I believe from where you are now until the car enters production they are staging all the components and then welding the frame, painting, etc. What production week do you have? That is the week your car will be completed. From completion to getting assigned to a carrier takes 1-2 days and then 3-5 days for delivery to east coast, a bit longer for west coast.

Hope this site is helpful; https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...38;postcount=1
Thanks for sharing the link. It was helpful. If I try to compare "Production Begins" on My BMW to the link, it is in "150 - Production Started" which it could be completed fairly quickly based on the given timelines.

In this day and age, I would assume the statuses are updated from the production line in real-time but looks like that's not the case.

My SA told me that vehicle has "build date of 03/07". I am not sure if that means the start or the completion. I am hoping it is completion since it entered "Production begins" status on 02/24. Also does "Priority: 1-Customer Sold" on the order form means it has higher priority than others or is it just a customer ordered vehicle?
Priority 1 is a customer order which is higher priority vs a dealer order. Your best source for status info is the 800 BMW genius number. I don't trust much of what a SA tells me until I can confirm with an independent source. Besides, the SA has access to the same information as you. If you have a build date of 3/7 it will be completed within a couple days of that date. Things will speed up quickly.
