So it took 2 weeks to get the production number? I ordered mine last Monday (ED though) and my CA told me it would take at most 1 week to get the production number, but nothing yet, was just about to ping him, but then it looks like it takes more time...

Hey Norb,

The big thing was trying to get a German Built F30 instead of a South African built one. I guess the SA don't ship as often as the German. I was told when they have an actual "spot"/"car" to build then you get your Production Number.

If you are doing EP in Munich, is there any chance that your car could be built in SA?

When I was doing some test drivers on 2013 328i and 335i, the 328i was build in SA and the quality was NOT the same, the 335i felt SOLID and no cracking noises from the dash... the 328i in the other hand was really poor, lots of vibration while was in idle, lots of cracking noise coming from the dash, I did not like the car at all.

Yup, I'm deployed. I'm headed home in under 3 weeks, and as an added bonus my car should be ready for delivery when I get there! Enjoy the anticipation while you track your car through the process.

And here I thought it was a Phish reference....

Do you guys have a "completion date" scheduled yet? I just got my production number Friday and they are saying it should be done May 2.

You are way ahead of me then. I haven't even got a start dated yet. Does your Build sheet have an (SA) after the 328? If it does then it is a South African build and I am sure they are in production now.

Based on my VIN I know its a german build. Have you called the 1-800 # (1-800-831-1117)? They are usually way ahead of the website with info.

You should've got the production number when you left the dealership... assuming they placed the order while you were there. I walked out with mine. They said 60 days and I ordered it on the 13th, but still am "We are currently processing your order and will inform you once your BMW enters production. "

Seems like us 3 should have ours built around the same time, maybe the same ship to their new home?

Haha, that would be cool....I planned on getting EBII but decided to go with GS instead. Yeah I know there is a wide swing of what production slot you could get assigned. For instance I got a slot that was already about to go into production. So when you first log onto the bmw site, you see a different car than you ordered (which freaked me out last time). Alternatively you might be at the end of the que and wait to even enter production (which it sounds like happened to Steve). Some CAs dont know they can use an existing cars production slot and just modify the order to get their customer into production faster - or it could be that the deal is just that backed up with orders/has a smaller allocation.

I know the feeling, except by this point im beyond ready for delivery

My 335xi is nearing the NY/NJ port from Germany (expected on the 25th). This wait is, and has been, tormenting.

My dealer is one of the biggest in the US and they only had a few 335's left in their allocation so who knows. Mine online was the right pic... EBII with 403M. I tried getting them to modify an existing car, but they cycle through their 335's quickly and wouldn't go for it... they only have 5 on the lot (out of 339 according to online inventory) and only 2 m-sports that are lightly optioned.

My dealer has my AW 335i order in hand now, I was told by my CA that they'd try to get a build slot already in line towards the front of the queue from their allocation or from a dealer trade, fingers crossed.

Good luck guys.

At what point in the process do you get your VIN? Have you gotten yours?
