Where are you guys tracing your car through production with such detail?
You can learn a bunch about tracking your car in the FAQ:

Thanks, I had read that thread. Unfortunatley the web site is for US only and we don't have a similar link on Canadian web page. It seems I am left bugging my salesman who doesn't seem to share my enthusiasm for daily updates.

My car has been off-loaded from ship and will be at dealer this week, with my pick up either the Oct. 3 or 4.

BMWusa.com site is really clueless.

This is my Owners Circle status:

Order Tracking - Produced not shipped
Your vehicle is currently Produced not shipped. Click here for more information or contact your BMW center for complete details.

Really useless once the car is produced, shipping info is not very accurate

I've been given my full VIN and even my new UK **57 reg number. The last three letters are FUA which I was particularly pleased with. The U means "You" and the A means "All". You can guess what the F means.

I completed all the forms and payments yesterday and added a phone bracket for my Nokia and GPS Tracker. I've been told ETA is around the 10th October, give or take a couple of days. I'm therefore assuming I'll have my hands on it (or preferably in it) by Saturday 13th October. Can't wait to get the first 1,200 miles out the way. Already planning a trip to DMS. I don't think I'll be able to handle not flooring it before the run in period!!

PS, it's my birthday today, where are my presents??? PPS, if post is not very coherent, blame the very nice wine my wife bought, and i am drinking!

Right, in same situation as you are. The Canadian orders are pretty much up to the dealer's shop with little other tracking available. I guess we just have to be stoic about it.....

Yeah, I just wish that I could check on what my dealer is saying because it just doesn't always seem right. I fear that with demand exceeding supply there are some games being played with orders being shifted about. I hope that is not what is happening. I asked my salesman for an update a week ago, no response yet. I am supposed to have a Sept. production. I would think they could find out if is complete or when it will be complete. But nothing!

I am waiting as well. 5 1/2 months waiting, but I still have my 530i to keep me company.

Ordered the car in May for a 6 speed manual 535i, production week of 38. From limited information in Toronto-BMW Canada, I estimate the car should have just left the assembly line. We up here are not as lucky in getting detailed information like the American members.

It is going to be my 2nd E60 , an upgrade from my beloved 530i . This 6 speed manual beauty is platinum grey with creme beige interior, M sports.

Who else is waiting for a 6 speed manual E60?
I am the only one I hope yeah!!!!!
