Have August orders begun production yet?

If you ordered a car earlier in August, is it being built now that the factory workers’ vacation period is over, and the “this and that” problems have hopefully been corrected?

Yes, finally! I ordered my 2020 330i the last week of July and the status went to "Production Begins" on 8/2 and sat in that status until Monday 8/26. Since then it is now in the status of "Awaiting carrier assignment". Not sure if I will have any issues at the port with the recall yet but I hope not!

My order was placed last week of July, VIN was provided the first week of August and status changed to "Production Begins." Status finally changed today to "Exterior Assembly." Was relieved to finally see it moving along. Based on the timeline posted by others, hoping to see it on the east coast by the first week in October. (Birthday week for me, so keeping fingers crossed).

Nope. Mine still says order received even though my dealer said they are showing it in production starting 2 weeks ago. I just think they are full of it.

Now moved to the paint booth, we are humming along.

JMatte, could also be based on priority assigned to the car and based on the dealership you purchased it from. I know they have different order priorities allocated to each dealership, I would imagine that also expands depending on the size/sales of each dealer as well.

I hope things pick up for you soon.

My order was placed Aug. 16th. Now showing "Scheduled for Production" but no VIN assigned yet and no date showing for when production begins.

Cantona, if you are scheduled for production you can call the BMW genius line to get details on your production week (or your estimate production week). That would at least give you an idea of when the car would be built.

As for the status changes, based on my experience and from other posts I have seen, once the body assembly process occurs, then you are on the line and moving along.

Mine sat in production begins for 3-4 weeks (including the 2 week plant shutdown for August).

Ah, didn’t realize I could call for an estimated production week. Thanks!

I just checked and now it says mine is scheduled for production. I'll call tomorrow and see if they can tell me what week it will start. I ordered mine on 5 August and it's been sitting at order received until just now.

How about the late August orders?

For those of us who ordered during the two week factory shutdown (unknown at the time for me) - what info do you have?

The CA at the dealer tells me little aside from they have a production number (August 20). Calling the Genius line I did get that my expected week for going into production was week 36 which they said would mean entry to production by September 6.

They are cranking them out! my order was placed July 28th, moved to in production Aug 6 only to sit because of the shutdown. on Tues the 27th they started exterior assy...and here it is Friday and it's already dispatched from factory heading to port for it's Atlantic cruise. Four days and done.

Jmatte, that makes sense. Between the two week factory shut down and timing of your order, it would have taken them until first week in September to get started on your order. I know it’s hard to wait as I am excited to receive my car (hopefully in a month). Look on the bright side, you won’t have to deal with the head rest issue or have your car start production before a holiday break, stop, and resume after a break.

All will be well.
