Anyone recently place an order? (build time estimate)
My dealer is giving me a 12 week estimation for delivery on a car with no individual options. Said it would begin week 41 and then possibly delivered towards the end of Dec or early Jan. I've been seeing some people getting theirs after around 8 weeks. Are the holidays going to cause delays?
Also, any recommendations for dealers in the Tampa/mid-Florida area? Last edited by Mach550; 09-19-2018 at 08:17 PM.. |

I placed my order on 24th August, without an allocation. Individual paint.
Secured allocation first week of Sept for PW45. All things look on track so far, and dealer is estimating arrival just before or just after Thanksgiving (Atlanta area). I may actually take delivery closer to early December due to PCD scheduling. |

My order was placed last week, I had a production number the next day with a build slot for the week of Oct 8. Probably looking at December for delivery to California. No individual options at all. |

Interesting. I have PW45 and my CA is telling me I could potentially take PCD late November/early December. That seemed like a pretty quick boat ride...so based on your timeline from PW to PCD it seems like I might be more looking at a late Christmas present.

Week 45 has you starting production in early November, your car won't be on a boat until close to the end of November, I would say PCD late December/early Jan

Ok 71 days to delivery and there are 89 days left in the year.
I ordered a 540i on 10/1 and was told i have a tentative build date of 3rd week in November. Dealer says it should be here around Xmas. I did get Indv Merino seats but regular paint. Possibly?

My dealer told me he'd expect delivery in the last week of November or first week of December based on a week 45 build, then added a big fat "maybe" to that when I asked for PCD. |

I ordered back in August and was told I will have an allocation which would make the delivery in October . But then I asked again and they said my car will be in production this month (October) hahaha now I have no idea when the car will be ready. Guess they did not give me the allocation.

I ordered my 540 at end of August. Was initially given week 41 build slot. Then out the blue it was put back 4 weeks so my sales guy phoned head office and they pulled it back to week 41. Currently sat at status 5500 and due to be built next week. Fingers crossed.
Wish we had more visibility of build process. I'm sure BMW Genius must be getting fed up with the requests. |

I've been told that my prod week was partially due to having to wait for a week associated with individual paint. PCD = Performance Center Delivery. Typically adds 2-4 weeks to delivery timeframe from what I've gathered. |

Placed the order just now with a week 46 allocation, keeping my fingers crossed it gets accelerated.

Where do you guys get the production number and all the details to be able to check which week your car is being built? I just called my dealer and asked for a number and he said there no such thing.

Looks like the dealer is trying to pull a fast one on you. This can happen when he does not have any allocation and was not able to swap an allocation from any other dealer. Otherwise when he places the order in BMW system against an allocation the build week, production number and even the VIN is available almost immediately. Once you have that info you can track it in the My BMW site or through BMW genius
