So as we approach week 47 (next Monday 16th) there’s been some movement on my order. As of last Thursday, I’m now at status 150 Planned for Assembly and have been given the VIN number.
And delivery to the dealer is now expected w/c 28th December so a week earlier than previously anticipated. |

Good news Gary. Mines has shifted to the same, now started after having been given w/c 16th Nov...although the latest update from the genius is arrival at dealership w/c 4th Jan. Will hopefully be the week earlier per your update, something to look forward to in the face of covid restrictions - although I suppose should be grateful still in a job!

So my daily check with BMW says I’m still at status 150 Planned for Assembly but delivery to dealership has moved forward again to week commencing 21st December.
Early Christmas present hopefully! |

Jeez, you boys are killing me with your deliveries being accelerated! I just checked mines and it's "in production" but work hasn't started - was told it goes to body shop then paint shop then assembly...still projected to be at the dealership 1st week of Jan 😢

My daily check with the Live Chat team has given me good news - apparently the status is 155 End of Assmebly (F1) which I understand means my car has actually been built!
That puts it a couple of days ahead of week 47 (Monday 16th) as originally scheduled. Going to go and check the shipping times! |

I think my every other day check is making it go slower - mines has been status 150 for about a week...pretty certain the genius team have sent a message to the factory saying, "listen boys, this pr*** is annoying us now, just put his X5 off the line for a few days"

So today my status is 160 Ready for Distribution.
My VIN also now works on mdecoder - everything all looks as it should other than it says it’s Left Hand Drive - hoping that’s just a default error! It does confirm my build date was Saturday as I thought. Unfortunately I think the next available ship leaves Charleston next Tuesday 24th so the fact it’s been built slightly early hasn’t really made any difference. And it’s going to sit for a week before it crosses the pond. Still hoping to get it before Christmas though so happy days! |

That's great news, didn't take long once started. Mines is still status 150 as if today so not hit the bodyshop yet.
I was checking out the configurator today and realised in hindsight I'd have spec'd the seat back charger ports with the bracket holder...too late to change now. I believe you can get a support bracket for a table etc that clips onto the legs of the headrests...would just be for a few long family trips per year so will need to suffice with the latter. Have you ordered a set of the bmw rubber mats? I'm going to get a set for delivery...try and save the carpet mats from getting soaked over winter |

You know something - of all the options I didn’t get, those brackets with the USB chargers are the ones I’m regretting not adding the most! And it wasn’t the expense (I think they were less than £200), I just completely missed them off the order!
Yep I’ve got the rubber mats in my current 3 series so will probably get a set for the X5 also. |

So my order status is still at ‘Departed Plant’ and has been since 16th November. My estimated delivery date to dealer is week commencing 21st December.
There’s been 3 ships that have left Charleston since 16th November so I’m guessing my car is on one of those but I can’t tell which one. Any other UK orders got updates on expected deliveries? Last edited by garysmith21; 11-27-2020 at 05:41 AM.. Reason: Spelling |

Any good vessel tracking sites? From a cursory google search I think there's a chance mines is on the ARC INTEGRITY which was at Charleston 25 November and arrives into Southampton 16 December - 2 days after it is at Bremerhaven
