That status means the factory accepted the order which will be built in the slot the dealer assigned to it. It's like getting a reservation for a plane ride...it's for a certain date, but it could be way far in the future.

Your dealer can tell you what week it is scheduled for, and with the production number, you can call BMW, and they can tell you. It could be very soon, or it could be months away, then, you have the shipping time.

Production begins means that you are in the queue. They are gathering the specific parts for your car. It takes about two weeks to go from Beginning Production to actually beginning the build, depending on what options you chose. You're getting close!

So far:

Order received: 4/5
Scheduled for Production: 4/9
Back to order received (no idea why): 4/12
Scheduled for production: 4/16
Production begins: 5/3
Automated line for BMW says production estimated to be complete: 5/15

Same production week as you, FWIW.

Wow yours moved a lot quicker than mine to the phase we are at now. My dealer had to find an allocation from another dealer and build week 19 was the earliest he could get. Looks like yours had an unused allocation that he/she was able to put you into right away...

Yah, he gave me a allocation that was already in status 112. I made some final changes on monday and it went into production begins on tuesday.
I just used the genius automated system, and it says est completion date is 5/11! I was expecting end of the month, turned out to be alot faster.

How accurate are the estimated completion date usually?
