I had my dealer activate the My BMW app with the delivery coordinator. They can back door entry into the app and it will show you exact location of the car and some of the app functionality but not all.
I was able to see the exact location of my car when it left the factory, when it was moved, etc. To be honest it became addictive as my car waited 42 days for carrier assignment once it left the factory. It was in a massive 3rd party parking facility with thousands of other cars. When it did move it went to Zeebrugge, where it waited again for a couple more weeks, until the app updated and showed it on the boat before the dealer even knew it was leaving port. The cool thing about the app it is real time information. I know some members had a challenge with dealers activating, as you don't own the car yet, however, I had a great relationship with my dealer and they were willing to activate. |

No, the car went straight to Zeebrugge and departed from there. It never went to Bremerhaven. The waiting carrier assignment was excruciating as it was waiting for capacity to open up on ships. My dealer did tell me after the fact that BMW was pulling out all the stops to get cars moving with increased ships and new routes. That is what I believe you are referencing, as some customers had this exact situation happen to them, being pulled off boats and put on others. It's quite a logistical exercise.

On a side note, there were also 2 other M cars delivered the same week as mine another M4 Comp and an M3 Comp. We had all ordered early April, and were rolled over from MY22 to MY23.
The M3 Comp was totalled 2 days after delivery as he was T-boned in an intersection. He was fine, but saw a picture of the car. 86K in estimated damage, needless to say it was a write off. Crazy after waiting for your car for 8+ months! |
