My Production Status Code Moved Backwards ...
Was at 111, and today is at 105. CA said it should have gone into production before June at the latest, thus I was thinking it should have gone into production before the end of this week.
However, with 2014's rolling out in production in July and now I have no scheduled production week, how is this possible? It's either June or bust and now I feel like I'm screwed. Would reach out to CA but he's not in right now |

EDIT: If you do go that route, your car should be a "priority 1" and get to move higher up the list to be shipped (and probably be built too) |

If I went the 2014 route, I certainly wouldn't have it before August. In fact, my understanding is that the MT 328 is moving to SA for production for 2014, and that just means weeks and weeks of more waiting. My car already was listed as priority 1, and still is. Wondering if this means anything any more ... ? |

Dealers love to make bold statements like that to keep people in cars they ordered. BMW shifts/changes production location slots they offer to dealers on a monthly basis. So, while it surely is possible that July production will be all SA for the MT 328, its also possible that in August slots will open in Germany. Its anyone's guess. Your dealer may have only received SA slots for July but they can try to trade for a German slot with another dealer.

dwalls, i just checked and saw that. Not sure why that happened considering it is a priority 1. Im worried the same thing is going to happen to mine as well since I haven't moved to 112 yet. And I checked the 2014 guide and it says nothing about the MT 328i's just being produced in SA for July

I dealt with a different CA initially, who told me about that SA production change, he was obviously wrong. I guess I really just don't want to wait any longer. If I ordered early May, I don't want to wait two whole months until production when it's not like I'm ordering an M3 with port installed items. |

I'm still in 111. Ok, that may be a reason way and I'll check later in the day to see if it moved back. And good choice adding the DHP. I know what you mean about waiting, it sucks especially with a production date so far away!

Do you have a scheduled production date? I don't think that happens until code 112. |

Okay well I hope I move to 112 soon. Seems like at most, it takes 3 weeks to move from the time production number is received to when it moves to 112. Then it's about a week or two until production begins.
