The waiting hurts

GOLFFRR · 11-12-2010, 10:44 PM

the wait will always be worth it once you get in and start it up for the first time!

My E92 LMB just changed to an estimated build date of 11/22. Let's hope they all leave by the end of the month

Heard today that production completion is now moved up to 11/18! Woohoo! (Every day counts!)

The Woo · 11-16-2010, 02:39 AM

Order my E90 4 weeks ago. And it still show in order on the website and 1-800. How the heck are they going to get it ready for me in 8 weeks for the day i ordered it. What a lie.

alipali · 11-16-2010, 07:22 AM

Ordered on Oct 31... went into production last week....

Funny, I didn't think I'd be tracking my car like the rest of you, but slowly and surely anticipation is building... I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas, and especially so considering my lease expires on Dec 27.

formgen99 · 11-16-2010, 09:35 AM

Ordered mine on 11/5/10 and went into production 11/11/10, currently has estimated completion of 11/18/10. Dealer says it should be in my hands before the New Year

mrkhanna16 · 11-16-2010, 09:44 AM

Does dealership determine pecking order on orders going through at BMW?
Maybe your dealership used all M3 allocations?
My dealer told me they have had orders arrive within 4 weeks.

alipali · 11-16-2010, 04:13 PM

Just got a call from my CA... (Rich Marcus at Prestige in NJ). He calls me when anything new happens, which is great.

Apparently the car went into production the day after I ordered it. That's right - the DAY AFTER. It finished production 3 days ago and is waiting to ship. He said I should get it by very early December or even the end of this month, and that he's never seen one go from order to delivery this fast!!!

I'm freaking happy!

Me 2! I pray we get our cars by the end of the year.

formgen99 · 11-17-2010, 07:11 AM

Just called again, Current status "In Body Shop" with estimated completion date of 11/18/10.

48Laws · 11-17-2010, 07:20 AM

My car is said to be completed by November 23rd.

Congrats to all...

Same here!!

jonasaurus · 11-17-2010, 08:05 AM

Dont think we get this online update feature in the UK! My order is only a week old but was told that it may arrive 3 - 4 weeks from order date.

Mine also got moved up from the 20th to the 19th... woohoo! We might be shipmates

jmrinvt · 11-17-2010, 03:06 PM

111 Order Accepted at AG
112 Order scheduled for Production
150 Production Started
151 Body Shop Started

Am I right in assuming that if our cars are in the Body Shop then steps remaining are:

152 Paint Shop Started
153 Assembly Started
155 Production Completed
160 Released to Distribution
168 AG Stock
170 Waiting Workshop
172 Planned for Workshop
174 Workshop Entry
176 Workshop Complete
180 Waiting for Export Dispatch
181 Waiting for Domestic Dispatch
182 AG Load No. — Released to Carrier
190 Dispatched ex(port?) BMW AG
191 Returned to BMW AG
193 Arrived at Port of Exit
194 Selected for Shipment
195 Shipped from Port of Exit
196 Shipment Arrival — ATA

If our cars are scheduled to be complete in production on 11/18 (tomorrow) it doesn't seem like that really means 'complete' because of Paint and Assembly?

48Laws · 11-17-2010, 04:07 PM

I imagine many of these stages can be knocked out in unison. Don't take the codes literally.

formgen99 · 11-18-2010, 10:21 AM

It's now "In the Paint Shop".

mrkhanna16 · 11-18-2010, 10:25 AM

Mines on the assembly line!!

Right there with you!!

EDIT: ...and I called and found out I am into assembly now.

Here are the 800# steps that someone posted in another forum topic:

"Your vehicle is scheduled for production with no confirmed production date"
"Your vehicle is scheduled for production with an estimated completion date of mm/dd/yy"
"Your vehicle is in the body shop and is scheduled to be completed on mm/dd/yy"
"Your vehicle is in the paint shop and is scheduled to be completed on mm/dd/yy"
"Your vehicle is in the assembly phase and is scheduled to be completed on mm/dd/yy"
"Your vehicle production is complete and is waiting to be released to the carrier"
"Your vehicle was released to a carrier and is awaiting transportation to the port of exit"
"Your vehicle is being transported to the port of exit"
"Your vehicle is at the port of exit waiting for a shipping vessel"
"Your vehicle is in transit. Contact your BMW Center for more information"

so the 800 # doesnt have a recording status for when your car gets to VPC??
