Week 11/12 builds

GXTCHA · 03-05-2016, 12:39 PM

My week 11 build popped on 3/2. I guess I was lucky, depending on how you look at it... I added ZCP last minute on 2/29 first thing in the morning and it didn't delay my build:

F80 M3
Mineral Grey Metallic
Black Extended Merino Leather
DCT
ZCP
ZEC

The struggle is real...

Golfster · 03-07-2016, 03:45 PM

BMW Genius line indicates my car is scheduled for completion 3/15/16.

GXTCHA · 03-07-2016, 07:57 PM

Yesterday the 1-800 number gave me an expected completion date of 3/12 (Saturday). Not sure if that is correct or not but hopefully that means it will be done this week.

vasi_M3 · 03-07-2016, 08:23 PM

Just let go of my 2015 manual M3 today as she barely clocked 6k. Got lucky on a Production slot which is just about to begin and now I'm patiently waiting for my new //Misstres.
She's a : 2016 M3
Mineral White
Comp pack
DCT
Cloth seats

Yeah...she's got the enthusiast package alright

ptbarnacle · 03-08-2016, 08:12 AM

Just got off the phone with Genius and my M3 went into production this morning! When he put me on hold to "pull up some more info", my heart dropped that maybe I didn't sign some additional piece of paper to ensure it's my allocation and dealer gave it to somebody else.
But, he came back and said, "Great timing on your call, your Mineral White M3 just entered production this morning and is scheduled for completion March 17th."

Not sure if that's good or bad. St. Patrick's Day and all. Better 17th then the morning after I guess.

I didn't have a very good day yesterday so this was much needed. Things are definitely looking up.

Anybody else scheduled for finishing about that time?
I need to start reviewing ship schedules to the West Coast.

teefive · 03-08-2016, 04:57 PM

Just got off the phone with Genius too: my car is in 112 now and starts production tomorrow -- very excited!

Mine started producing yesterday morning, so it seems like we will be journeying together! Although I am in NY, which I was told is the fastest port from Germany, so I'll probably get mine a bit sooner.

That's cold. Rubbing it in that we have an extra couple weeks to wait for the West Coast!

ptbarnacle · 03-09-2016, 10:14 PM

BMW website is definitely 48hrs behind genius updates. Site finally shows it's in production. Will call tonight to get a better estimate on completion date. 2 days to get to port to catch a ship doesn't seem plausible and next ship is a week later!

Here is the W&W shipping schedule from Bremerhaven to Port Hueneme in SoCal.
I hope to make the March 19th otherwise it's a week later. Still researching other shippers.

Insane!!!! You know what's even crazier? I changed my build at the last second from Silverstone/Silverstone to MG/Silverstone!!!

This will be my second PCD, and yes, it definitely delays delivery by several weeks (we could easily have our cars next month), but I definitely think it's worth the wait; such an awesome experience.

Not to mention, by the time I drive back to Detroit, I'll be halfway through my break-in period

It's so crazy to think that all of our cars are on the production line right now...this forum is awesome!!!

Haha, I live in South Carolina -- so it's a much easier (and perhaps a no-brainer) trip. Good to hear it's worth doing

MG will look awesome.. The darker colors look better when they're clean.. Unfortunately I don't have a garage, so I opted for the silver to keep it cleaner longer. Was on the edge between Yas and SS, but decided I didn't always want to stand out.

Who's on first · 03-10-2016, 09:42 AM

How are you guys getting the shipping schedule?

Can someone help me out?

My ED date is April 20th. I'll be dropping it back off Friday the 29th, and loginout.

Like to know, if it would make a sizable difference dropping it off a day early, the 28th.

Going to Port of Baltimore.

There is a sticky in this section on ordering and tracking. You have to read it.
This section includes:

Up until now, you have been getting updates from BMW Genius that are generally within the last 24 hours accurate. But this is where the updates slow down. To start, you will not know your car is on a ship until about 2 days AFTER it's already been put onto a ship and left the dock. The most common carrier used for BMW is Wallenius and Wilhelmsen, with Kline and NYK a close second. Below is a link to the various shipping companies BMW uses and their shipping schedules or search pages. Here you can play for hours, searching the possible ships your car will be on based upon the destination port and shipping date, etc.
http://www2.nykline.com/vesselschedu...nableCheck.nyk
http://www.nykroro.com/customer/schedules.html
http://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?url=...ppSchedules%2F
http://www.arrcnet.com/schedule/arcs...asp?S=NAEU&D=W
http://www.kline.com/KAMCarCarrier/S...g_Schedule.pdf
http://www.molroro.com/MOLVesselSchedule.aspx

I used Wallenius Welhemlsen for the schedule as they are BMW's most common carrier.
http://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?url=...ppSchedules%2F

Bottom line is that you may not know which ship until you're already on it.

Sorry man. Didn't mean to rub it in! Look at it this way, you'll probably be able to drive her in nicer weather when you do get her.

Haha. El Niño has changed the weather. Been raining a lot this year vs severe drought for last couple years. Was perfect weather for a convertible, but now.....?
Hoping I'd drys up by delivery.
