I just called, the automated system said its scheduled for production with no date scheduled for production... ok... Hopefully I get a production date soon. I figure if it can get scheduled for production in the next week or two I might get it by the end of February.

Typically when it says scheduled with no prod date yet. It'll go into production very quickly. You should check back in a couple of days and it may say "in body shop".

So I just called them, they still don't have an exact date when its supposed to go into production. She said "its estimated for the 4th week in January"

SOOOoooo, I wrote my somewhat local BMW dealer a check on 12/29/2007. I have been sceduled for a PCD date of 2/21/2008. Just under two months and I'll be zipping home with my montego blue masterpiece. Don't know how this will really help anyone, but for me its just under two months.

Sorry a PCD date? Is that the delivery date? I really hope that's true for you and that they didn't forget about my car in the process so I get mine a little before that since I ordered on the 21st. No offense as I am sure you will agree but I would be pretty upset if someone who ordered a week after me got theirs before me.

Could someone explain what the following dates mean?
I rec'd a printout from my CA today of Vehicle Inquiry: Status. Status and description reads...112 - Scheduled for daily production pack. Date 12/17 (that's a couple days after I placed the order) In the right hand column that lists production dates, it reads: Conf. Prod.: 2008/01/03 (Yr/Mo/Wk) So is my car not going into production until then? A month after I ordered it? And then what...another month after it enters production until I receive it in Boston? Thanks! -TJW |

A lost of these posts sound like allotment issues. Be sure to get a straight answer from your dealer about which allotment date your car has. My car was scheduled for production less than a week after I placed the order because my salesman (the manager) was able to get it on their next allotment.

+1. Allotment is key. FYI... it's at LEAST a month after entering production that you'll see your car in Boston. Six weeks is more like it (depending on how quickly your car gets on a ship and makes it through VPC).

I might have forgot to say its Feb. 21st. I didn't get many options. I'm all for first come first serve, but I don't make the rules. I highly doubt your car was forgotten about. Ze Germans are quite meticulous. I more than likely happened to have an order very similar to something that was already in the system, and my name got stuck to it. As for PCD, many have said that its better than Euro, and they did both. I'm really excited and hope that no one else suffers for my penny pinching. |

I just got off the phone with BMWUSA. My car started production TODAY!!! Will be done later this week and on its way. Hopefully in Spartanburg before 2/21! Anyway, the guy said that their holiday is more like four weeks instead of two and that should be the reason sooo many orders seemed to be delayed so long.
