It goes to Assembly after that and there is your X, born.

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

Funf, or perhaps anyone else who knows, please tell me the "online" address/link to monitor production status? I called today and mine is "in production" with anticipated completion date 1/22. Would be easier to monitor online, instead of calling, if there is a quick and easy link for this purpose. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: another Q, my "Vehicle Inquiry Report" indicates "Priority 1 - Customer Sold" Anyone know what this means? I have seen some posts mentioning "Retail Sold" and I have no idea what other categories there may be. Thanks again.

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...

RedRockin,

sign in at "My account" on bmwusa.com with personal info and production number, Good luck, ///Mike

Priority 1 = Customer Ordered (vs those that are produced for the dealer to sell off the lot). The car is for a specific buyer as a “sold” car.

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

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.

And if you don't want to talk to the operator (she never understands what I'm saying):

It must be a NY/NJ thing. I had no luck but my blue tooth doesn't understand me either.

My status is 'released to carrier, waiting for transportation to port of exit'. What port of exit ? Are they shipping it to Germany ?
