Production dates Quota Req Prod. Sub Req. Prod. Conf. Prod. Est. Prod Date Act. Prod Date To the right of "Quota" is the Year/Month of the quota, in my case 2012/11, which indicates a November quota allocation. "Req prod" is the requested production Year/Month/Week. In my case, it reads 2012/11/45, indicated week 45, which is within November 2012. I would expect you should have information next to Quota and the Req. Prod. fields, at least assuming you have a real allocation with an assigned build week. |

I don't have any of that under special request, just gets into the options and pricing. and I also noticed on the top it says vehicle inquiry: design/MSRP. I think I need to get an updated report

To confirm, what does it say next to "Priority?" If it doesn't say "Customer Sold" or something to that effect, then your CA has been feeding you a line (or several). You have NO allocation, and it's anyone's guess when you'll go into production (as soon as he can find a dealer to trade for an allocation, I suppose, or as soon as his dealership receives some new allocations, maybe next month, IF you're lucky.) If I were you I would search elsewhere for a dealer who has or can guarantee a traded allocation with guaranteed production week, and as soon as you find it fire your current bozo who's stringing you along as he doesn't deserve your business. Was it your CA that told you something to the effect that he's going to "call Germany" or something along those lines? LMAO, what a load of salesman BRAVO SIERRA. Pisses me off just thinking about it. |

Priority 1-customer sold.
From what I can tell, there is no such thing as "guaranteed" production week, until it actually goes into production. Lot of people on here in status 112 for a while. I have a production order number, have called the BMW NA several times, including live agents.. The order is in, just waiting for it to hit production. Sheet he sent me was status 111, order accepted, so maybe that explains the design/MSRP. It was what he sent me to confirm all of my options were correct. It went to 112 within a day or two. And even the 111 sheet has both his name and mine on it, and the dealership as the ship to. This is the second car I've bought from him, 3rd if you count my father-in-law's. Don't think he's jerking me around, but he did trade for the allocation. |

Your guy, despite the relationship, does not appear to be providing you with the same level of information and transparency. I'm not sure where in NY you're located, but FWIW, I ordered from a dealer in NJ, less than an hour from NYC. I'd be happy to connect you if you're interested. |

According to my dealer I will be able to pick up the car in week 50. I hope this is true, since I plan using the car for a trip from Trondheim to Oslo during X-mas

If I were in your shoes I would be demanding answers and demanding an explanation as to why my experience wasn't matching the hundreds of folks posting online, but maybe that just makes me a demanding person. |

I think that is the same week as my car is delivered to dealer, so maybe we're on the same batch

And it's a $60k car, I think we are aloud to be at least a little demanding... Just trying to balance that and being reasonable. I have some time, but I'm starting to lose patience. I don't think they can put an order in without an allocation, but that doesn't mean the allocation has an immediate build date. I guess he could be lying or a dumbass and maybe the build week is later than he wants to admit to me, but honestly, I don't think that's the case. If anything, he's not aggressive enough, just not the shady fast talking type of salesman. But he needs to get on top of it and get me some answers. Can anyone confirm the message you get from the 800# for 111 vs 112? What about everyone else that has been in 112 for weeks, anyone get a definitive explanation? |

If you still don't get satisfaction when you speak to him today, another option is to reach out to another CA and have them look up the status for you? If you're that unhappy with your order status and would consider buying elsewhere, I'm sure many would be happy to look up your status and you could find out what's going on in five minutes. If you need a recommendation let me know; very happy with the level of detail and information my CA provided and his responsiveness. |

Just spoke to my CA. He's sending me an updated VIR with status 112 and build week of next week (didn't mention the number but said its next week, I'll see what the sheet says). BMW NA still has it at status 111 but we know that tends to be behind. He also assured me I'm locked into November pricing and promotions. Also assured me he couldn't get a production order number without actually having the allocation, which makes sense, and he's trying to find out what the hold up is (maybe parts like others have said, who knows..).
As long as he's right about next week, and no further delays, I'm expecting a VIN# on Monday. |

Can anyone confirm the difference between "req. prod." and "Conf. Prod." on the VIR? Does the Conf prod = confirmed production week to start production, or expected completion?

For me, they were both listed as the same production week number, and it was the week my production completed. My production actually started the previous week, at least according to the Owner's portal and the 1.800 #. I assumed the first meant "Requested production" and the second "Confirmed production" but that's just my speculation. Below "Conf. Prod" I then had "Est. Prod. Date" and "Act. Prod. Date," which I assumed to be Estimated and Actual production dates, respectively. Both of those ended up showing the same day, the day my car finished production. Hope that helps! |

I'm making that same assumption. If so, my requested production week is 49, but confirmed says 51. My CA claims this is not up to date (from the BMW NA site not Germany). The NA site still says I'm in 111, he insists German site says 112 (and the 800# seems to be 112), so I'm hoping it goes in this week or next. Waiting on another update from him today.

I waited for my S5 for 8 months, but the difference is I knew it was going to take a while, limited production, literally no allocations for months... This time, I was not expecting to be sitting here waiting a month just to get into production. All about expectations I guess.

I was actually thinking about that before, hoping that's why my Requested is 49 and confirmed is 51.. meaning I'm hoping that means it got pushed from 51 to 49, not the other way around... he seems to think it's 49.

So.. my CA called and my car is finally in production ..
The new Vehicle Inquiry Report shows the VIN with a status of 150 but nothing for "Act. Prod. Date: ". Is this normal? Also my car model number changed from 133O SULEV to 133N. Is there a difference between these two.. I couldnt find much info online. |
