My CA said it was really hard getting the 335i allocation. Oh well, I got the car and during the wait I had enough time to collect the money, so I can pay it off. I'm now happy and enjoying the ride! It was not the best experience, but the car is just making me to forget everything.

My 328i sport was on the Talisman as well. Let's see how long at the prep center and the truck ride to the great plains takes.

"Bucket List" or Bust!
Compared to my 2004 experience ordering a 545i w. Sport package, this whole process has been infuriating!!
02/22/12: test drove both F30 versions, decided to await xDrive 06/05/12: finally signed order for 335xi, promised Week 27 production 07/12: shortly after Wk. 27 start, CA advised production delayed till Wk. 30 07/26: BMW phone site states: "In production, completion est. 08/04" If this, quite literally, wasn't my "bucket list" vehicle, I would have either never made or, later, cancelled the order a long time ago.http://www.f30post.com/forums/images/smilies/sigh.gif |

Make sure your order is in Priority 1 status, you should be able to ask the sales manager to confirm (have them visually show you by printing out the Vehicle Inquiry Report).

Yep, Priority "1-Customer Sold". It's hard to believe that I was moved up to the front of the line, as I should have been, to get a 2013 since I originally ordered a 2012. It's easier to believe that the only 2013's made so far since they started production 3 weeks ago have all been designated for Saudi princes, celebrities, BMW employees, and politicians. I'm just one Batman movie away...

Production started yesterday
Strange that it began on the same day that I had to blow off some serious steam on the forum! April 30: Leasing application approved May 9: "Putting the order into the order bank" late-May/early-June: MY 2012 no longer available, so ordering MY 2013 July 1: Officially ordered July 27 : Production started, est. completion August 7th |

4/21: Placed order for 2012 335i 6/16: Updated order for a 2013 as dealership still had not received a 335i allocation (despite getting 3 for 2013 335i xdrives) 6/30: CA emailed that the dealership still has not received an allocation for a 335i, but would be trading for one within the next few days 7/5: Received production number scheduled for an early August build 7/27: Started production in SA I have an SA build, so I still have a long wait, just a lot less long than 3 months ago.

After 28 days at sea (and 14 weeks since I placed my order), my ship has finally reached Port Hueneme. Assuming no delays at the VDC, looks like I may have my 1st BMW in a week .

My car finished production a couple of days ago, and it's at the port waiting for a boat. I just might get it before the end of August. |

Updated Timeline:
May 5: Ordered May 11: Production Number Received May 18: Modified Order May 22: Production Scheduled - No Date June 18: VIN Received and in Production June 27: Production Complete June 29: Being Transported to the Port of Exit July 3: At Port Awaiting Shipping Vessel July 5: On board the Turandot with an ETA in NY/NJ of July 19 July 19: Boat arrived in NJ. Waiting for it to be processed and sent to the dealer. July 24: At dealership. July 28: Picked up and skeeted all over the place. After 12 long weeks, the car is now in mine (and my wife's :P). Despite the amount of time it took, it was a pleasant experience. Got a pretty in-depth rundown of most of the features. I am coming from an '05 Camry and this is my first BMW, so it's slightly overwhelming. I want to make a few mods, but I'm going to wait a bit to get used to the car as it is. I am currently very happy with the purchase and have little to no complaints.

Out of curiosity, what did the dealership need to do to it, that took four days?

I probably could have picked it up on Wednesday or Thursday, but I wanted my wife to come along and she could only do so on Saturday.

Placed the order with the CA on 29 June. No more 335i allocations right now. Anyone know how often dealers get their allocations??
