I really don't know what the issue is about providing sensitive information nor about limited production cars. It is corporate issue that has to do with willingness to service customers. When you order a BMW, limited edition or not, you can get or the dealer gives you your order number. You can go to the BMWUSA site and enter the owner's circle and track the production of your car no matter which country it is being made. I tracked the production and shipping of my limited production Z8 (13 months from order to delivery), I tracked the production and shipping of my 530 xi T sports wagon. My best friend was able to track the production and shipping of his 2006 BMW 330i. All of these cars were made in Germany. My daughter was able to track the production, shipping and delivery of her BMW X5 which is made in S.C. Our local dealer manager and the sales personnel love the system because they don't have to answer the inevitable questions about what is happening with me car. The system even tells you when it is at the dealer! Through all of that BMW doesn't provide any sensitive information about productio, etc. The system tells you what stage of production your car is in and is updated at each change in the process. The in my case when it was put on the ship, when it arrived at Baltimore, the when it was put on the truck, etc.
So the system can be done and maybe other manufacturers have such systems. I don't know. IMHO...it is such a simple thing to do and add to the Saturn.com site and would be a great service to those who order cars and have to wait months and months to get them...
