Yes. Last Wednesday my salesman called me with it.

What do you think about also providing the state in which you reside? It would be interesting to see which states are getting productions and how it develops over time. With the odd ED arrangement, I believe it still depends on where your dealer is located. Thanks.

gazz · 03-12-2011, 08:56 PM

What is the first digit of your number? This is apparently the build month. I.e. first digit 4, as mine is, signifies April.
I have heard though that having a production number is not an assurance of a production allocation as it can be changed.

If that is accurate, then it is not accurate every where.

gazz · 03-12-2011, 09:36 PM

Red135 - Can you elaborate on your comment re accuracy. Either you know it is accurate or it isn't. I don't know either way. I can only go off what I see in these forums and what my dealer tells me. Neither of which is reliable. The dealer says that BMW in Germany is in control of production. So if they want to change production for a customer who hasn't received an actual allocation in production they will. You will simply be given a new production number.

Once again, the production number explanation info...proof, you guys apparently know more than my dealer as he swears it'll be built next month and I'll have it in May. Oh well, as long as I get one.

He said people have been calling him for weeks now trying to get on the list and when he tells them they are so far only getting one allocation, they ask how they can bump #1 (me) off the list... getting ruthless out there

Congratulations. I had heard that BMW of Alexandria had been allocated one car from the April production, and that it's the only mid-Atlantic dealer to have gotten an allocation. I'm #1 at BMW of Charlottesville and hoping that get one soon!

Black Saffire: 6606135 from South Bay BMW, Torrance, CA

Dealer emailed us Friday that the car finished production and he would let us know what ship it was on when he got the info.

As a side note, when you get the VIN you know the car is for real

Thanks Neil, I hope you're right and good luck on your allocation as well. I'll feel better when I get a VIN, which supposedly I'll have this coming week... we'll see

So that is two people whose prod number has a 6 as the first digit and their car wasn't built in June.

Euro Delivery?

Easy for us in England, we just drive home and take the channel tunnel, but how does it work you chaps over the pond? Is it expensive?

(Sorry for being off topic).

Ah, if only it were that simple!

I wanted to do ED but it's not available in UK. Government or TAX BS.

Euro delivery is not available all the time on all models. Sometimes euro delivery is available with not discount and sometimes the vehicle is available at a discount. In the case of the 1m their is a discount iand that amount is $3180. The buyer picks up the vehicle in Germany and has up to 6 months to send the vehicle to a US location to receive it. The euro delivery price includes two weeks of auto insurance. Any additional time for insurance must be purchased. The buyer pays their own way to get to Germany to pick up the vehicle. After the buyer drops the vehicle off in germany, the vehicle is delivered to the U.S. in the same fashion as if the buyer simply purchased the vehicle in the U.S.

blueshark · 03-14-2011, 06:48 AM

M3 Adjuster,
Great explanation - thanks.

I hope you're wrong about allocations. I'm right behind you at #2 at BMW of Alexandria and my salesman called me on Friday to tell me mine is now scheduled for April production which should lead to a May delivery at the Performance Center in SC.

hlmiii · 03-15-2011, 06:51 AM

Production Number received about a month ago.
VIN received about 3 weeks ago.
Production finished 3/12
As of 3/14/11 "Status: 190 - Dispatched From Ag"

That's great news! I too hope you're right. I'm working with Percy Covington...I wonder if all the sales guys are on the same sheet of music. Anyway, I'm doing SC delivery as well, hope to see you there
