Call BMW NA. I did and they told me that my car is out of production 'awaiting transport.'

Then I call again and talked to a customer rep. would said that it would be on the shipping vessel by the end of next week (7 days). He couldn't give me the name of the vessel because it was too early.

I meant 1/20 for completion? Did the customer service rep have more info then the recording?

Yes, it was suppose to be 1/20/05, so it's a day early.

Rep. just stated that it should be on the shipping vessel by the end of next week. At which time, he could give me the name of the vessel to track. He said that's all for now.

I have been tracking 2005 Silver Grey 545I cold weather, Navigation, Premium Sound, Rear Electric Shades Satellite Radio and Septronic Automatic Trans, my baby is listed as being "at Final Preperation Center" for over a week now. The dealer told me that the car has been gone through the center and has been released to the car carrier for delivery to my Dealer. The tracking site shows no delivery date to the dealer yet but the site still shows my baby being at the preperation center. Te car is on a priority one as it was a speacial order and my dealer told me they move priority one orders out first. My dealer is only 3 hours from NJ, whats taken them so long. I need the boards help, who or where at BMWNA can I e-mail or call to find out the real deal about where my Baby is> I tehn can take this information back to my dealer and put him on the spot with the reality of where my car is compared to the many fantasies he has been telling me for the last 2 weeks since it arrived in port?

Might be longer than you think. I ordered a 545 SMG, Sport, NAV, HUD, Black Ventilated Comfort Seats, Logic 7, Fold down rears & Rear power sun shades, on 12/12. Today I was told by my dealer that it has been pushed back from 2005/01/04 production to 2005/02/05.
