m50i Orders - anyone else seeing slippage?

So, I ordered an m50i with w6 allocation on 12/31. Have seen it get to 112, and slide back to 111 twice now. It is currently at week 8. It's fully loaded in terms of packages(Exec,DHP,DAP,Parking,Climate), but otherwise a standard color. I am about to sell my perfectly good daily and will be waiting on the x5 arrival with no steed in hand - makes me nervous.

wondering if anyone else is witnessing this? I know that 111-112 bounce happens, but the production week is also sliding along with, while other builds here seem progressing faster than expected.

I'm wondering when more allocations drop so I can participate in this slippage conversation

Is this normal?

We have a similar story- ordered exactly as rpm 50 did- fully loaded w same packages, Carbon Black paint, on Dec 31. Said they had an allocation and would go in 3rd week in January. Sent an email asking for update and the reply was basically they would let me know. We have heard nothing more. We are concerned.
Looking at paperwork on order and see Order status - 047 - Spec. Released -no. Googled 047, took me to Bimmerfest and it is clear that this may not be good. Anyone else had this?

Garage List
Mine I think is W6 (2.7.22 is the prodDate). It's been solid at 150 for a couple of weeks now. Just about every option possible is on it. Standard color.

Update

Received our production number today! Expected delivery in March. Certainly happy not to be 047!
