I had wrong VIN from one forum member, and turns out that his vehicle is currently in transit.

Only only VIN is still not traceable. Hopefully we will see it moving very soon.

Just check Hansen's in case yours was trucked from Halifax. But looks like it is not arranged anything with Hansen's at this moment.

What is the name of your dealer and location if I may ask?
Your VIN shows April 20th production and it has been more than 2 months and that is far unacceptable at all to my experience.

it is Elite BMW in Ottawa. I have told their General Sales Manager that if no solution comes up this week, I will cancel the order. I have traded in my car last week because of inaccurate information about ETA and now I am paying for rental car by myself.

If that is the case, they should at least give you a loaner to accommodate the ETA difference given to you. Try to make this late delivery as to be a chance to make the deal even better. If not, you can cancel it as you said. But they will try their best to still sell it to you. Make a descent offer back to them if they say so, at least to cover what you have paid and will be paying for your rental.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I will see what they will do to fix this deal. or maybe they just don't care.

Curious...now that I have the details on my car and the rail car its in, is there still not a way of tracking the rail car or train itself without a CN account? Been googling all night trying to find a way to track a train but can't find anything. Surprised!

That is their lasted date that they will promise you. Once shows, it will be done in 1-2 days. (lasted maybe 3 days). However, Hansen's do not work on Weekends. As it is Canada Day long weekend coming. Might be a chance that it will be delivered July 3rd. But I think it will be before Friday. (Although I cannot guarantee). Call Hansen's and let them know that you are in urgent to receive yours before the weekend and tell them to rush. They will listen.

Looks like my car will be at the toronto rail yard later today. Can I call Hansen's in advance even before a work order has been created to tell them to deliver it earlier or no?

They will have to have the log booked first. So my guess is no. BMW arranges with Hansen's to get vehicles booked and moving. But what i can tell you is that Hansen's usually fast getting vehicle booked for delivery as soon as CN releases the vehicle. It all depends on how fast CN moves to get yours moving and ready for Hansen's PU and inform BMW about the availability.

Yeah makes sense. The eta in the system is July 4th which is probably what it's going to be because of the long weekend. Anyways, thanks again!

Are you getting Ultimate Package?
What is your loaner?

Yes, my car has Ultimate package. And the car is waiting for the CF part (rear spoiler) at port. They have decided to ship it to me first and install the spoiler later on when the part is available instead of have it sitting at port.

they gave me 330i GT as a loaner. I have zero requirement on the loaner. As long as it is not a broken one, it is fine.
