My Custom Order
New member to the board here. Have owned several different BMWs in the past (E30, E34, E46, F15) and have made my first custom order back on 6/13. It went immediately to scheduled for production on 6/14 and changed to production begins on 6/18. BMW Genius says production completion on 7/8. I have two questions -- first of all, when will actual assembly begin if scheduled completion is 7/8? Secondly, does anyone know what transport times are from the factory within the southeast (specifically Alabama)? Thanks in advance for your responses. Below is the summary of my build.

Welcome and looks like a nice build. When it begins will depend on their schedule but it usually only takes a few days including QC but that varies. Shipping will depend in the carriers and their schedule but probably 2-4 days.

So, today is the completion date according to BMW Genius. When I got up this morning, I checked and the online status had jumped directly to "Entering Assembly Line" where it has stayed all day long to this point.
I am not going to admit how many times I have checked on the status today, but I'm a little surprised that it has stalled out. |

The online status is not accurate. Your dealer can always give you the latest info. Production only takes a day or two. After that your car awaits transport for potentially a few days, then gets to the dealer, but the dealer doesn’t know exactly when it will arrive on transport.
Mine took five days to get from SC to Delaware. It’s about a 10-hour drive, but my dealer is small and they may have put it in a depot until they had more than one to deliver to my dealer. I dunno. It was disconcerting that it took so long. So, get a number you can text your sales associate. That is the best way to get timely and accurate info. |

I thought I read on here that they removed that feature, but I guess not. It never works and never has worked. It’s ridiculous, and gives a very bad impression of BMW’s competence to a newbie like me.

As an aside, mine updated to quality check overnight and is now awaiting carrier assignment, so I guess my SA was correct that it should be here the first of next week. |

Took delivery today. Delivery went smoothly except for an issue with the ESA, but it eventually went through and I was able to connect to ConnectedDrive.
Here are a few pics I took. |

The dealer put a sticker on a custom order prior to delivery? That is tacky! Why did you not insist on removal?
