There are probably other forum members that could speak to this better, but I'll throw out there that G8Xs are produced at Regensburg, while the F90 is produced at Dingolfing. Maybe Regensburg is further ahead on their scheduling? Sorry that this is only speculation and conjecture and doesn't actually answer your question.

I haven't called the "Geniuses" in a while, today might be a good day if I find the time. I'll keep you posted as to what they say!

Just called them and asked if there were any changes in regards to the production week. He said he sees it as week 20 by May 20th, if there are any changes I will keep you posted. Feel free to let me know if you get to call them and happen to get any interesting info.

Thank you!

EDIT - I thought I would try calling now and would hang up if I had to wait on hold, but someone picked up immediately. I stated what you mentioned about G8X Week 21 productions starting early, and she could not confirm or deny this. She was able to tell me that my production was week was actual (and not estimated), and barring an extreme event, that I should actually begin production during Week 21 and likely not before, but conversely not likely after either. Perhaps give them a call and see if you can confirm that your Week 21 production is actual. At least you'd be able to take some comfort in knowing that your definitely going to start production then. Hope this helps. Keep us updated!

Heeeeey at least that's a week earlier than what you were initially told?

Just saw it thank you for reaching out as well. Lol they can never confirm and deny stuff that we hear from actual customers here. I was week 9 then pushed to week 20 and still week 20 (per the conversation I just had) so I wasn't bumped up from 21 but at least its still the same date (at least for now)

Whoops sorry I misunderstood that you're initial pushed back date was Week 21 production.

So true, LOL. The least helpful piece of information I got on the forum was a hundred times more useful than the most helpful piece of information I got from any Genius!

Keep us posted!

ZB you should be in production begins now. I’ve also got a Malachite green metallic M5 on order (Jan 28th). It’s been week 20 production since they confirmed it. I’m guessing we didn’t move back or forward because they plan the paint lines to run at specific times.

Hey MilwaukeeM5 you're the first person I met on this forum with malachite green on order, thank you for reaching out 🙌🏻

I took over a dealer order (black on black car) that was at 112 status with build week 9 on February 2nd then went back to 105 until late February then was confirmed for week 20. So you being week 20 from the beginning makes me feel better lol.

I just checked now, still shows me as Scheduled for Production (112), did yours switch to Production Begins (150)?

It just changed this morning to Production Begins for me. I’d imagine if yours hasn’t changed it should in the next day or two. I would think our cars have to go through the paint line at the same time, and doubly so with us both being told week 20.

Fingers crossed yours changes soon too.

I was really good at not checking the website "too often" but now I'm back to checking it every other hour lol. Congratulations on progressing to Production Begins, hopefully my status will change soon as well

zb2603 and MilwaukeeM5, I'm rooting for you both!

You were right MilwaukeeM5, I just checked it now and it finally switched. After waiting for exactly 90 days, seeing the VIN assigned feels good.

Thank you dude, it finally went to 150. So its your turn, hopefully within the next week you will also change status 🙌🏻

Thank you! I think I am going back to checking MyGarage several times per day.

[ResIpsaLoquitur]

As noted above, I started going back to checking multiple times per day. I just slid backwards to order received again.

Hoping you're all continuing to make progress on yours.

Awww man I wonder what is the logic behind yours falling back to order received?! I'm going to call the genius line tomorrow to see if mine is going to fall back too

It seems like there is no rhyme or reason unfortunately. There are members here who had this happen fo them 6 or 7 times before their production actually began. This is the second time this has happened to me. The last time it was only for half a week or so though. Hopefully it will go forward again relatively quickly.

I'll be calling Genius as well and will report back.

I hope yours stays on track!

Hey guys - wondering if anyone can help me out here. My 2021 M5C was just totalled in NYC.... a dude ran a light and there went the car - thankfully everyone was totally fine, but the car is totalled so I need to get into a new M5C which is MISERABLE right now given the new lease rates & supply chain issues.

I just put an order in on an allocation that has a build week of the 26th (6/19-6/25), and my dealer who I've gotten 3 other cars from including the dead m5 said he fully expects the new car to be here by August 1st AND that he expects the car to have all the options we specc'd which was all driver aids etc except B&W. Based on what I've read here and on some other threads, I'm wondering if he's being really overly optimistic, of if there's a chance the time may come by this time.

He said we should get a VIN number by next week. What do you guys think? Think it will come in time and if not when do you think it will come? Im struggling because my insurance Chubb only covers a rental up to 1.5k total and I need a car for my job so I'm pretty screwed here and am praying to sweet baby jesus this car somehow will come on time.

Thanks guys!

I think the best advice anyone can give a customer right now, is order the car and just wait... This car could be done on time, and sit at port for 2 months. It could take 6 months.. nobody knows, and nobody has a definitive answer, thats the truth.
