Oh joy, well at least I'm slightly comforted that it's not an issue that solely faces my car. I'm sure you've done the same but the recall seems to be related to enhancement code 0065100400. I'm trying to establish if this is the digital key issue reported elsewhere in the forum.

I think I must have been really lucky rolling off production and on to a boat that departed within a day or two but the lack of information the the UK Genius chat has compared to their US colleagues is frustrating. They don't have the boat name, eta, etc and now it's literally a case of being stuck in an information black hole until the boat arrives in Bremerhaven.

What stage is yours at? Is it still 160?

And how do you know it’s on a boat?

I've been at 165 for some time ago which, I'm told, is departed Mexico en route to Bremerhaven so I'm hoping it's on a boat and not trying to paddle its way across the Atlantic

This is great - thanks for sharing. I've been looking at various ship tracking sites to no avail but I'm pretty sure I've worked out the ship/eta now thanks to this.

Ok I've now established that the Enhancement Code is related to the airbag software. I'm not aware of seeing anyone else reference this on the forums so far....

[Giggsy]

Thanks for the update

Mines been 160 for quite a few weeks and last updated on the 17/4

Was hoping it’d be heading to Germany by now

How will they be transported from Bremerhaven to the UK? Train?

I understand that it's another sea crossing to Southampton docks. Whether or not they stay in the same boat or get off-loaded to another is not known to me.

[Giggsy]

Looks like if it’s not loaded today then the next ship for Germany doesn’t leave till June which puts me in a late July delivery which is a month later than I was told

My allocation has just been brought forward to Build next week.
They (BMW Chat) reckon delivery to my dealer week commencing 3rd July. So maybe the transport is not as bad as it seems. Previously was
expected early August.

Guess I’m in the same boat, so to speak. Also 160 as of yesterday.

Is yours subject to the technical campaign like mine & managerxxx’s?

Nothing on the notes I got sent by the dealer

He sends me the screen shot every week but tbf I chase the bmw online genius every Tuesday just to be on the safe side 😀

My build is BG black wheels, auto. Comfort pack and driving assistant pack.

Manager thats great news. I was attempting to do the same for you - looking at various ships enroute to Bremerhaven. I hope this is successful for you!

BMW chat now telling me there is no technical campaign marker against my car! Still 160 & delivery w/c 19/6

I wonder if perhaps they perform the necessary software updates on any cars hanging around in the docks? Have you looked up the VIN on the BMW recall web page? https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/footer/quic...e-recalls.html (Mine was showing as requiring an update on this page)

[AndyDubbya]

No, my sales guy says mine hasn’t got a VIN yet. I suspect he’s fobbing me off though, I’ll try again.

[D4VE]

I’ve had a confirmation of delivery week 25 commencing 19th June.

That's got to be wrong surely - the car must have a VIN if it's ready to ship given it's visible from the windscreen.

[AndyDubbya]

Sorry, I meant it hasn’t got one that he can see on his system!

Lies surely! I've got mine even though the Production date is 8 May!

[AndyDubbya]

Let’s be generous and say he’s been looking in the wrong place on his computer

I’ll chase on Tuesday.

Do any of these shipping trackers (found on the i4 forum) work with our VINs?
