Like I alluded to previously, you can contact genius online through a chat box. They will then give you a status update which will be what it is - e.g. 9650 awaiting despatch to dealer - this my current status. Your dealer could also give you a screen shot of your current order status. I won’t copy my latest for data protection reasons. On US sites, you can access different status codes although they are very similar. For me, I tended to ask genius for an update weekly or fortnightly and then the dealer provided regular updates as the car got closer to delivery. Hoping that this helps.

Based on many comments I've read on here it does seem as though you now get automatic emails when codes change. Not sure how that works though for orders through 3rd party lease companies.

There has certainly been nothing automatic about my contacts, other than my badgering being on auto. A good dealer should, however, provide updates when he has them. Mine advised me that he looked up on his system for updates and now the system advises him that an update has been made.

The automated email updates tend to be waaay behind the actual status...... I had an email today telling me the vehicle has "reached the paintshop" but dealer has told me it's left the factory and now at the port waiting for shipping!

In my case on Monday this week the system said my car was at Port of Exit awaiting clearance from German Customs and then today I’ve been told it’s here, cleared UK Customs and awaiting despatch. The dealer has been told it will be with them on 7/7/21 !!! |

Apparently the dealer is expecting to get the car on 7th July, that's what they've been told and then relayed to me. Once it's cleared the Port at Southampton it goes up to Thorne, they do whatever they have to do up here then it will be dispatched to the dealer.
We've got delivery arranged for the following week. My wife took a phone call from the dealer today, I wasn't available to take the call, and he's ringing me back, tomorrow presumably to put some proposal to me, whatever the hell that might be?....I've absolutely no idea so it will be interesting to hear what he has to say?...all he told my wife when she enquired was that it was nothing wrong with the car! |

Will do! Yep Thorne is a damned sight closer to me than the dealer as well! As the dealer said it, “It passes us and then comes back down to us a few days later!”

It maybe that they will offer you a delivered vehicle from Thorne, or possibly a chance to collect it from there. It is something that they did during lockdown when many cars were held up at Throne where the staff had been furloughed. Just a thought.

Arghh well; still good news. Just heard that mine is 27 minutes away from the dealer. Two days for them to prepare before Friday morning.

That's the issue with it being NHS Fleet. They send an update email every week (this is the first one with a date). But because they go through a leasing company, who go to a dealer. I'm never gonna get the BMW order number from them to be able to track it properly. 😒

At least you are getting updates of a sort on a weekly basis. On an optimistic basis it is not uncommon for BMW to move production forward either.It all depends on their production sequences and they shuffle production weeks about to reflect demand.Mine was confirmed for wk 28 for weeks on end then suddenly got brought forward to wk 26. only a couple of weeks I know but every little helps! Fingers crossed! |
