a Wallenius vessel You can trace on this page: https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage Type in your VIN number in "Cargo ID". It will show you what you want to know. Then it should load onto CN rail. However CN rail requires login for any tracing. |

I am in Halifax and was told almost two weeks ago that my SO M4 was built and sitting on the dock in Germany for release. Do you think it will be on the June 30th arrival in Halifax ship? My dealer keeps saying it's on it's way

Do you have a VIN? If so check on Wallenius website. I have the link posted in previous messages.

I was in a similar situation and my car just appeared on the Wallenius website this morning on the Independence II after 10 days of getting "no record found"

I am pissed off now. I just called the dealer and they say it has not shipped yet...still on the dock. I have had a VIN for 3 weeks and i bought the thing in mid January under the promise I would get mine first. Not happy right now!!!

I think the cars are serialized before they go to production.I got my serial number the day that it got on the boat as I was too busy to chase it down before that.
