Who has ordered a sedan with DCT?

steve40704 · 04-07-2008, 08:22 PM

I have seen a few posts of (confirmed?) successful orders placed for dct sedans. i'm supposed to get the first one at my dealership but they havent had an allocation for one yet and still cant place the order. wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

Shade · 04-07-2008, 08:29 PM

sedan with DCT is not out yet as far as i know. Only Coupe have a limited production for March and April production.

Zed · 04-07-2008, 08:59 PM

I'm on my dealer's "list", but I don't think my order is officially in the system yet (system wasn't yet accepting a dct sedan order, even though it's on the option list). They don't start producing the dct sedans until June I believe.

steve40704 · 04-07-2008, 10:18 PM

ok, same experience for me. there were some posts that led me to believe some members had dct sedan orders accepted.

skierman64 · 04-07-2008, 11:16 PM

DCT should be coupes only until March-May. Sedans and verts start in June.

BMoney · 04-08-2008, 05:01 AM

June for me!

same here...

only 1.5 more month to go for u guys

GT3 Tim · 04-08-2008, 10:01 AM

Status 037 on my E90 w/ DCT. Scheduled for production...ie: order accepted, pending some numbnuts to push a button so they can start making it! I have been told a few times from the dealer that they will not start production on E90's WITH DCT until June. That is per an internal BMW memo released in January, and re-released a couple weeks ago...

Have them try again...and look at June allocations. The system started accepting E90 w/ DCT order a couple weeks ago...before that, it was locked out for quite a while.

rmmcdaniel · 04-08-2008, 01:34 PM

I'm the same as GT3 Time, order accepted with status 037. Put my order into the system on 3/15 and got a copy of the vehicle inquiry report printout.

consolidated · 04-08-2008, 06:00 PM

I talked to my CA again today, 037 means that there is no allocation yet so it's just a placeholder until it's assigned one.
Their May allocation was for 7 coupes, 3 sedans (all 6MT) and 8 verts. I'll get a June production when they receive those allocations in the last week of this month, April.
He mentioned that BMW wanted to put the vert out in time for Summer, but he's not sure how they're going to sell that many verts when they don't even have a waiting list for them.

Thanks for that info

My dealer told me the same as some others here... I'm getting their first M3 Sedan with DCT, no allocation yet. I asked about status 037, but I have no order status as of yet. Looks like I'll be bugging him again at the end of April...

BMW3R · 04-09-2008, 05:56 PM

I have the same with 037 and build week 23.

Huh, they gave you a build week? Cool.

So, fill me in, what "week" is week 23? eg: week of June 2nd?

BMoney · 04-10-2008, 11:29 AM

I believe it's the first week of June....My dealer is telling me week 23 too.

consolidated · 04-10-2008, 11:46 AM

Here's a code description from the sticky above. My CA says that some salespeople will just say week XX even though the car is code 37, knowing that it's the first week of that months production even though a production week hasn't truly been assigned yet, code 87. He been very forthcoming with info so I don't have any reason to doubt him.
He stated that BMWNA still stands with DKG sedans starting production for NA in June.

Code Description
0 Order deleted by NA
17 Order not Specified
37 Order is at BMW NA
87 Production Week Assigned
97 Order sent to AG
100 Order deleted by AG
101 Error in data transmitted
102 Special Order (no Prod Week)
105 Order out of Prod. Period
111 Order Accepted at AG
112 Order scheduled for Production
150 Production Started

GT3 Tim · 04-10-2008, 12:28 PM

Thanks for the info consolidated! Always good to know....

ronnie dobbs · 04-10-2008, 02:28 PM

Great info. Funny because I have also been told week 23 (June 2) build for my sedan with DKG, but as far as I know, I am still status 037. I read that sticky and thought to myself, shouldn't I be 087 if I truly have a build week. I am giving my CA a little more time before I press him on it. If I bug him any more, he may end up giving my car to someone else.
