Awaiting Carrier Assignment Purgatory
My car was built on September 28, 2022 and has been sitting in Awaiting Carrier Assignment in Dingolfing ever since.
If you've ordered and received a car this year, how long did you have to wait for carrier assignment. I'm getting a little antsy knowing it's been sitting there for 3 weeks doing nothing. |

My carrier assignment this spring for our G30 took over a month. Then everything after that happened rather quickly.

I've called the Genius line a couple of times. I get different info depending on who picks up. Today the lady said she'd be surprised if it wasn't assigned a carrier by the end of this week, then she went on to say when it gets to port, it could sit for another month before it's in transit. I'll be p***ed if that's the case. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options for 530es right now, so I've just gotta suck it up.

That's encouraging. Another user had a short wait for a carrier assignment and a long wait at the port. I'm hoping I don't have a long wait at both places. I'd hoped to get it by mid-November.

What's the priority code of the order? Mine was set to "1 - Customer Sold". I'm thinking if it's on a different priority code, it could end up sitting and waiting for higher priority cars to get shipped first? Definitely suggest reaching out to the dealer. |

I also agree that your dealer probably has better information on the progress of your build. Sometimes my dealer contradicted what the web site was saying, but in the end, the dealer was more accurate for me. |

Update
I called my dealer who in turn emailed the port in Germany. Apparently if there are parts that are easy to put on after the fact, BMW will build the car and circle back to put the missing part on at the port prior to ship ing from Germany.
My car falls into this bucket. He said the longest he's seen a car sit for this issue is 2 months, so hopefully the missing part will be thrown on soon so the car can ship. |

The sales manager said typically it's due to a missing screen for iDrive. Hopefully I hear back in a day or so. I really DGAF what the issue is. I just want it moving. 🤣😂 |

Try entering your VIN at this site to possibly see the status of why your car is not moving.
https://bmw-recall-tool.netlify.app My car was built Nov. 2021, fast tracked all the way to Port Hueneme CA and then sat at the port for 5 weeks waiting for a receiver audio module. Your dealer should know the exact status of why your car is delayed by logging into the BMW order system, mine did and kept me informed all the way to delivery.
