Week 34-35-36 Production!

[NavyBeeker]

Just got estimated start of production Week 35 for me (8/29 - 9/2/2016)... via Genius.

Could be tight turnaround - CA submitting my ED requested dates (1st/2nd week of Sep) today...

Who else is in this timeframe?

[NavyBeeker]

Update as of 8/4: CA was out, called BMW ED toll-free #, they said my ED pickup date will be Mon 9/19. This is about 2 weeks later than I'd requested but the earliest they said they could do - pointed out they usually require 6 weeks lead time.

The rep also mentioned I am scheduled for week 34 production (not week 35 as a previous rep told me days before). I expect to hear confirmation from CA perhaps today with this same info.

[NavyBeeker]

As for planning the ED travel - the later date starts to conflict with a needed work trip but will still squeeze it in. Think we'll be visiting a friend near Frankfurt for a few days before the pickup date, then take a train to pick up the car -- but will have to drop it back off the next day.

On the good side: American Airlines offers non-stop flights from Dallas to Frankfurt for "okay" prices!

[ApexL8]

I booked American Airlines as well.

The flights seem to go up over the weekends.

I paid $1400 plus seating upgrades from CLE to MUC. Not bad!!

I just ordered an M4 with a week 35 build scheduled. Dealer delivery. When do you think I'll get it?

[NavyBeeker]

Guessing maybe late Sep at dealer, absent any unusual shipping or damage repair delays at VPC?

[NavyBeeker]

But wait, you are west coast? Perhaps early Oct....

[timmerk]

I just ordered a '17 M3 for West Coast dealer delivery. I was told August build and it should arrive in October.

On the top of my VIR, it says "Assigned to: W - 35".

Does that mean it's a week 35 production? Seems inline with what I was told.

I'm so excited to finally have an order placed and now I can join in on the fun.

Side note, has anyone with a week 35 production been able to add 6CP Apple CarPlay to their order?

[NavyBeeker]

Timmer - I have 6CP on my order, I'm in Week 34 I was told.

[Dr. Who]

Hey!

You need to get a full copy of your VIR from you CA.

There's a page with a little car symbol/image that shows your Production (code) status.

And, There's a page that shows the "On Order" date sequence of your build. Including,
the following:

__* "Quota:" - Which I presume means - Dealer Allocation month

__* "Req. Prod.:" - ___"____"_____"__ - Requested Production (date)

__* "Conf. Prod.:" - ___"____"_____"__- Confirmed Production (week)

The "Assigned to" code on top has nothing to do with this. I think that's your dealerships' code.


Cheers!

[NavyBeeker]

Concur - the "Assigned to" appears to be my dealership ID.
OBTW - just logged into mybmwusa and it now recognizes my Prod Number (first success after about a half-dozen tries over last week or so)... have added the M3 and can now track it's production progress!

Current status: Order Documented

I had a week 36 build last year and it got to my dealer in NH on September 29th. As you're on the west coast I would guess add another 2 weeks to that, mid October.

[timmerk]

I called Genius today and my build week is 38. Ugh.

On the plus side, I did get CarPlay added. So now I wait.

[Fake News 2017]

Looks like I'm week 34 according to Genius. Estimated completion date of August 18th if all goes well. USA east coast delivery.

The wait is on indeed.

I placed the order July 4th weekend for with individual color. I called yesterday and they told me eta/delivery is week 38. On BMWUSA it just shows car ordered under the tracking - so i have no insight to when the production is suppose to start / end.

Anyone has any idea on when production should be starting for week 38 delivery?

[NavyBeeker]

Are you doing Euro or U.S. delivery?

[tn002]

As mentioned in the week 33 thread, my M3 has been moving back and forth. Latest is week 34. Hope it doesn't move again. The irritating bit is that I need to ask the dealer for detailed status every time and tracking points as I can't do it myself on the local bmw site even though I have a production order number and VIN. They said the car has to be registered in my name first to get access.

[NavyBeeker]

That sucks.

It will change about 10 times before your car starts production, and BMW Genius will give you 10 different dates if you talk to 10 different people. Just a heads up of what to expect. If it's anything like my experience.

oh grand - thanks for setting my expectation right..

[Sandow]

Not trying to be a downer, just giving you a heads up. My car was ordered beginning of April. I haven't received it yet. 4 months and still waiting. Stuck at VPC now waiting for rear differential. I originally had a week 19 production date, and the car ended up being week 26.
