I asked my dealer today when he thought the car would enter production and he told me first week of May. Does this sound right?

Sounds like a long time to me.
Mine entered production 3 days after I ordered it.

Hard to tell what should be the average time a car is ordered and a car enters production. But doesn't sound too far off. Orders aren't scheduled by first come first serve, dealers are allotted a certain amount of production slots, though dealers can work together to trade for earlier production slots, but the orders that are placed by a dealer are for those production slots they have been given. That could have been the earliest available production slot that your dealer had when they placed the order on 4/7. Your dealer has the most up to date information, so if he says first week of may, that is likely when it goes into production. It can enter production stage slightly early, though it may not get built until that week.

Btw, it does add to the stress if you check it a lot especially this early on, because it is like the saying "a watched pot never boils". I know because I've been tracking my car almost nonstop since January when I placed my order, but my order process is different since I did European Delivery. Picked the car up in march, dropped it off, and now it's finally on a ship and should be here in CA in another 2 weeks or so.. Definitely tracking it too much, and adds to the stress/anxiety!

Since you ordered your car to be delivered here, much faster delivery process and since you are in east coast, and close to one of the east coast ports, you'll get it much faster than I can since I'm on the west coast! Best to check it once a day until it hits production stage and then is when it's more interesting to track it more often. At this stage your order is just a waiting game until it hits the production week.

I hope it goes into production real soon, because I am currently without a car. My CA did tell me 6-8 weeks, so I guess we will see, but if it doesnt go into production untill the first week of may then Im looking at 8weeks total, which sucks.

Where about in NJ do you live? In in the Hackensack area...

Delete the car and add it again. It will show up with the updated status.

I ordered my 335is on 3/30/2011 and it just finished production on 4/14.

[HaZe_X]

Just deleted the car and added it again and Im still at the same status, I have the same status on the phone also.

[HaZe_X]

Man, My dealer just confirmed my car has a TPW of week 19 (first week of May)...Man that kinda sucks, I was hoping it would of started production this week since the order slot was placed on April 7th, and I placed my order April 12th.

What makes it even harder is that I have NO CAR to drive right now...

Also I changed my car from Alpine White to Le Mans Blue, and to a black interior...I feel in LOVE with the blue..

I see some of you guys got 6MT too. The BMW short-throw M shifter is an absolute blast to use.

Yes it does. I didn't track mine at all for that very reason.

Anyways, better post some pics when they arrive!!

I was hoping my car made the "Porgy" that left Bremerhaven yesterday but I don't think so. Next ship to NYC is the "Fidelio" leaving next Wednesday the 27th I should make it no problem. I guess I can't complain...should definitely be driving her by Memorial Day!

[eaglesfan83]

great deal! Whats your mileage per year?

[HaZe_X]

Woohoo..My car finally started production today!!!!



The 1800# says the completion date is May4th, I thought it only takes 3-4 takes to build the car...yayyy

What! no M3 LOL Congratulations!

Congrats on your purchase. Mine is on the 3rd day of being built. Waited nearly 4 weeks for them to start it. This was very painful waiting as I sold my E90 over a month ago.

You know these dealers are smart now on these leases. They do a 27 month lease so you will pay the new registration and then give the car back 3 months later.

You will love your new ride when it arrives. You may lose some sleep for the next few weeks until you start to see some movement.

[CJ421]

I was offered a 27 month lease at the very last minute, literally as I had the pen over the dotted line on the lease paper. Turned it down, it would have ended up being more per month taking into account my down payment.

Congrats! I just ordered my car as well. Ordered it on wednesday the 20th and went into production the next morning. I work for BMW so i can see the exact status of mine anytime and it makes it even worse lol.. Sounds like i got the same car as Haze lol
