how long to get prod number

hey everyone, I just ordered my 335i coupe on march 3rd from the dealer. it got put into the system about a week later according to my salesman. I have been calling him since then to get my production number but all he has been telling me is that he will call me back and he never does. I am starting to get very frustrated with the way he has been treating me. I just wanted to ask everyone how long it took to get the production number from your dealer? thanks

Then he should be able to give you the production number. Ask him for it.

I had my production number about 1 hour after I placed the order. Tell your CA to get off his fat ass.

I got mine 2 days after I placed order. I think it's available soon after you place your order...as long as your dealer actually places the order.

I will be a couple weeks shy of 4 months getting my car is everything works PERFECT. 6 weeks for production number, then things went faster.

Angry Still waiting

I ordered mine on Feb. 17th. I got a call from my CA today to confirm that I will be set up for PCD......however when I asked about my prd # he said that he was waiting for a chasis. He said I was the first in line and there were 4 people behind me at the dealership. I have no idea what that means, but I do know I don't have a number yet. This engine shortage thing is starting to worry me!

If you don't know what that means, why didn't you ask him?

thanks guys.. when i went in to order the car.. he told me ill have it by the end of april first week of may.. but from looking on this forum i was a little confused on how he would be able to get it to me so quick.. i was expecting him to tell me somewhere along the lines of end of may... thats why i don't trust this guy too much now

ill let it go until friday, then i think i'll go in to see him.. cuz i also want to tell him to take off the integrated ipod and add the factory installed option instead... so by then it should be 3 weeks and he should have a number, and if he doesn't, hopefully he'll be honest with me about an arrival date

Take notice of your post count.....I was once at 2 also. What your CA is telling you is that he doesn't have any 335i in allocation and when he does get one, it should be yours. Allocations usually come out the middle of the month for the following month which means don't expect to get a production number until mid-April for a May build. If you see your car by June, consider yourself lucky.
There is plenty of info on this forum to help you out. Good luck to you.

Got my prod number before I left the dealership. They do a high volume, so I assume he just moded an existing allocation to my specs. Still told me to expect 12 weeks.
