This is what I get every time I put in my #... SINCE DAY 1.

Did you ever get any new status on the phone message yet?

Do a check to see that your selected interior/paint color is correct. Call the dealer to make sure the build is EXACTLY how you ordered it.

BMW ran out of my color leather, and instead of stopping production, or actually letting me.. they just went on with production of another color. Its worth verifying everything is how you want it

At this point, what difference will it make if they didn't make it right? If my car isn't correct then I'm basically not going to buy it. The website shows it's all correct, except missing the navigation. But the website is known to be incorrect anyway.

Yeah but you're going to sit there waiting 2 months until you actually find out. At least you'll have a 2 month head start in producing a new car if you find out anything is wrong.

Sorry, but I refuse to believe this, and I'm quite sure you have no "proof" this is what happened.

They wouldn't just pick a new color for you. Most likely the color was ordered wrong, or there was a computer glitch or something.

At the very least I would put money on the fact that BMW Corporate informed your dealer, and instead of informing you of the situation they just picked another color for you and blamed it on the factory. Betcha!

You have NO WAY to "assure" the car will arrive as ordered until its sitting at your dealer and you are staring at it.

This is what I've concluded after searching and calling BMW NA a few times. I reverified a few times with my CA the exact options. I think it's right.. it comes up exactly right with all the right options on the website, aside from not showing the navigation

If it's wrong I don't have much control over it

Its probably going to be what you ordered then, it just pays to verify
