Help with Production Weeks

So I ordered my 228i exactly 2 weeks ago on 2/26 and was told it's scheduled for week 14. Is that the schedule of arrival at the dealer, finishing being built, or what?

it's the week of the year when it will start production.... 14th week starts March 31st so your car should be in the US around mid May

Thanks for the help! And that's disappointing, this is my first BMW, but why would it take 4.5 weeks after the order being placed just to start? And I'm a priority 1. I've seen posts on Bimmerpost freaking out that it hasn't started by 2 weeks.

cause your dealer doesn't have any other available allocation as they get 1 or 2 a month... If it were other are like a 3 series where there are not limited allocations it would have started a few days after you ordered

I'm sure this question has been beaten to death but would it be too late at the Moment to change packages or add options? I regret not adding the m sport line with the m sport brakes

You should still be able to change packages or add options. I changed mine many times with the last time being on Monday, March 10. I got my VIN# on Wednesday, March 12. My car is scheduled to be built next week (Week 12).

Did you order through Steve in Mildenhall?

I went with Radley. I was able to change it thanks! I can't stand stock brakes , I prefer the m sport line than a premium package I don't know what I was thinking when I first asked for that build.He's trying to push it to be built at the end if this month or possibly week 12 as we'll and deliver date around end of April or so . Would love to have it by the time I get back from leave

For me it took a little under a month from the time my order was placed to when production was finished. It's currently sitting at port in Germany waiting for a ship.

I put in a order request 2/24, production number was received 3/14. They told me week 14 at first as well, but now the production date is week 19 (first week of may). I'm also priority 1... but the suspension is killing me.

maybe you got screwed :-( ... they should have given you the prod# when you posted the order....

they might have moved you and gave the other allocation to somebody else...
Seems a bit weird cause 228s are not as high demand as the 235s...

Is that dealer very small?

as big as any dealer in ohio, lol. dealer said he would still try to expedite it, so maybe I won't have to wait 3 months.

ok...

there is really not much they can do apart from setting the order to sold (priority 1) for that specific order..... unless they trade an allocation with some other dealer and then you get a earlier allocation...

In any case... good luck...

Mine is set to priority 1, customer sold. At this point, it just sits in the order bank until an allocation is available for the dealer? Not sure how this works.

I was told the allocation wasn't based on time or anything, that they weren't sure when they would get one.

So, right now, I'm kinda like just sitting here with no clue when anything will happen.
