Woohoo!! Week 22 build pushed up 2 weeks for 335i Coupe!

david2006 · 05-07-2007, 11:28 AM

So just checked DCSNet and the car started production at 6:49:01 AM today!! two weeks before the 5/20 est. production date! no more status 112 for me!!
anyone know how many days it takes for the entire production process? (body shop through quality check??)

SGP335i · 05-07-2007, 11:30 AM

A week or so

ehsmadhatter · 05-07-2007, 12:10 PM

What was your order date????

david2006 · 05-07-2007, 12:14 PM

I ordered on 4/7 (production # 3598###). CA was telling me she was giving me a 4/17 production but turns out it was a couple of weeks off, don't really care cause I can't take delivery before mid-july anyways;

The program the dealer uses to check vehicle status, if i'm not mistaken

david2006 · 05-07-2007, 12:31 PM

yup, it's part of dealerspeed which is the BMWNA's internal dealer system; got lucky my CA gave me a login! (pretty sure he wasn't supposed to cause there's a lot of "internal" memo's on this thing!!)

I'd say your probably right... God bless your CA:rocks:

Weaselboy · 05-08-2007, 09:12 AM

Just curious... did you order your car with the iPod 6FL option? I did and got pushed back from week 18 to week 20 supposedly because they are "batching" a bunch of cars week 20 with that option.

david2006 · 05-08-2007, 09:42 AM

yup, ordered 6FL, doesn't seem to be affecting the timing, not sure though

scottp999 · 05-08-2007, 09:51 AM

I was bumped from week 18 to week 16 and I had 6fl. 6fl shouldn't hold anyone up.

Congrats on the early production! The wait gets worse, the obsession gets worse.

Waiting for a ship, then daily updates on the ship position, your car is offloaded and you don't know what's going on with it (That's where I am at).

Found out today from 800# I started production yesterday, so I guess 6FL does not matter.

david2006 · 05-08-2007, 05:20 PM

haha i know, they should put GPS units on all the cars so you can track the exact location when it gets off the ship!!

gerbs · 05-08-2007, 05:21 PM

hrmm.. i have a "confirmed week 23 production date reserved" according to BMW NA, so uhh... hrmm... wonder if mine will go into production next week. that would be ridiculous!

david2006 · 05-09-2007, 11:08 AM

Today's headline: "Entry body shop/serial # assgn.", i'm loving this, everyday I wake up there's something new to look forward to!!!

seems like everyones been speedin up and bumpin up weeks..i was originally week 19 production and went in week 18..now its week 19 and im at the port already waiting for a boat

milehigh5000 · 05-09-2007, 12:18 PM

production week is definitely one of the more enjoyable weeks in the whole process until the actual week of delivery

i enjoyed it..now i gotta wait 1 1/2-2 weeks for my car to cross the huge atlantic ocean haha

Bimmerforlife · 05-09-2007, 06:58 PM

Milehigh5000, Wow looking at your signature, it sure doesn't take very long for the car to be built once it goes into production, just about 1 week maybe less not counting weekend days. I guess the biggest wait is waiting for production to actually start, uh?

Yeah this is the "blackout" wait, when you don't really have any concrete estimates of any sort, and technically you could get bumped back weeks, or bumped up weeks, etc. blah blah... it's the uncertainty that bewilders us

Once it starts production, you pretty much know when your car is going to arrive. and every day something new comes along, whether the car just enters the paint shop, or the boat reports a new location, etc.

so yeah.. tough it out, it'll be over soon!
