Question about production tracking

[milorg]

I have seen some of you have been discussing some website where you can see your X5 through production by entering in your VIN number. From what I can gather this been discussed by the US owners.
Is this something I can do as well? (European) I have a VIN number from the dealership when they confirmed that the last items on the wishlist were in, and that the car was now in "production". When I asked the sales guy he said no.

(that's about to self-submit to a mental hospital because the wait for the X5 is making me crazy! )

In the US you can track your car from the day production is scheduled to start all the way until it gets delivered to your dealership (but it is a bit delayed sometimes... my dealer got notification of arrival nearly a week before the website notified me, other than that it is fairly accurate).
They give you a Production # not a VIN #... but I guess maybe you got a VIN# because the car is to be built in the US? My car didn't get a VIN assigned until it reached the US shores
You do this through the BMW Owners section of BMWUSA.com. I guess there must be a BMW Owners web section for each European country?

Interesting, I didn't know such a thing existed. That would help to alleviate the impatience/anxiety.

In US you can either track on Owners Circle at oc.usa.com or 800-831-1117. The toll free # is more up-to-date. Owners circle is few days behind.

I called my dealership had them chk, they did not give me the answer I wanted (it's delayed with about a month) so now I am shifting focus to taking the 74' rati out of hibernation instead.
