Congratulation, Rashid. You're lucky you got such a quick turnaround. You ordered yours after mine and I'm still waiting on a prod date as are others on this forum.

I guess it depends on your dealer but mine was ready same day, even with the dealer installed options. (M Grill and sport hand brake grip)

I made my first ever BMW purchase last month. I'm pretty excited and obsessive about tracking it.
335i, Sport Line, Imperial Blue, Everest Grey, Alum/Black Accent, Tech Pkg, Prem Sound Pkg, Sports Auto, etc... May 5: Ordered May 11: Production Number Received May 18: Modified Order (removed Cold Weather and added Heated Front/Fold-down Rear Seats. Tried to add Adaptive M Suspension, but it didn't fly.) May 22: Production Scheduled - No Date I was told the car would go into production this week and I "should" have it in early July. Based on the time frames posted here, I don't have my hopes up. |

I thought I read somewhere that they shutdown for like 4 weeks to get ready for 2013. I could be mistaken but I swear I saw it somewhere.

The order I placed was for MY12 and unless my CA isn't keeping me properly informed it should still be built as such. There are still a few MY12's that need to be built from what I can see, so for the sake of us late comers I hope that's incorrect.

Here we are 8 and half weeks later and I still do not have a confirmed production date. Also the car is being built in SA and I live in California. That is a month+ travel time. I will be lucky to get my car before August. At that point the MY 2013 will be available in a month. I think I may have to renegotiate the deal, or cancel and get a MY2013. |

Did your dealer tell you what build week your production number was for? Did you get a Vehicle Inquiry sheet from the dealer? If not ask for one.

I ordered mine (335i sport) end of March...and all I have to show for it is status 112. Why won't BMW make my car?

I ordered my 335i on March 20th and it did not get built until May 8th. The dealer told me that this was due to the not having any 335i slots left that were allocated to him and he had to trade with another dealer to get me in for a South African build. A German build was out another two months. The car sat in Durban, South Africa for a couple weeks and shipped on May 21st on the Grand Orion.
It is supposed to arrive in the port of Charlotte, SC on June 25th and then at the performance school (where I am picking it up) on the June 26th. Looking at the shipping schedule for the Grand Orion, it doesn't go to Charlotte, so I am assuming it is going to change ships in Bremerhaven to a WWL ship that does go to Charlotte. Looking at WWL schedules, no ships arrive on in Charlotte on the 25th of June, but two do arrive on the 7th and 10th of July. So that is when I am assuming my car makes landfall in the US. Assuming it takes them a week (or more) to get it ready and time slot for me to pick it up, it is going to be 4 months plus from when I ordered the car to when I actually get it. A far cry from my last BMW that was only 8 weeks from order to pick-up. At least I am still driving a BMW while I wait. Phil |

How did you find out when and where your car is scheduled for production? All my dealer tells me is that it's still at Status 112 and does not know when or where it will go into production. Is there something on the Vehicle Inquiry report?

if your CA does not know then chances are you dont have a car on order as yet. Your CA has control of where your car gets to be built at. Also should know approx when its going in production.

My CA sent me the Design/MSRP page of Vehicle Inquiry Report showing my Production Number and Status 112 (Scheduled for Daily Production Pack) so I'm pretty sure my order is in (also confirmed by Customer Service at BMW USA). My CA is new so I'm thinking he may not know how to find out the Production week and build plant (it wasn't on the VIR Design/MSRP page he sent me). Could the info be on the Status page of the VIR?

Looks like our cars are going through production at the same time. I was informed today my car should enter production within the next 10 days and be completed the week of the 25th.

Looking at the WW shipping, next ship leaving Durban is the Bess on June 14, arriving Bremerhaven July 5, shifting to the Talisman July 10 and arriving Galveston July 30. 18 weeks from my 21 March order date. The next MOL ship leaving Durban is the Genuine Ace on Jun 16 which will arrive Bremerhaven 11 July and Baltimore 23 July and Jacksonville, FL 26 July - which would be about the same with road transport to Houston, end of July. 18 weeks from order date. Original ETA from the CA was week of May 14! Only 8 weeks off! Last edited by Poor Knight; 06-08-2012 at 07:58 PM.. Reason: More info |
