Anyone else encounter a "site down for maintenance" message when accessing BMWusa.com/myBMW website today? Not that I expect to see anything different in the production tracker for my car other than "Your car has entered the production queue" but it has been all day with no access.

I have encountered this several times over the past few months. I have not noticed any changes or performance improvements when it comes back up.

Weird. Tried to access this morning and got the same down for maintenance message. It's been 24 hours of being offline.

UPDATE: there must have been some cookies/cache terrorism happening with my browser. I refreshed via F5 and things finally loaded up for me.

That's not a bad deal all in. Glad you were able to shop it some.

Might be similar to what I just experienced.

I got a call from my CA that my car just entered the production queue.

So I logged in to just see it myself, and it didn't come up (blank screen). Tried a different browser, and it worked. Might be my settings blocking something.

Order
9/30 111 Order Accepted

10/20 Scheduled for Production

10/24 Production Begins (VIN assigned)

11/05 Entering Assembly Line

11/07 Final Assembly (production date 11/06 per F12 trick)

11/07 PM Ready for Transport

11/14 AM In Transit on the Tanabata https://maritimeoptima.com/public/ve.../TANABATA.html

11/14 Received dealer email stating at the port later today and with any luck at the dealership week of Thanksgiving

11/16 At the Port (my garage tracking)

11/21 at the dealership

11/22 in my garage at 6:00 PM

Essentially 30 days from "production begins" to "in the garage"??

That's quick!

I'm in the Austin area, so this is a good possible reference for me. My car JUST entered "production begins" today.

I'm in San Antonio and got min through Principle BMW here and mine started assembly on the 9th of Nov. Went in to RFT on the 21st of Nov and has sat there since for the last 3 weeks. Still waiting for a carrier assignment. hoping it changes soon so it gets here before the end of the month.

Won the tire lottery as well!

Long overdue, congrats!

Where in PA? I'm currently shopping around as well.
Thanks.

Yeah it must have been a cache/cookies thing with my browser. I refreshed the page and then it worked. My car is slated for Dec 18th production so I know the status will still be the same but I keep checking anyways.

Yeah, I'm learning that the RFT stage is the biggest wildcard on the timeline!

Here's to hoping it gets on a ship ASAP!

I think it would be crazy NOT to keep checking!

I can't complain though...I had not been waiting all that long compared to some others here, so I'll just wait impatiently...

I hear ya. I was on two different dealers' waiting lists starting last winter up until July when I pulled my name off the lists. Reason being I couldn't sell my previous car and I was having a hard time committing to a $65K car without the chance to test drive one. Fast forward to November I got to test drive the new M2, car got sold, so I put my name back on 1 waiting list at my nearest dealer. As of 2 weeks ago I was still #7 in line. Randomly the other local dealer texted me saying an allocation opened up so I grabbed it. It's funny how things work out.

That's a good point...crazy how things work out sometimes!

I was able to go to my local dealership and saw one on the lot that someone had just backed out of. I didn't even ask, because I guess I assumed they wouldn't allow test drives for that car.

The CA offered, so I was able to drive it (and it was a 6MT!) and I was hooked. Put in the order within a couple of days.

That's not too bad at all. In my town, the one shop here wants $10k for a full ppf, which seems absurd to me.

If anyone want's to stop waiting, I have a one-off Black on Black, Manual Trans M2 available for 6% off + free shipping anywhere in the USA (besides Hawaii)

Vinknee's car just arrived at dealer. Getting down to short strokes for this list. https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...84&postcount=1

Just heard that my car arrived at port hueneme. CA said it will be up here in NorCal late next week!

Order and allocated October 10th, fingers crossed I take delivery by the end of the year.

Carbon roof, otherwise rather stock no port options.

Yeah mine has been sitting there for going on a month now.

[sclouzon]

Going on month 5 waiting for production to start. Yesterday i moved back from “production scheduled” to “order received”, for the third time.

Genius said they dont know why it has been bouncing back and forth. My CA said he has another customer that ordered a week after me and is having the same problem. He also confirmed it is the carbon pkg, and that i have been moved to February now.

February will be close to 7 months since allocation, and I have no faith this is the last delay. I really dont know what to do anymore; i wanted this build for so long but i feel strung along at this point.

Its more than likely the carbon buckets holding you up. I know a ton of people from early 2023 are still waiting as well, so you aren’t the only one. Worst comes to worst you get your car later in 2024 or they roll you over to a 2025 model (not the worst case scenario). It’s all about the long game with it really as much as it sucks to hear.
