My company is sponsoring a PC track afternoon on 5/12 so I have asked if I can pick mine up the day before or day after while I am already up there. Waiting for an email from BMW but no word yet. Also I wasn’t aware of the Drivers Guide app. Plugged in VIN but no manual there. Already have a web shortcut to it.

You have to schedule PCD before you hit 150 status unfortunately.

Same!

I thought for sure I would see "Production Begins" today, but no such luck. When my 50e is finished will it come to Central Florida via truck or rail??

So in this data it shows: 'prodDate": 2023-04-30"
Does that mean the expected completion date or the start assembly date is 4/30?
Thanks

[SwissBeemer]

This is the start of assembly but assembly takes less than a day so they are essentially the same except for QC being a gamble it seems. (Could be anywhere from the same day to weeks in extreme cases.)

Yay - My car moved to 150 - Production Begins status this morning... build date 5/4 ... the wait is soooo looong...

My week 18 50e build changed at about 6:15 am PDT today 4/20. Production date is 5/3/23.

Just FYI re PDC, I was able to change to PDC the week before production back in 2022 when it was already in status 150. Talk to your sales rep and see if he can add it.

Hopefully my 50e will be next to change to Production begins. Genius said I'm a Week 18 Production.....so I'm checking often!

That’s encouraging. Trying to get an answer on this still.

Mine went to Production Begins this morning and I have a VIN, but where do you find the actual Production date?

Great feeling knowing your build is getting closer!

So, it looks like all of us who posted in this Week 18 thread have a production date between Sunday, 4/30/23 and Friday, 5/5/23. My guess is there will be no updates on build progress until early Sunday morning, 4/30/23. Since I have a production date of 5/1/23 I probably won't see any change until that day.

Just got a message from my Dealer, that my X5 entered production on the 21st and should be at the dealership between the 15th and 20th. I'm located in NC, but still confused at the tracker, that says 5/5. Maybe that's the expected completion from QC.

Your dealer misled you a bit. Production Begins does not mean that assembly has begun. It means that a VIN as been assigned and parts ordered/allocated. Assembly will be done on your production date and takes less than a day. If your production date is 5/5 it will likely be at your dealer the following Monday or Tuesday depending on carrier availability.
