Can you track your vehicle with a VIN that's in production right now.

Supposely at bmw owners circle, but I never was successful.

You going back to the Escalade Denalio? I may take another look at it also with these ridiculous lease rates.

I am thinking about it. Going to bring one home tonight.

as above poster said, you can track it in the owners circle on bmw's website. I think you'll need your production number which you should have if you already have the VIN. I tracked my e92 from beginning to end, but you'll soon realize that the website is no where close to real time.

800-831-1117

will give you more up-to-date and grainular information than the website. For whatever reason the website still seems to be often out of sync.

I've fustratingly been stuck in production complete and waiting to be released to carrier for a week. It seems like this is taking as long as getting my m3 from Germany.

By the time you start to track it,it will be built,it's not quite the same as European cars,once you know the day it's being built,it'ds done and loaded on a truck to the dealer.

Hey MichX5, did you decide which vehicle yet?

Just got a word from my dealer saying all of the x5 production is being held at the factory...is there a way to confirm this?

Yeap.

I'm totally screwed too. I entered into status 155 (production finished / QA check) on 12/2 but apparently there is some quality problem that has caused them to halt all shipments.

There must be a production problem which scares the hell out of me. I'm guessing I will bail out and get a Cayenne or RR sport instead. Waiting and waiting with no communcation from BMW sucks and I don't want a beta product.
