Tracking the production of your new BMW can be an exciting \u2013 and sometimes frustrating \u2013 experience. While BMW client advisors are typically good judges, tracking your BMW order yourself is easy and not terribly less precise. Plus, it\u2019s generally more convenient for all parties involved to simply keep tabs on it yourself.\u00a0The good news is, tracking your ordered BMW has never been more convenient. If you don\u2019t know how \u2013 or simply want clarification on what some of the steps mean \u2013 we\u2019re here to help!<\/p>\n

How Do I Track My BMW Order?<\/h2>\n

After placing your order, if you don\u2019t already have one, you must create a bmwusa.com login<\/a>. After creating your account, you can login and access \u201cMy BMW Garage\u201d in the top left corner. Click \u201cTrack my BMW\u201d, and then enter the seventeen-digit VIN. You can also use the \u201cadd a vehicle\u201d button on the initial landing page. If you don\u2019t have a VIN yet, you can track by production number, too. If you don\u2019t know your production number, ask your BMW dealership \u2013 they\u2019ll have it for you!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve Placed an Order, But Don\u2019t Have a Production Number?<\/h2>\n

Congratulations, you have placed an order internally designated as \u201c047-status\u201d. This means your order has been submitted to BMW, but the dealer has not yet received an allocation to fulfill it. This simply broadcasts to BMW Headquarters that the dealer has an order that needs to be fulfilled. You can\u2019t track 047-status cars, and the dealership doesn\u2019t have a definitive way of knowing the timeline, but they can make very educated guesses.<\/p>\n

What is BMW\u2019s Allocation Process?<\/h2>\n

The current allocation process is a bit complicated, but here\u2019s a quick summary. Essentially, dealers are awarded based on how quickly they sell the vehicles on their lot. The best performing stores receive the largest percentage of total scheduled production. It\u2019s important to remember that for high-demand cars, like the M3 or M5, total production is still low compared to normal levels. So, even high-volume dealers may still only get two or three allocations per month \u2013 or less.<\/p>\n

How Long Do I Have to Modify My Ordered BMW?<\/h2>\n

An 047-status car can be modified indefinitely. Upon receiving a production number, there is a limited amount of time to modify the order. After the car enters production and receives a VIN number, it cannot be modified by anyone.<\/p>\n
