Tracking my new 228i build ?
Hello guys,
I called BMWUSA yesterday and talked with a very nice customer service rep. My new 228i 6MT has a "completion date" of 1/21/2016...the build was started on 1/12/2016. She always provided me the last 7 digits of the VIN. OK, when I log into the BMWUSA website and type in the vin number and type in the "rolling code" my build cannot be located. Any hints, suggestions or some other BMW website to "follow my car" ?? Thanks |

I'm still not able to track my car on the BMW site, but I am able to get info from the 800 number. It's just says that my production completion date is 1/21 though. I haven't called the genius line yet.

PCD is picking up the car at the Spartanburg Performance Center. BMWs factory in South Carolina. I'm picking up my Gray Ghost there on March 9th.
I was never able to track on the myBMW site either. It claimed that my car was at the dealers awaiting my pick up. WRONG! I have had good luck with the 800 number while the car was in Germany. Right now, it's 5 days west of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic. It's suppose to dock in Charleston on January 22nd. |

Hemi, how long did it take for you to get your PCD date? My CA says that he hasn't heard from them yet. :/ I ordered on 12/14 and got my production date around 1/1...I think. Anyway, he said that he won't get the date until my car has reached a certain point in production.

Sometimes the production number changes. You make get one prod number at order with a build date of 3 months from now, but then it changes to dealer allocation which was scheduled for one month from now, so they modify that order and you then get a new prod number and an earlier delivery.
I don't know if the plant was building cars on 1/1, though. |

Sorry to hear.. so hard to wait. There are a lot of 'stages' the card goes through from order to delivery. Pretty much it needs to be scheduled into a daily production pack for a particular day. You're just a few hours north of Spartenburg so can I assume you are picking it up at the performance center? |

Search the forums I forget how exactly but you can put the 800 number in as a contact, have a few commas for pause, make all the selections, put in your prod number etc. so you can one touch dial to get the info.
