"Scheduled for Production": 2/27

For the dealer to have had allocations, this seems like a long time.
BluAmazon Allocations have a production week attached to them.....first in....first out (individual builds excepted). Your schedule is completely spot on.
TurtleBoy wroteFirst build. First BMW. From the way the GM spoke, I should have had the car by the end of this month. That was my only gauge.Why would you think that? Looks like normal timing.
BluAmazon wroteGotcha. It all depends on what production date is assigned to the allocation. It just so happened in your case it was the end of the month. If it was a week or so earlier you would have it this month (assuming you aren't on the West Coast).First build. First BMW.

TurtleBoy wroteThanks for explaining. Makes sense. They had three allocations, if I remember correctly. Maybe mine was the last one. Who knows. I could have walked to the plant faster than this delivery (in NC). LOLGotcha. It all depends on what production date is assigned to the allocation.

Tlon wroteFinished but both in most cases since assembly takes about four hours.Just curious about the production date (in my case, March 26). Is that when production commences or when it's scheduled to be finished?
TurtleBoy wroteReally? That's fascinating. Thank you!Finished but both in most cases since assembly takes about four hours.
Tlon wroteThey go pretty quickly. Here is a video that shows some of the assembly.Really? That's fascinating. Thank you!
Tlon wroteSpartanburg uses a different process than the other factories. Rather than building and painting a body specific to a vin they batch them and have them available on racks. When one is needed it is pulled and a vin attached to it. That is why the body and paint processes are not shown on the tracker. It will go directly from 150 to 153.Awesome. I have to admit, that robot chair at 00:54 is pretty cool.
So, paint (and other things) must happen prior to production day, then?
Lou727 wroteFactory tours are not happening until summer 2026 but they still offer the museum tour and driving experience.I hope I get a chance to tour the plant when I take delivery. Last time I did PCD, they weren’t doing tours. Anyone else doing PCD?
