"The wheels are in motion"
Received my first order update email from my BMW dealer today.
"The wheels are in motion" - it said "Your BMW has reached production" Status: "BUILD" My car has a chassis number allocated. Getting mildly excited about the whole process. Slàinte Mhath Mark H

Thanks for that. Remember photos of pickup. Mine is reported as "week 23 delivery". Has been since order was placed. That timing is consistent with your timeline as well. Already booked in for a new car detail and possibly front end PPF on 18 Jun... Yours Aye Mark H

No automatic email from BMW direct, so I may also miss out in the next 4 steps in that timeline? Which would be a shame. Mark H

Funnily enough, once I collected my car ALL of the emails in the process came through at once. Car in Paint, Car out for Delivery, Car Delivered, etc.

Update:
Last Tue I received a local email from dealer informing me that the car had gone into paint process. Then, on Friday, another email to say that production was complete. Later that day I then received the next 2 BMW emails: Paint, quickly followed by Production Complete. I'll share the pictures later. For such a complex vehicle, it is surprising how quickly the build process takes from start to finish. Slàinte Mhath Mark H
