Ok, so it's only removing the physical key card and not the tech behind it?

Week 29 for me.

Randomly checked my app today and surprisingly it said “production begins”. I will take that as a good sign.

Wishing everybody else a nice quick bump also

from the BMW notes about the idrive8 technology, it seems so yes.

And now I have a Vin number and have moved to production begins. The shitty part is I wanted to change the interior but we weren't fast enough. Stuck with black now. No big deal

Sounds like I will need a new allocation and production number which sucks… basically back to step 0 after 3 months of waiting

I placed my order on April 21 and remained at “order received “ until yesterday. I called my CA this morning and changed my build to RWD and added another option. I kept the same production number hoping that might move me to the front of the line

Yeah I ordered my car on 4/20 and they just rolled with the same production number. Found out I was status 112 today. I reached back out to my guy to see if I could add active cruise and one other thing. Do you guys know if I can make a change in 112?

[LivingInSalt]

Yes, you can

[hamenfirstblood]

Finally!

Looks like the Thunder night color may become a supple issue when it looks like everyone is ordering it ! Haa

For those with production scheduled or productions begins. Does the wide-screen option show up under the options list ?

No. Nor in the standard features section.

But I am certain it will be in it.

I was kind of wondering about that as well. I'm also wondering bout these production dates. the factory was supposed to shut down until the 22nd to retool for the new model, but a lot of us have entered production and our cars are scheduled to be built on the 11th. maybe they have left over idrive7's and the first few 2023 models will be built like 2022s? totally wishful thinking heheheh

[DriftKing860]

I have a week 29 build and mine also does not say wide-screen.

How long were you waiting?

[TJZ67201]

Man it sounds like week 29 is gonna be a busy week at the factory!

Congrats to everyone. Maybe we'll all be on the same boat in about a months time 🚢

Not long - the order was placed for a 2023 on 6/11.

[eddj]

is there anyone else which re-specced with the dealership his 2022 order into a new 2023 one around week 20-24th June and still waiting for production week (status 112) to be allocated?

[Summeristooshort]

Order placed on 03/30/22, first production date was WK18, now WK30 as MY23. At least I'm moving again! And I'm fine with the new screen, shifter and darker aluminum interior trim. Glad I was able to add ACC!

What is everyone with late July builds expecting for delivery at your Dealer? September / October?

for USA depending on production week (which means the date when you car completed production stage) confirmation, between build and logistics, you are looking at around an approximate 4-5 weeks turn around (sometimes I believe I saw deliveries as fast as 3 weeks ? ) , so for example if you get a production week of 30 (July– 25 – 31) you should receive the car around the end of August or first week of September.

That seems pretty optimistic but idk. I'm wk28 and I thought it would be pretty optimistic to get my car by the end of August
