I recall there was a very helpful post and website in the past that provided very detailed information re: where your vehicle was in its production. Much more detailed and comprehensive than the "my garage" section of the bmwusa website.

If I recall correctly, this provided buyers with ways to track production from initial order, to shipping across the Atlantic, to the VPC and finally out to the dealership. I remember using this with my two prior 5 series purchases but can't find this anywhere now.

Can anyone point me in the right direction so I don't have to resort to taking medication to deal with my OCD? LOL

Is there something more than MyGarage? I did all my tracking there.

My garage is OK but it's often not updated accurately or quickly. It also doesn't provide the current status number and several other things.

When I bought my previous vehicles I remember someone posted a very helpful and detailed guide that went far beyond the information provided by "my garage."

In my recent experience, MyGarage was almost a week ahead of Genius in terms of where my car was.

I think that software is now dealer only, but My Garage is really good at keeping up to date. The assembly process is a matter of days. I slept through most of it due to the time difference. Once you get to Bremerhaven, you will be on your own. I found web sites for every RoRo shipping company, looked up start and end ports, with dates and made a grid. Genius will tell you the ship name once you flip to In Transit. Then comes vessel tracking. I watched my ship go through the Panama Canal on webcams. (Both locks). I watched port traffic so I knew when the ship docked. I’m now in the distribution center waiting on a software update. But, I found a site to track when it gets installed. Yes, I am obsessive.
