I got my allocation today, entered my production number into My Garage, and was happy to see it’s “Scheduled for Production”! I called the Genius Line and I have a Week 7 build.

After an excruciating 3 month wait, finally picked her up yesterday! Happy to see rear seats with minimal "comfort" wrinkles.

^^^ Congrats! Looks gorgeous and I love the glass control knob. Makes me wish I got anthracite poplar vs Fineline wood.

Did you do PCD?

Congrats. You know I have to ask. How’s the audio system sound?

I received my allocation on Thursday and when I checked this morning I was surprised (happily) that I'm "Scheduled for Production" as well. I'm going to call the Genius Line in a little bit to see my build week.

Yeah. This Pic was from the lobby of the PCD. She was front and center for everyone to see when we walked in!

Yeah, looks like “Production begins” stays until the final day or two at completion. Calling will get you a completion date.

ah okay, I had called them on monday when it moved from 'order received' to 'scheduled for production'. at that time, they said that they were estimating it to be a week 5 build (late jan/early feb). I didn't expect it to go to 'production begins' so soon but i dont know if its still falls into that same ETA or if my production got moved up somehow.

I've never gotten any "week #" from talking to Genius or tracking online. The automated Genius line told me my estimated completion date is Jan 17th.

Oh, interesting. I called the Genius line and spoke to a representative and she gave me my build week but didn’t provide a production date. I wonder if a production date isn’t known until it moves to “Production Started’? I’m new to this so just pure speculation.

You'll be able to get an estimated completion date from the automated system (or a phone rep or your dealer) a day or two after your VIN is assigned.

how many days after they post your VIN number do you get access to the owners manual? right now it keeps saying my VIN is invalid or something. They posted it on Saturday

I didn't have access to mine until after production was complete, maybe " entering assembly line". So for me it was a couple of weeks.

Yeah mine was pretty close to being done before I had access to the owners manual.

Where do you go to have access to the owner manuals? I did not see them in my garage or probably I did not pay enough attention. My car appears on MDecoder website right now, according to the BMW Genius it should have gotten to the dealership today.

If you have an iPhone you can download the drivers guide app which is essentially your owners manual. Not sure if they have an android app.

Thank you, it worked.

@edit: I think it is downloading with 1b/s or those two manuals from there have 100GB's each because it is barely downloading. And when I get out of there, the download stops. 😞
