5 weeks with no production # or confirmed date. Is this normal?

335 coupe...My delivery request is for 5 mos from now so I guess I don't expect a production date. But should I not have received a production # by now and at least got them to confirm the date I want? I know they are having a lot of orders go through right now, but some guys are reporting getting their productions #s 3 days after placing an order. Dealer says nothing yet. Should I just smoke a cuban and relax?

just relax- it's 5 months from now. If you're getting worked up now, I dont think you're gonna make it through the 6-8 weeks for redelivery. lol

It's not that simple, we have other obligations in Europe, and I'm trying to get plane tickets, hotels arranged in other countries as well. I can't really committ without a date. I thought being this far out, they should be at least able to tell me that the date I requested has been locked in for me. Once I know that, I don't care when they start production.

It's been 4 weeks for me as of today. Though from speaking to three different dealerships, apprently June allocation #'s are expected to be released within the next couple days.

The only way they can give you a date is if the dealer has received his allocation for the month you are requesting. Production #'s are not released until the month prior to the start of production.

I had my production for my 335 coupe(I am told week 18) three hours after my order, but was that for an existing order that was modified.

So if I'm getting this right, if I requested September delivery, they will not be able to confirm it until late July or August?

Well they should be able to confirm your pick-up date. However, you won't have a Production # until late July which is when they release Sept. allocations. I hope you're not waiting on an 08 because 08s for ED probably won't be available until late Sept. or early Oct. at the earliest.
