Theroyalwe, would you happen to know how long it takes to get a "confirmed production date" from before it actually goes into production?
Diesel... i'm glad to hear that things worked out for you. ![]()

If it makes you feel any better, I also had to go to the SM to get my prod#. Maybe they don't trust some CA's with that sensitive information.

the honest answer is that it can vary... I've see something go 'scheduled for production' and sit there for a week and a half. I've also seen a car go from 'on order' right to paint shop within a day. it's a pretty cool process to watch, but there are so many variables involved... I guess some options don't require separate assembly so they just show up at the factory and are ready to go... which means the car doesn't take any more time. others have to be built for the car as a sub-assembly first and then when they are ready the car can go down the line.

![]() I wish my CA was like royalwe. My CA is a very nice guy but doesn't seem to know how to return my calls or emails. Oh well, at least my car is completed and got my PCD date.

Holy crap it's great to have you in here!!! I have a question for you: My CA originally told me that he could have have my car in 4 weeks; that he was able to pull a car that was already scheduled for production and add the options I wanted b/c they are the biggest bmw dealership in St. Louis and have the most allocations. Not sure about the whole process, but I trusted him and bought the car. He told me I had a couple days to add any additional options and 2 days after the original order I saw the 6fl ipod/usb option pop up on the website. So I added this to my order three days after the original purchase. 2 weeks pass, and I ask the CA if it still gonna be here in 2 weeks. He told me that the status went from 150 to 112 since I added the 6FL and that the confirm production is now 4/15. Currently the OC says scheduled for production. Do you have any insight into my situation? Did my CA totally bullshit me? When do you think I'll get my Bimmer? Thanks so much and glad to have you in here.

At this point I don't think he has anything at all, so the dealer isn't losing out by returning his money. If he actually had a production number and they had modified an existing allocated car then I could see the argument for a partial refund. At this point the dealer has done nothing for him.

possibly... you can always try. since you have a production # you could PM it to me and I'll see if I can find it somehow. I just don't think I can.
