@rockhead mine is "Awaiting Carrier Assignment" which, from what I can gather, may take a few days. It did start yesterday in "Production Begins" and zipped through the other stages quickly. I missed most of them even though I was checking through the day so I do think the website is either a problem or the process is pretty darn fast once it's your turn.

RaleighStEclaire Nice!
Mine advanced a few steps and is at Entering Assembly Line this morning. Good to see some progress. It will be interesting to see when these vehicles get on to transport with the holiday tomorrow. I have heard varying comments as to whether the factory continues any meaningful operations during Thanksgiving and Xmas. |

Mine sat at awaiting carrier assignment for over a week. Then, once it was dispatched, it arrived a couple of days ahead of when they said it would. My dealer indicated, at least for the northeast US, BMW is using a different carrier to truck vehicles, and their timelines are often inaccurate. Once it leaves the factory, it's not really up to BMW anymore, so the timing is uncertain.
Production begins just means all of the parts have been ordered from subcontractors. Those all need to come together, and the body isn't really started until confirmation, generally during the original build slot. Just like booking a cruise...you know the date, but probably don't know where your ship is at any time prior to when you're supposed to board...it's scheduled. |
