Good thought.

I called everyday untill I got my order to status 150. Now that I know the car is produced and waiting transport. Now I can sit back and watch the clock, "tick-tock-tick-tock"

Did you seriously call everyday? Lol did your SA get annoyed after awhile?

I dont think calling everyday will help in my situation...theres 6 people ahead of me and they have not gotten their 2nd allocation yet. First 2 cars they got are 112 status and will not be sold.

lol I did but my SA is a family friend

. In fact it almost seems as though he would call me more often then I called him. He kept me up to date on every little detail.

ooo i see, my dad has been dealing with my SA for awhile now but i think if i called everyday, or say...once a week he probably get annoyed. I think its best to be on the good side of your SA lol.

It's better to keep in touch with them every couple of days... my sales guy found a 2nd week of February production slot for a sedan, and was all ready to surprise me with a production number... unfortunately, I changed my mind to go for M-DCT, so they had to scramble around to give my car to the next guy, and get me back in the queue for the first M-DCT sedan in April or May.

I see, i was wondering...since im number 7 on the list, lets say noone in front of me wants M-DCT and they have a DCT slot open, since i have M-DCT spec'd does that mean i get that spot which technically means i kind of cut the line?

BMW of Houston North. Same owners as the one in Woodlands. When did you put your order in?

Yeah, I understand that. My paperwork says Req. Prod. Date. So it's definitely not set in stone. And that's why I'm worried.

I guess that simply means you are in the production line with the rest of us who don't have a solid production date but with accepted orders.

Yeah, but I'm still status 047 as far as I know and you're at 111. I have a message into my CA. Hopefully he has good news when I hear from him.

From what I was told today, the jumping in line has been sedan people getting open spots from the coupe and cab waiters, and 6 speed people getting open slots from the m-dct waiters (which is why my original order for 6 speed sedan came open for mid Feb production). Now I'm back in the queue for sedan M-DCT.

I wasn't aware of that. Yes, I'm 111. What is 047?

I think it's the very initial status of when they first put in the order. Not sure if that even means it's been accepted, which might be 087. I'm a little concerned but gasman is going through the same dealership so not sure what's up.

047 is an order entered without an allocation available.

GregW / Oregon · 01-30-2008, 04:45 PM

Thread jack--I just turned 150! Was thinking about going with DCT, but it's out of my hands now. Here's what I'm getting:

On the other hand, big congrats to you!

When I log onto BMW owners circle all I get is "on order" status. How do you find out the number?
