Order number / VIN number UK

I ordered a BMW M340i in the UK on around the 8th of February and I still haven't gotten a order or vin number. The lease company is saying they still haven't gotten one. I want it so I can track my car from the genius live chat.

When did everyone else get their vin or order numbers?

Thanks.

They'll need an allocation before you get your production #/VIN. Plenty of info on this. Expect to wait a few months depending on your region

But I got a delivery time around mid to end of April, so surely they would have a order number or VIN at this stage? Also I've been told the vehicle is in 'build' as of last Saturday now.

If it's being built it will have an order number, so your dealer is telling porkies one way or another.

Okay now I'm getting a little frustrated, I just called up my leasing company and they are saying that the delivery team got an update from BMW and production date is mid June with delivery being end of June. But when I was ordering the car I was told mid to end of April as the latest. What can I do?

1) Wait
2) Cancel and get one that's already in stock elsewhere
3) Find a dealer someone who can get their allocation changed to your desired spec and get it to you earlier than June, then trust they weren't also telling porkies.

Even then you are at the mercy of BMW's supply chain getting it from the factory to you in reasonable time. Mine was build complete on 23rd February and its still in Germany..

Ask the lease company for the name of the dealer who has the order. Then ring the dealer and ask for the BMW order number then you will be able speak with online genius. The lease company will likely not have the BMW number.
