E93 M-DCT Production Dates?

I'm curious if anyone has received a production date yet for a DCT-equipped convertible. While I don't have an official production date yet (I do have a production number) I was told by the folks on the 800 number that production of my car was scheduled for completion in week 23.

Does anyone else have a production date on their E93 M-DCT?

June 16th. The automated system says "Your car has been scheduled for production with no confirmed production date" (or something to that effect). However, when I asked to speak with a representative, they walked me through my order and confirmed it's scheduled for week 25 (week of 16 June) production. They also said this date may change (for the better).

So, I think we're all in the same boat (except your car should be built the week of 2 June -- week 23 of 2008).

what number did you call to talk to a live person? I have a production number but the online tracking system keeps giving me the wrong car(ive already seen the thread on this problem too). All my dealer can tell me is that my car should arrive in june maybe sometime. thanks.

The number is 800-831-1117. After I called I was told the dealership actually has more up-to-date info on this. I then called my dealer and I'm scheduled for week 24 (E93 w/M DCT), which translates to delivery 1st or 2nd week of July.

So, nothing earlier than week 23 production it seems.

A question for those experienced with this: For an East coast delivery (i.e. NY/NJ), how long does it typically take for a car to reach a dealer? In other words, if the last day of the production week for my car is June 4, when might I expect to see it arrive to my NJ dealer?

When I took delivery of my 530i I got it a day after it reached port.

I've got week 20 build (i.e. this week) but then I live in Europe so it has no bearing on what the production/delivery is like for customers in the US.
