Got My Production Number, but...

My SA sent me a production number, but the BMWUSA.com web site wouldn't take it. I let my SA know and they sent me another number and said it should work, but when I enter the new number I get a message saying "You have exceeded the maximum number of attempts.". I am unable to find any info on how the number of attempts is reset. Is it by time, or does someone need to reset it. My SA is trying to find out how it works, but no joy yet. I also sent a note to the BMW Genius, but they said they have two working days to get back to me. Anyone know how this error is reset?

I'm really anxious to start tracking my car.

Give it a couple of days, especially over this holiday weekend. The online tracking usually takes a day or two to pop up and is generally a day or two behind.

On another front, the tracking will feed your OCD. If you are interested, check out some other threads here like M40 build timeline and S30 build....happy hunting.

Thanks. I have been keeping my eye on the other threads dealing with tracking. I was able to track my 435i from the time it left Germany, across the pond and through the Panama Canal. Even got a picture of the ship going through the canal. I don't really recall the details of how I was able to do that, but I think I have an ID on the web site which allowed me to track the ship across the Atlantic.

My SA did say that production has started, so that helps with some of my OCD.

I don’t think Germany celebrates Labor Day. But giving it a few days may be a good idea nonetheless.

I don't think Germany does either, but I expect the Genius people for the US will celebrate it. In any case knowing that production has started helps.

I have seen that paint is taking a while in other posts. I don't recall that my 435i was in paint for a week, but that was almost 8 years ago and at a different plant.

Since I have not been able to enter my production number into the system, I don't know when my car went into production. I did put in my order over a month ago on an allocation the dealer had already submitted. We just update it to my specifications. SO, I can only hope that the car didn't just start production, but I really don't know yet. Maybe by the middle of next week I will be able to put in my production number and find out what stage it is going through.

Some of us did experience a longer wait time at in the Paint Booth and at the Port. Hope that you get yours soon. But let it be known that we demand pics of when it gets delivered. :P

Just tried again and the BMW site accepted my production number. Guess it takes 24 hours to reset the error.

The car has been painted and is beginning assembly.

Outstanding!! Only other hiccups people are seeing is when it gets to either port. Could be held up due to parts that need to be installed. Unfortunately that could take some time.

The ship carrying my 435i sat at the entrance to the Panama Canal for over a week before it started its passage. Hope that doesn't happen with the Z4.

Not sure about Romer, but I am. Met up with the convoy group from Colorado Springs in Greenville for ZFest a couple of months ago. The 2022 ZFest will be in Snowmass and Jon is working on the details.

Yea, I'm supposed to write a road rally for the 2022 ZFest. Haven't written one for close to 50 years, but I'm pretty sure I haven't lost my skills. The only problem I see is that there are just not a lot of roads to use around Aspen.
