I want to try and track the car as it comes over here so trying to get as much info as possible. If I call BMW of Canada will they have any info on my car?
Thanks!

The production week for my car was set to be week #28 (ordered on June 4 for July production). You should ask BMW Canada for the VIN, they should have it by now.
I received the production number from my dealer about a week after the order and used it when talking to BMW Canada. They said no VIN available about two weeks ago, but during the same phone call the CSR eventually found it and shared it with me. My understanding is that production week shows the week when the car is finished, not when the production starts.
Once you get the VIN, keep checking

Congrats on the purchase and good luck with the wait.
