Be careful with that! My initial order was for a SO M3, I changed it to YMB and my order slipped from week 23 to 45! not sure if it was the color change or other factors that made it slip but make sure you double/triple check that your production date isnt going to slip once you make the change......My dealer was able to get me sorted in the end but my original order is still a week 45 production.

indeed and changing colour or transmission type is one of the items that can have a big impact on order date.

Just got a call from my dealer and my M3 has gone into build a week earlier than planned so looks like a delivery date of the 23rd June!

17 days is coming very fast 3 sleeps for insomniacs!
Have you all asked the dealers to leave the sticky tax disc holders off the windscreen, only needed till 1st Sep is it and probably a PITA to remove all the sticky.

Two updates in a day. My SO M3 is now "5280 Pre Assembly Storage Start" :happy anim:
Guys, you should ask your dealer to email a screenshot of the factory order status on the BMW Germany manufacting system. My salesguy is good, he checks all his car orders daily.

My dealer is following up on the pdf manual. I'll rate them highly as the sales guy has been very helpful throughout the process.

I read somewhere that the production line runs 24 hours a day and takes 40 hours for a car to complete it. I assume that 40 hours is total time on the line and doesn't include transfer + hold time between the stages i.e for any late JIT parts to arrive etc...

40 hours seems quick, but I guess with all the assemblies (engine/gearbox/dif/computers etc) being built in advance, that isn't unreasonable. I'm expecting an update any moment now......exciting times. Where shall we post our pics, here or the general thread?

Exciting times indeed! - I think we should have a new "UK F8X Delivery Pic's" thread under the UK forum.
