Similarly mine is awaiting deployment to the dealership! Happy days!

At least you are receiving some info - I’m getting nothing and my car’s location can’t even be confirmed ?

It's a software fix related to the airbags. I'm told the car should be at the dealer Monday or Tuesday.

And tonight I've been told that the car is ready for dispatch from it's extended stay on the South coast! Woohoo. Thanks @AndyDubbya for letting me run your car in during your holiday

but I'll have my own toy very soon!

Very kind of you, running in service booked for the day I get back, it’s saved me the bother of going slow for 1200 miles!

Seriously, due at Vines Guildford next week sometime, tentatively booked in for ppf next week too, so should be driving next weekend I reckon…!

I’ve now moved to 195. Can anyone in the UK with more insight as to its true meaning inform me what 195 means in UK context?

Genius have told me it means car has left Mexico but they don’t have a delivery date on the system. My new delivery date is 15 July according to dealer and my mole at BMW Uk

Ooh me too .. 195 as of this week. Expected delivery WC 17th July seems a bit optimistic unless it was on the ship before the status changed.. looks like ours will be together on a ship somewhere hopefully not very close to Mexico..

managerxxx · 07-06-2023, 01:15 PM

From memory mine only switched to 195 when it left Bremerhaven for Southampton but I think others have seen the 195 status from Mexico to Southampton. Do you have the airbag software recall on your cars or has that now been addressed at the factory as I think that's what's held some of us up in Southampton? (you can check with your VIN at the BMW recalls web page)

RichyN · 07-06-2023, 01:19 PM

Checked a week ago and no recalls showing so hopefully not.
My dealer said it was on way from Germany but I think
He is unaware they are made in Mexico. But maybe
He has been told it's the last leg. 🤞

Just checked. No recalls showing
.

gareth09 · 07-06-2023, 01:53 PM

There seems to be a few of us with cars on the last leg to Southampton, I don't want to tempt fate by saying when mine is due, but not long now hopefully. Will be sad to see my G22 M440 go. It's like full circle I'll be back with an M2 where I started my BMW journey 6 years ago.

No recall on mine according to BMW recall tracker

I was told that all Europe-bound cars transit via Bremerhaven in Germany. I'd be surprised if your dealer didn't know that they were made in Mexico!!

You are correct, managerxxx. My status was updated on the 3/07 to 195 and is going direct from Mexico to Southampton not via Bremerhaven.

myaghi · 07-06-2023, 03:08 PM

This is the schedule from K-line. Untill now the boats went to Germany-Bremerhaven first and then to UK-Southampton, but now, from Victoria Highway I see that first they go to UK and then to Germany.

AndyDubbya · 07-06-2023, 05:02 PM

I chose my reg from a list of about 20 possibles today, so it must be getting close!

managerxxx · 07-06-2023, 11:59 PM

And this morning when I checked there's no longer a recall outstanding on my car.
