Another 330e order

Hi guys,

Been lurking for a little while and now taken the plunge for a 330e via our company car scheme.

Can anyone confirm when I would expect to see a VIN and or could start tracking its build? Currently its got a production week of 49-12 and an expected week of 52-12.

Would be a nice Christmas present but I doubt I will see it this side of the festive holidays. Interestingly Pref Cust Hand Dt is 12/12/2019 with Req Delivery Date down as 31/01/2020...??!!

Ask for your BMW order number. Should be a 7 digit number starting with a 4.

Then if you go onto the build section of the BMW website (doesn't matter which model) then click live chat - State your order number and ask for a build stage code

Thanks for that.

It's 1100 Scheduled. So if I'm correct, that means the order has been accepted and it'll be 1200 next which means planned for production?

If you have a VIN try one of the BMW vin sites (there are several). On one of them you will already get a full spec listing of the car.

In 3 days you will be able to download a full user manual

Thanks for that, very helpful although haven't found a full user manual yet.

Today Genius says the car is 9000 Departed Plant and should arrive in the UK week of 16 December.

Good luck getting it before Christmas. It’ll be a week probably at Southampton for PDI. I’m patiently waiting on mine which arrived over a week ago and I’m resigned to it being after Christmas for delivery

Mine was over a week PDI and then another week sat at the distribution centre but finally got a delivery date today for Monday 16th. So 3 weeks total from arriving at port...

Have you managed to download the full user manual yet?

It is available after no more than 3 days after the VIN is issued

Yes I think I'd have to be extremely lucky to see it before Christmas. It's due at the dealer week of 23rd so little to no chance really although with year-end targets to meet perhaps the dealers will try and get cars out before year end that are in the "system"?

Do we know if all UK bound 3s entering the country at Southampton?

Wonder why it takes so long? Just volume of cars I suppose?

If you have the VIN then go and download on iPad, iPhone or PC the BMW drivers guide app.

Fill in your vin and it will download specific to your car.

Thanks guys, I'll go find a user manual.

Had to smile, just caught Genius just before they went home and they reckon it's going to arrive at my "BMW Centre" week of 16 Dec. I said by BMW Centre you mean where the PDI will take place etc??? to which they came back with "no, where you will collect your car". So it's going to be very interesting exactly what transpires on timescales over the next week or so given the comments above!

Don’t take mine as accurate for you mate - mine is a company car on order through Arval. It’s being sent to Partridge of Hampshire who will then arrange delivery to me... in Bridge of Allan - 400 miles away 😂🤷*♂️ - go figure.

I think a lot of it is luck and timing for deliveries. I think my 3 week timescale was on the poorer side. You should be lucky.

Mine's on it's way to the dealer now so will be with them today or tomorrow and they're delivering it to me Monday... Will be a long old weekend
