Wow that is much faster than I anticipated! Fingers crossed

I have a "prodDate": "2023-11-14"

But it's interesting / worrying that my garage shows:
"Track Status: Production begins 2024"

It's same for me as well. But, I think it's just a bug with how HTML is displayed. I checked the raw http responses and its without 2024. Looks like they are appending the modelYear field to the header message.

"overHeadMessage": "Scheduled for production",

Placed order 10/16 and was given Week 46 from Genius, called today and it's still week 46 and no update on prodDate or VIN ...

That is the formatting of the screen - 2024 X5 xDrive40i.

Nothing yet for me either. I placed order on 20 Oct. Just got off phone with Genius, still Week 46.

Count me as another one showing an 11/14 production date. Although, reading the other threads for earlier weeks, it seems that a lot of these end up and are ahead of schedule by a few days.

Got a production date of 2023-11-18

[Madison51]

This morning my X5 status went to 153 and is on the assembly line. The production date went from 11-4 now showing 11-6. Does this make sense? The car is being assembled today, why did the production date move to 11-6? Thanks

The production is updated with each step after Production Begins until it is ready to be shipped when the final build date is determined.

Hello fellow WK46er's
Totally impressed with the level of knowledge here..my dealer has NOT educated me at all about how to track my order. I got a phone call with my VIN and a printout when the order was placed. This may be typical behavior for them.

WK46 (I believe) here..subject line is the data element I am pulling from. If I'm incorrect, please let me know.

Before thanksgiving??? I'd be so happy.
It's been a long couple of months now returning to the office full time after working from home during Covid.

BTW this is my first BMW order, anyone know how new the paint is on these?
Is curing time needed before a paint sealer can be applied?

No waiting is necessary, you can apply it after taking delivery.

thanks, was thinking these panels may be prepainted but I saw the, "In the paint booth," stage in tracking.
Do you know what that stage's activities are?

[TurtleBoy]

They are painted a day or so prior to assembly. That stage doesn’t usually show when tracking Spartanburg builds.

WK 46er’s, Aynone have any updates on their builds?

I haven't seen mine change going on 7 days now.

This is pretty normal. The timeline is that the car changes to ready for production approximately 14 days prior to its production date. Usually around day 10-12 after the change you start to see action, it only takes a day or two to complete the build. Unless they move people who are early in week 46 up, my guess is that we won't see any changes until later this upcoming week.

Week 46 (Nov13) but still in "Scheduled for Production". Forum members have indicated that the status will change to "Production begins" 10 days before the scheduled week. Should I be worried ?

My understanding is that moving into the next stages completes with in days once it begins.
Delivery to carrier or scheduled carrier, could be any time in WK46.
You may see a change today.
