How long from production #/order received to date for production?

Just curious what others had for an experience. How long from production #/order received to date for production? My dealer keeps saying I'll have a car by late November/early December, but I still don't have a production date, just a number. Seems early December is very unlikely at this point. Thoughts?

All I can say is I placed the order in August (24th). The allocation all along was for a week 42 build. It was built in week 42 (October 15th to be exact) and is still waiting at the factory for transport to the departure port. Have you made an account at "My BMW" and entered your production #? I did as soon as I got it and it seemed to take for ever to update and reflect changes. It sat at "Your car has entered the production queue" for over two weeks then it started moving.

I have the account and I put in the production number about two weeks ago, and today it still says "Order Received". I was hoping to have an idea of what week it would be produced. It doesn't really matter, but I'm impatient (and the dealer told me weeks earlier I had a production number, and then it wasn't true, and now I really have one).

Your dealers status sheet should show on the right side the targeted production week. Here was my timeline:
Ordered against a week 42 M240i xDrive allocation on August 24
Got the production number on September 20 logged on to My BMW
Showed "order received" status until end of Sept then went to "Scheduled for Production" Received VIN. Entered the Production Queue on 10/2 then jumped three slots to "Assembly in Progress" on 10/15. Then jumped two slots to "Ready for Transport" on 10/16. Now it is stuck on "Awaiting Carrier Assignment".

Update 10/22: It has been dispatched from the factory now I have to wait for a ship.

Congrats on the car moving along. Mine just moved to scheduled for production. The dealer wouldn't/didn't get more specific than being built in November. The screen shot the sent me from their system only shows November. Regardless, still moving along....

I am in the same situation. Was scheduled for production on the 44th week. My status went into "being assembly " to "final inspection" within one day last week(week 43). Now it is in "awaiting carrier assignment" since last week. My status also has "a Carrier has been assigned to take care of your BMW". I guess I am waiting for the car to be transported to the carrier?

Mine sat at "awaiting carrier assignment" for a week then it was "dispatched from the factory" for 4 days now it is "at the port". Pretty soon I'll be drivin' that thing. Been watching the parking lot web cam at the port gradually filling up with cars. Mine is one of them.

What does it mean :" dispatched from the factory"? Did you get the name of the ship yet?

You probably will get the car faster I am on the West coast.

The BMW Genius number used to be able to provide fairly up to date info and the ship assignment. There are obsessive ways to follow the ship once it launches.

No ship name yet. My original SA was promoted to work in finance so I have a new SA (he's only been on board 30 days) and he called me today to say the car was at the port. He though it meant in the US port, so I told him he would get a ship name before it got here. He is trying hard but not the wealth of experience yet of my old SA.

Dispatched from the factory means just that it has left the factory in Leipzig and is headed for the port at Bremerhaven.

I'm reminded of when we did European Delivery on a Volvo V70R in 2006, dropping it off in Gothenburg for port entry at Newark after a couple of months touring Europe.

After drop-off, I assumed everything would proceed smoothly from there. That didn't happen; thankfully, it wasn't an issue for us.

I discovered the lack of smoothness six weeks after the V70R arrived in Newark, when our North Carolina salesman (we lived in New Hampshire at the time) called to ask me how much I was enjoying my new Volvo wagon in Northern New England.

After asking him what he was talking about, he hung up and got the car out of the lot in Newark and on its way to our local dealer. It was only funny because we didn't need the car, and, AFAIK, at the time had no way of tracking its progress. Maybe that was a good thing, I don't know.
