I can't recall nor find the number but it is an 800# to BMW USA. All you need is the last 6 of the vin or the production number and it will give you a status. When I was tracking my vehicle, the site said "waiting to be shipped" yet phone said it was on a shipping vessel. I was also able to track the shipping via the shipping vessel website. All east coast shipments leave from Bremerhaven in Germany via Wallenius Wilhemsen and service all ports on the east coast. I'm unsure about other parts of the country. You simply plug in the vin on their site and it tells you the status and port of the vessel in question.

My 2004 325i lease is about to come up. I am paying $492 a month and it was on a 2 year lease with 15K miles, no money down, taxes included. My original sticker was around $37000 Does anyone know how much A $37000 325i will be on a lease now? Same parameters, 24 month, taxes rolled in, except I would do 12K a year. I keep seeing advertised the same deal I was on in 2004 at about $30 more a month, equipped the same was the base car was equipped back then.

Cool deal I will call in a week or so. The dealer told me about the shipping website for tracking the car across the Atlantic. I also have some friends in the container business who said they can give me specifics when I give them a vessel name and arrival port.

Call 800-831-1117 and select Option 2 or say "Vehicle Production Status" when the computer voice answers.
 
Have your Prod # or last 6 of VIN available.

36 mo/45k mi – Residual 60% – .00260 Money Factor
 
Dealers will typically mark up the money factor the maximum amount allowed (.0004).. But, you should always insist on the base rates...

Thanks. I called and it is going to finished on the 19th. The Owners circle updated today with a VIN to and "Scheduled for Production" status. The anticipation is killing me.

Good lease deal on a BMW 325i by briwill21
Jan 13, 2006 (6:57 am)

In the Charlotte area...
325i
Metallic paint
Automatic
Premium
Sat Prep
 
$34,886 is the deal agreed on ($36,320 MSRP)
 
But 3 year lease with $0 down (first month's payment, taxes and everything, but no additional $$s), 36 months and 12K miles is $532 per month plus taxes.
 
He told me residual was 64%.
 
I was happy with the overal price $34,886 (4% over invoice), but he started playing games on the lease pricing..."sorry our first price we quoted you, we used the wrong residual, so that number isn't valid"...blah, blah. I walked out after 90 minutes of negotiations...not that I think he was too far off the price, but that he played enough games where I was in a position of feeling he was playing games to get the pricing up. Right or wrong, it was time to leave.
 
Anyway, what do you all think? And thanks to all for the advice on leasing versus buying given my scenario. That was helpful.
