Relative to making changes in general, typically you can do it while the car is ordered, but waiting for its production week (i.e., status 111 / 112) but once the vehicle starts production (status 150) no changes are allowed.
this is an old list, but probably still generally accurate:
37 Order is at BMW NA
87 Production Week Assigned
97 Order sent to AG
100 Order deleted by AG
101 Error in data transmitted
102 Special Order (no Prod Week)
105 Order out of Prod. Period
111 Order Accepted at AG
112 Order scheduled for Production
150 Production Started
151 Body Shop Started
152 Paint Shop Started
153 Assembly Started
155 Production Completed
160 Released to Distribution
168 AG Stock
170 Waiting Workshop
172 Planned for Workshop
174 Workshop Entry
176 Workshop Complete
180 Waiting for Export Dispatch
181 Waiting for Domestic Dispatch
182 AG Load No. — Released to Carrier
190 Dispatched ex(port?) BMW AG
191 Returned to BMW AG
193 Arrived at Port of Exit (where my car was stalled)
194 Selected for Shipment
195 Shipped from Port of Exit
196 Shipment Arrival

Nice that's a much more complete list than what I had. Thanks!
I believe the first one should be 47 not 37; 047 order bank request entered
When a car is sold, e.g. you place an order and to help nudge BMW to accept an order and provide an allocation, the dealer enters the Priority: 1 Customer Sold
Some other status that I have after 196 but w/o numbers are...
??? VPC prep complete / carrier released (truck not assigned)
??? Dealer arrival / dealer prep complete
??? Delivery
Something things that I have noticed...
1. Once the car enters production, for us it typically jumps from 150 straight to 160/168 b/c it takes less than a day to build.
2. Delivery is much quicker for Spartanburg vehicle b/c we're not waiting on ships and VPC.
