I ordered my 335i coupe around Dec 6, 2006 and as of January 10th there is still is no production date. How long does this process take?:mad:

[Jay_328]

a couple days usually ........ your CA has been canned or he's dead.

[teknochild]

no, he might meen he ordered it but didnt get a production number

or maybe he has a production number and is waiting for it to go to 111 to 112, but i have hear people wait a long time for that change, and then wait a really long time on 112 w/o a date aswell :/

Ordered 335i in Maryland on Dec 1st :rocks: ,

driving on Jan 8th .

Got Prod Order number within 2 days, car built by day 9, rest of time traveling from Germany, to England, and arriving in NJ.

I guess I'm incredibly impatient because I was emailing the CA the day after I placed the order.

BUT, the CA was able to take one of their cars already in the pipeline and make it mine. Your dealer may not have had (or already sold all the) cars in his pipeline.

that is true, demand is greater than production im guessing, hence the line, or maybe control......

Holy sh$t that's a quick turnaround!

[beemah]

yes, sedan is 6 weeks i think, coupes are harder to get

I ordered my E92 on December 7, and like the OP, I still have no production date. I assume it has to do with the shutdown around the holidays, as well as the high demand.

I'm certainly jealous of dhimilosr, who ordered 6 days earlier and already has his car!

[BzzzBom]

I have my production number just no production date

[wj4]

Got production number the same night as the order was put in. It's been 2 and a half week since the dealership put my order in, and the car is already built, waiting for a ship to come to Cali.

If you purchased a 335 Coupe expect I'll be waiting with you, Latest info I got was I should have a production number in 2-3 weeks when my dealer gets more allocations.

[razorduc]

I ordered at end of Nov and didn't get a production date until a week or so ago. That's what sux about So Cal. Takes forever. At least it takes only a week or so after it is scheduled for production. Now just the 8 week wait to get to Cali......

[teknochild]

i dont understand how everyones waiting months after they get production numbers AFAIK the dealer only gets production numbers at most a month ahead of when they go into production, the dealer here said they would get more production numbers in febuary for april delivery and the dealer i bought from had a production number available right away for delievery in march

teknochild, thats not entirely true, production number is like build slot numbers. Having one in the system doesn't mean the car is ready to be built. It can be months before the slot is picked from the pool for production for certain models.

then explain to me why some dealers dont even have production numbers but are able to deliever a car in 3 months, i understand having a number doesnt meen theres a date, but i would think that if a dealer had a production number from novemeber that that car is going to be built a lot sooner than the production number the dealer just recieved in january

i meen these are production numbers the name would suggest that they are... well.. production numbers...

[beemah]

it comes down to allocation of cars accross dealerships and their priority lists and timing of orders.....and the timing to get it on ships and vessels that are headed in some way and getting those schedules right.....

i ordered on nov 29th, got a production # around jan 2nd and a VIN # about a week ago. its scheduled to be out of production on jan 19th. this is from colorado.

this is what i meen, the dealer he ordered from obviously had a long long waiting list and production numbers were going to the people farther up the list, then when it was his turn he got his number and his car was started a little bit there after

i dont understand how people are getting production numbers months and months ago and there car still hasnt been sched. maybe the people w/ "production numbers" from 3 months ago meen there just on the list for a number

[CoralRedPlz]

tek-

where in FL do you live?

i went to fsu and am moving back to southwest FL (ft myers area) in a couple months.

[teknochild]

i live in orlando now, i moved from ft myers to go to UCF lol

dont you hate florida and all the straight flat roads?




anyone want to post their production numbers, i actually kind of want to compare the numbers, especially those who have been waiting on a date for months, im still thinking maybe some dealers get numbers way in advance

[CoralRedPlz]

yeah the roads there are terrible

my production # is 35 29 169.

[blingbling]

I orderd on jan 3 and still no production #..... and this is 328xi!!
CA said they have to wait on allocation for another week or so.
