Hopefully BMW Canada will be able to improve by a few days, we have a road trip planned for next weekend, would sure like to have the M4 .
I am not a happy camper .

My car just appeared on the Hansen's site and has an ETA for Oct 6th in Montreal. How can it take more time to move the car from Halifax to Montreal than it did to move from Munich to Halifax .

I'll give them a call tomorrow to see if anything can be done to accelerate the delivery.

To track your car's details:
http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html

To track when your car gets on a boat and when it gets discharged:
https://offices.2wglobal.com/offices...uickSearchPage

Then to track the vessel's voyage through terrestrial AIS:
http://www.marinetraffic.com/

Once it gets to Canada, you will need to find a friend who has CN rail access to get a date for when it gets on a train and moved to you vicinity. Check this forum, there are those here that can help.

Once it is near your vicinity, you can track the trucking to the dealership:
https://www.lhf.com/

(DISCLAIMER - At least this was the way I tracked my car from Germany to Toronto. I know they sometimes can ship using a different company or truck direct without rails. So, this has not accounted for those variances)

Hopes this helps.
for those links. They are proving themselves to be very useful

My experience with Hansen's is they put very pessimistic delivery dates on their site. I expect it will be at your dealer much sooner. Unless you get the right person at BMW, don't expect them to be much help. They just look at the same website.

Just received word from BMW Canada. They asked the carrier to deliver the car to the dealer on October 1st at the latest. The carrier responded that it should not be a problem. So I should be taking delivery on October 2nd, just in time for our road trip .

You are welcome. I just hope I am not doing people a dis-service because now you will get even more frustrated with the wait.

Back when in the dinosaur's age (actually maybe just 15 years ago), you would accept it when the dealers told you it takes 2 months to ship your car. Now, with the internet, you can see every step of the way and of the 2 months, I can see that 5.5 weeks are spent waiting. Real travel time, 3 weeks tops.

But glad BMW Canada was able to help. Enjoy your new ride and share pics, my friend

No disservice at all. Quite the contrary actually.

Because I had the visibility through internet, I was able to take the right actions to improve my situation.

Information is power.

So I get invoiced for my car today and notice that BMW increased the cost of the paint charge for the Moonstone to $1450 from $895 from when I decided to change from the black!That combined with the extra 6 weeks of waiting just makes me wish I had stayed with the original choice

Yeah the new pricing came out in August but they were a bit slow to implement.

Either way. Over a month later, I am still waiting on a proper VIN so that I have some idea as to production week..........

UPDATE: I may actually be a week 44 build. That would be....uh, 3 weeks from now.........
