I went with a local dealer, order is in, but he didn't give me a date. No luck getting any info from BMW unfortunately. All I know is that my car was put into a production group, but no one seems to know when that group is supposed to actually be built! :P

Yeah, so far Ryan has only given me a verbal about when it's "supposed" to be built. My production number doesn't show up yet when I check via the site. From what I have read in other threads, it seems that the consensus is that Sept builds prob won't even begin until the end of Sept which just means everything else from there on will be pushed back. I have no doubt that I won't see a car until December. But we can hope!

FYI, just called the 800 number about mine and it also says no production date scheduled. :-(

Just using some of the info I gathered on other threads. I hope I am indeed incorrect and that things will happen sooner.

There are at least two forum members with confirmed PW36 dates; I was PW36 but pushed forward to PW38 due to Individual supplier issues.

That gives me hope then! I guess I'll find out one way or another, sooner is better! Lol

Last time I ordered a car it went a lot faster and it went from nothing status to scheduled within about 2 weeks, but I didn't order the car during the 1 month shutdown then, either.

mine says the same thing
but when i spoke to a customer service person
they said its in production with completion around september 2nd
also PW36 here

eisenb11 · 08-30-2011, 03:54 PM

Update:
Just finished talking to my CA and it appears that I now have a new production number. Is this something that happens often? Perhaps they skipped me to a new allocation?

Old number: 365XXXX
New number: 363XXXX

Is smaller better in this case?

Checked with the phone system, and this number is also scheduled, but with no production date.

robb7979 · 08-31-2011, 09:40 AM

I'd be interested in that info too. I have a 364XXXX. I ordered on 8/8

THE TECH · 08-31-2011, 09:43 AM

Mine is 366XXXX and Ryan told me I was in week 41 which is Oct 10-16 which is disappointing but not much I can do.

Kmarei, can you give us the first 3 digits of your production number? I'm curious to see if there is a correlation between the number and production date.

So far we have...

??? = w36
363 = ???
364 = ???
366 = w41

364
keep in mind my production number has nothing to do with my order date
my dealership already had a build slot
in any case my order date was 8/10

Thanks for the updates! I created a new thread here to see if there is any correlation between production number and production date.
