Build Status Change

For those of you that got very early build weeks- how many weeks before your build started was it before your status changed from ' scheduled for production' to ' confirmed for production'?

I've been wondering the exact same thing this week.

After months of waiting I've become so impatient that any sign of progress will be a godsend at this point.

Mine is one of the dealer launch cars and I'm not sure whether other cars will follow the same schedule... but here is approximately what I have experienced:

Originally I was told week 21 and then later it got changed to week 19
For the longest time when I called the BMW# it said, "scheduled for production with no confirmed production date"
On Apr 14th I tried to change the color of the car but was told that the order was locked down
On Apr 15th the status changed to "Confirmed for production" (I think that was the verbiage). I can't recall if it also contained the estimated completion date.
A few days later it went to "In production, estimated completion date Apr 30th". It took an entire day before the MyBMW site indicated "Production begins"
Late last week the estimated production date changed to May 2nd
Early this week (Monday Apr 28th perhaps?) it went to "In the body shop, estimated completion date May 2nd"
On Apr 29th or 30th it went to "In the paint shop, estimated completion date May 2nd"
This morning on May 1st it said "Production complete, released to carrier". On the evening of May 1st MyBMW still says "Production begins"

So basically, it took 2 weeks from the time that it exited status 111 until production was complete.
