Understanding production process ! - Page 3

Mine is "Scheduled for production with no confirmed production date." My CA says it's slated for a week 4 production. Is that next week or the following week? It's unclear given that New Year's was on a Friday.

On our 335xi, I recall it went from this state into "In production." Will it ever say, "Scheduled for production on <xxx>"?

Thanks,
BoB

Pretty ironic. My X5d is also in the paint shop....with a scheduled completion of Jan. 12th. Looks like we are "family"

You have to register on the BMW web site in the owners circle section...

The web site isn't as up to date as the information over the phone...

My CA called today to tell me my vehicle started production at 11:00am. He said the process takes 3 days and then my X5 will be loaded on to a train. The train takes 22-24 days to travel across the country to Oxnard, CA. Here my car will be loaded onto a truck and brought the rest of the way to where I live, Seattle. He said I should have the car around February 8th.

Funny thing is, the BMW site still says my car is "On Order." Not very accurate.

Status did move to Schedule for Production today. Looks like the site is about a day behind.
