240i build - interpreting bmwvin.com

Hey Everyone,
I've got a Cdn M240i (RWD, manual) on order and I'm so excited that I've resorted to hyper-stalking it on www.bmwvin.com to see when it's produced. I plan to follow it along as it makes its way across the Atlantic and to Ottawa.

It's finished production! June 16th. So wondering how long it will take to get to Ontario? Dealer has told me 2nd week of July but that sounds ambitious...

Since you now have your VIN, you can track it using the following:

Timing sounds about right actually. Latest mid-July I should think.

Hey thanks.
Couple questions - is it the full Vin that gets entered on WWL website (www.2global) or the last 7 digits. And there a bunch of fields on the track and trace page: cargo id/customer ref/booking/bill of lading.

Which of these did you guys have success with?

Last 7 digits will do the trick, using the cargo ID if memory serves.

Congrats on the order!

Colour? Interior? Options?

It took mine about 2 weeks after finishing production to arriving in Ottawa. About the same time last year.

Here's the timeline:
Order placed May 30
Production begin June 16
On the boat June 24
In Halifax July 4
Released to CN the same day (not sure when it got on the train)
Arrived at Montreal railhead July 11
Scheduled Hansen's Transport pickup July 12 (Actual pick up July 15)
Arrived at dealership July 15
Ready for pick up July 19

Thanks for the input everyone hopefully I'll see it soon! I've found the boat it's on using 2w global and it's due into Halifax on July 11th.

I've gone for the following on my M240i:
- manual
- mineral white metallic
- coral red interior
- brushed aluminum trim with gloss black highlight
- tech package

I saw a 228 in mineral white the other week and that has really settled me on the colour. I was a little unsure but really loved it when I saw one "in the wild" as they say. I love red so am pretty excited about the interior and the most important part of the tech package is a sunroof as I like the light in the cabin and having it open on a good day. Damn just writing this is making this wait harder!
