Hey, you have me listed on the sheet. That's me at the top. It took me about two weeks to get my production number from BMW of Columbia.

you can see the other 2 that are being built are 2014/4 so April and 2015/5 May.... so if they are only getting 1 allocation/ month you might get the June one |

this is exactly where I'm at too. I had mentioned earlier that my confirmed allocation was the week of May 4, but BMW provided me with a "born on" date of 4/16. I have been trying not to get excited in thinking it's actually getting built earlier because the expected production completion is still listed as May 12...
no further updates since then but in short, stuck at 150 and not really convinced it's being built but rather it's in production purgatory?!?! |

If they had an allocation, they would have a production number... Did you explicitly ask what allocation date did they have ? Sadly dealers some times suggest things so they can sell the car... |

I had a production week 19, so the first week of May. On 4/15 the car flipped to in production and I got a VIN but ever since then it has not moved. When I call they tell me the "estimated" completion date is May 9th. |

production should only take about a week... maybe they ran out of some part and they can only build it till a certain stage till the parts arrive....production shouldn't take 3 weeks... might be sitting 2 weeks after production but not the process itself

I'd expect to see something other than just 150 at this point then, right? that's what's confusing for me.

I have been "in production" with an estimated completion date of 5/6/14 for two weeks. I think the system may have changed, because all of the info on this and other forums is that production should take a matter of days once you hit "in production."

What sucks is that if the car finishes on May 9-11 (there is a ship that actually leaves on the 9th), there is only one ship leaving soon thereafter (on May 16th).. if we miss that, we are stuck in Germany until May 29th.
