LDT wroteYeah... we'll see when that happens. My garage hasn't even updated with the new status that my advisor gave me. Wish it was more accurate/up to date.MadHouseMama See post #7 in this thread. You'll get a VIN at status 150 which is about 2 wks out from actual production

EscapeYourMind wroteThat sounds about right. I'm surprised you're not status 111 though. Seems like they lump together individual paint orders so things could still change again. Are you tracking in My Garage and using the F12/Bimmertrack?Damn that doesn't bode well for me. Have an individual order placed on Sept 30 still sitting on status code 102 Order Received. No build week yet. Back in December I called the genius line and they said week 3, but can't see how that will be possible.
StealthCruiser212325 wroteThis Gentian really needs to be seen in person to appreciate how vibrant it is. Even pics don't capture how great this color is.

I emailed BMW Genius earlier today, and they told me that production of car is estimated to begin Week 2 of 2026 (Jan 5- Jan 11), which is of course subject to change. It looks it will be a nice way to ring in the New Year!!!
2025G0540i wroteYeah using My Garage and Bimmertrack. Very surprising I'm not 112 or 111 at this point. If I was really week 3 I should be 150 by now based on what others here have said.That sounds about right. I'm surprised you're not status 111 though.

2025G0540i wroteI have an individual (Gentian X40i) on order. Order was placed on 10/27/25. Still sitting at status 111 with an estimated week 10 build slot.Any active individual orders still waiting? Mine just moved from week 4 to week 6 (first week of Feb). Looking at approx 5 months now from the date of ordering.
seanyo wroteYou're going to have one of the later productions of the last of the G05. I think if you keep it a long time that helps the resell value some. Great color!I have an individual (Gentian X40i) on order. Order was placed on 10/27/25. Still sitting at status 111 with an estimated week 10 build slot.
EscapeYourMind wroteThat is odd... most all of the ones I've done have gone from 102 to 111 within two weeks.... I think you may want to have someone at your dealer follow up, that is not normal.Damn that doesn't bode well for me.

MadHouseMama wroteWhat's your production date?I got a VIN!! Production Begins
2025G0540i wroteNot sure. I never do the F12 process when I'm home... and I can't do it at work. I'll try to check it today if I remember. I'm going to guess assembly starts sometime next week.What's your production date?
MadHouseMama wroteHere you go, it is the 23rd.Not sure. I never do the F12 process when I'm home... and I can't do it at work. I'll try to check it today if I remember. I'm going to guess assembly starts sometime next week.

seanyo wroteAnyone else have their estimated production week pushed back significantly?

seanyo wroteI was week 4 and pushed to week 6. Seems like individual builds have this happen a lot but I've never seen one pushed back 7 weeks. Guessing it will change again probably sooner. I wonder if there's parts they're waiting on.Anyone else have their estimated production week pushed back significantly?

2025G0540i wroteI would not think it's parts. The parts are the same for all builds. It's the Gentian color most likely. Yet pushing from wk 10 to 17 is a bit much it seems.I was week 4 and pushed to week 6. Seems like individual builds have this happen a lot but I've never seen one pushed back 7 weeks.

seanyo wroteThis happened to me — initially week 37 but actually built week 47. Ordered on July 30 and took delivery on December 12 - individual color (Orinoco Pearl Metallic w/Silverstone). A solid 5.5 months from order to delivery. It is 100% worth the wait!!Anyone else have their estimated production week pushed back significantly?

LDT wroteI feel like they just wait to group as many of the same special order colors at once for scale and that determines how long it may take or be pushed back. I'm sure they have some threshold number they need to meet in the number of vehicles for that specific paint choice?I would not think it's parts. The parts are the same for all builds.

JAR987 wrote4 1/2 months seems to be about the norm which it looks like yours might've been. I've seen 6 months but it also depends where you live. The West coast can add 2 weeks. Mine is at 4 months now and will be 4 1/2 to 5 months unless the dates get pushed back again.This happened to me — initially week 37 but actually built week 47.

Neo1010 wroteLogically speaking that's most likely what they do. Only makes sense. What would be even more efficient is if they could run a bunch of them with the same color but I doubt there's too many Melbourne red or Orinoco Pearls being painted at the same time but I could be wrong.I feel like they just wait to group as many of the same special order colors at once for scale and that determines how long it may take or be pushed back.
