I have a lot of faith in TB’s advice, but still want to try to have as many factors in my favor as possible.

I have my CA updated my Buyer's Order with non-refundable deposits and actual VIN number last week.

So, I have that part covered, I hope.
8/18 is my prod date. Hopefully, it will arrive at the dealer soon, since I am in NoVA.

My 23 X5 45e order went into 150 status on 8/1 and was scheduled for production on 8/17 however it was built last week and moved to awaiting carrier assignment as of 8/12. I am pumped it was finished early, dealer called me on 8/13 and expects it to be in this week!!

Whaaaaaaat that is crazy! Wish I had your luck haha I am in QC, build date was 8/13 so hopefully should see the car in the next couple of weeks, fingers crossed!

Made it through to QC today. Hoping for a quick QC and travel-to-PNW for the now four(?) of us in week 33.

Man, I thought it was just me, but mine is at QC since last Saturday with production date of 08/13. Now I really understand how frustrated it could be for a few of the guys here who had to wait for like 2 weeks at QC alone.

I'm at status 150 with prod date of 8/16 (tomorrow). Is there a chance the the status just hasn't been updated and we'll see it move way down the status line tomorrow or is that being overly optimistic? Odd that is was moved from 8/20 to 8/16 a few days ago and not see any movement that aligns with the new prod date.

That is normal. You usually don't see the movement in status until the production date or perhaps a little before.

Just checked that the status in my garage had changed to ENTERING ASSEMBLY LINE! My production date is 08/16.

Don’t leave without me! Currently in QC.

2 X5 45E production moved to 8/15 from 8/20. On 8/15 changed to 8/16. This morning both cars show Waiting on Carrier Assignment. 😀 Hope they both ship quickly to Philly.

That's crazy. I am thinking maybe the cars that speed through QC are closer to the factory? There's a few of us from 8/13 still in QC but we're west coast. Maybe they sit in QC while waiting to ship?

[stovesax08]

Mine changed to ready for transport last night. I was shocked considering it still said entering assembly line around 5p.

I'm in Texas and still in QC from 8/13. Little bummed because otherwise the car had a good chance of getting here this week. Fingers crossed.

[cruiseguys]

Original production date was 8/19, then moved up to 8/16. This morning it went into QC. Hopefully it will soon be on its way to Florida. Great to see so many others with swift progress on their builds as well.

I had the same scenario and it was awaiting carrier assignment by the next morning…here's hoping the best for you!

[2len]

Still in QC… since Friday…
I hope the carrier is waiting outside to pick it up immediately!
That "refreshing" the screen experience definitely adds some memories to BMW ownership

[ceebee100]

Just some hope for the rest of you. I had a prod date of 8/9 and up to 9am EST this morning mine showed as Dispatched From Factory (it sat at this status since 8/13). When I called the Genius line yesterday for an update, they said it's at the VPC and is scheduled to leave Wednesday Aug 17 and should be at the dealer by Saturday.
I just logged in to my garage a few mins ago and it shows At Dealership! When I called my CA, he said it arrived last night and they are now going through the delivery prep! Picking it up on Thursday after work.
Moral of the story is...take the garage website status with a grain of salt. It's usually lagging.

As usual, you were spot on.. This morning it went to 153. Always nice to see some movement.

Alright - just moved to waiting carrier assignment!

Just for a point of reference - no deletes during the process from order to manufacture.

I don't think so. I'm from west coast and my production date was originally 08/13 but moved up to 08/11. QC was completed in a day. It is currently sitting at port waiting for truck pick up (scheduled for 08/18, according to genius call). Yours should be in QC for a real reason
