Our cars should go through the same process and timeline now so either my dealer is being cautious or yours is being optimistic!
Fear not, given that you are now status 5055 I think your dealer is just being cautious - "Under promise, over deliver"

My "Production Week" is still showing 25 however the "Expected/Possible Week" has come forward to 26! (i.e. week commencing 23rd of June).
However, given that the launch date is the 21st of June they must be anticipating either building the car prior to week 25 or a very fast delivery from factory to dealer as my "Pref Cust Handover date" is showing as the 30th of June with a "LAUNCH HOLD" flag!

I only have a hardcopy printout (at home) at the moment and have asked my dealer to email me a screen shot – Get you dealer to view the list of all the UK M4’s on order in the BMW Mainframe at status 5055 (It sorts by status) – I sat with my dealer a few weeks ago and got him to go into a few on the list (There were very few even in 1200 status at that point, the fast majority were 1100 with no scheduled production slot).
