Production week to delivery time, east coast

Can anyone share how much time it took from the end of their production week until it arrived at the dealer? Mine is scheduled for production first week of April, and trying to get an idea of when I should anticipate delivery in NC.

My order was placed the last week of December. It went to actual production status 150 on February 2. Was finished February 16. Went 180 February 19. Went 193 February 26. Loaded onto Bishu Vessel March 2. Arrived at Brunswick March 20 since it made a between stop in Nova Scotia. Stayed in Brunswick waiting for a truck until March 24. Still waiting for it to show at the dealer.

If it actually goes 150 in the first week of April, you should have it at the end of May.

What is your order status?

I have an order scheduled for week 17 and it's still at 111.

My week is 14 (per the dealer) and BMW says they have received my order, but no confirmed production date yet.

Your car should be going into production right now. Have you tried calling the 1-844-4GENIUS number and asking?

I have a week 13 (3/26 - 4/1) car, and my timeline has been:
  • 1/13 - Ordered at dealer
  • 1/31 - Production number received
  • 3/16 - Production started, estimated completion 3/28
  • 3/24 - Paint shop, estimated completion 3/27
  • 3/26 - VIN updated on bimmer.work with an "production date" of 3/26
  • 3/27 - Vehicle is being transferred to the port of exit

Week 14 is next week so you should be further ahead by now. What color did you order?

Donington. No special order. I have called the genius today and the status hadn't changed. Makes me nervous.

2018 BMW M4  [0.00]
Put in order beginning of February. (Someone dropped out of their order, so I ended up moving up to the beginning of the line, so basically I got an editable Allocation which was due to start production asap).

MBB/Aragon Brown/B&W/20" mixed 706M

Ordered side rocker panel decals and skirts as well as CF diffuser.

Production Started - March 2nd
Entered Body Shop - March 12th
Entered Paint Shop - March 12th
Entry Assembly - March 13th
Handover to Distribution - March 14th
Handover to Carrier/Load Assignment - March 14th
Dispatched from AG - March 15th
Arrival at port or compound - March 16th
Assigned to Carrier - March 24th (W&W, Independence II)

Arrival date in Baltimore - April 6th (tentative)
Arrival date to Dealership - Within a week after the 6th.

So Less than 2 months from order to expected delivery.

Thanks for all the information. Not sure why mine was bumped, but hopefully I'll have mine by mid June if it finishes production the 4th week of April.

Nice, please share some pics when you get your car. I have the same color as you and interested to see how the CF parts will look on MBB.

You bet. I'll be getting PPF and ceramic coating, so after that I'll do a quick photoshoot.

Looks like my donington gray M5 should arrive at port in Baltimore this Sunday. Any thoughts based on experience for how much time it will take to reach my dealer in NC? Are these cars clearing customs quickly?

Customs should be quick. The truck schedule is the wild card. I’d bet 2 days at port and 4 to 8 days trucking. But that’s a terrible guess. Good luck !
