'21 Comp build/timing thread

with all the covid stuff possibly screwing up the timing of things i figured it would be a good idea to get some dates for how things progress these days.

with that in mind, I figured I would post the build progress of my order.

I was given a production number about 2 weeks ago and told I had a week 28 build date (July 6-12).

I have been checking the bmwusa site every few days and on 06-26 it changed status to:

PRODUCTION BEGINS (150)


The dealer told me if the "normal" timing was in place I should see the car here in Indianapolis some time mid-August.

I will post the timing as status dates change all the way thru to the dealer. ill take a bunch of pictures once i get it too if people are interested.

as far as build I got all options except CCB with DG + Full black

Thanks for posting, I'm waiting as well so it's fun to watch others progress.

Me and a friend ordered around the same time as you!

well, as an update, as of 2 days ago, the BMW Genius line says my car should be finished this Monday, July 13. This is the end of Week 28/beginning of Week 29, so if they make that window, everything is on schedule.

right now the website is still showing "Production begins", so if I do not see any changes by July 15, I will call them back to see what they can tell me.

I cant imagine that it would take more than a few days to build the car once the body shows up on the line.

i considered the CCBs, but the added initial expense + way more to replace rotors and pads down the line steered me away from them. i dont track my cars, so not worried about fade, and i can spend quite a bit of time cleaning wheels before i exceed those costs! hehe

hopefully it on a boat in a week

Yea, i hear you ... the CCB are probably overkill and i went back and forth a few times. I was considering pull them but cars went into production a lot faster than expected so that made the decision for me.

Yes hopefully on the boat in a week, we're taking delivery on the east coast as well so probably same boat!

It would be cool if BMW sent a photo of your car at the end of each production stage. They could post it to my BMW garage

With today's technology one would think it is not that hard to do. Your car has a paper and electronic trail

that sucks. I can't see why. if they would normally get m5 allocations to actually get one on the lot there's no reason you shouldn't be able to get one.

you can always go with any other dealer and have it shipped to your local place for pickup.

Looking forward to seeing some pics of your build.
I'm on the fence of either building a 2021 M5 Comp or a 2021 M8GC Comp this fall, so I'm curious to see what your initial response is about the 2021 M5
