Conception! I'm still at 112 for my week 37 car but maybe it'll start tomorrow or Friday; no worries anyway since I got 10/5 ED date confirmed.

I'm anxiously checking MyBMW and the Production Status phone number but mine is still no production date...

Finally, as of this morning:
Phone line says estimated completion date of 09/13. I guess it started yesterday, because my CA told me on Tuesday that it still hadn't started production, and the website and automated phone line is known to be slightly out of sync. 2 weeks for an estimated build would put the start date as yesterday as well.

Also confirmed it started production yesterday, so it's fair to say that the website and automated phone line are behind by only 1 day currently.

Just shot an e-mail off to my CA to see if he can give me my VIN so I can figure out how much the insurance is gonna hurt. I'd be willing to bet I get mine before you though, since I will probably deliver into Baltimore... unless they actually ship even further up the Great Lakes and deliver by boat up here? (doubt it if they only have one pre-delivery center on the East coast though)

I got bumped back a week - supposed to start sometime in week 36 now, which is next week, so I guess that makes me a week 38 finish.

I used to feel bad for people getting bumped down, and envious of people getting bumped up, but I think I see a pattern emerging here...
Those that have PCD or ED have a scheduled appointment date for that, and may get bumped up or down to ensure that they meet that date. Most other people, including me, seem to have not moved and production started and estimated completion date are all as predicted once we place the order with the allocation.

Looks like my M2 started production yesterday, estimated completion 9/16.

Finally, car started production this morning! It's estimated to finish on 9/18... so I guess now I'm technically scheduled to finish Monday of week 38.
I'm in California..... so I guess this means I won't get the car until around... Thanksgiving?

My estimated completion date is 09/13, and the following boats are scheduled to leave after that: 15-Sep --- 12-Oct --- Morning Courier --- WWL 20-Sep --- 22-Oct --- Marguerite Ace --- MOL 21-Sep --- 17-Oct --- Equuleus Leader --- NYK 26-Sep --- 22-Oct --- Don Carlos --- WWL 28-Sep --- 26-Oct --- Clover Ace --- MOL 29-Sep --- 26-Oct --- Tortugas --- WWL BMW apparently prefers to use WWL, and it's unlikely I'd make the Morning Courier, so the safer bet would be the Don Carlos, leaving 09/26, and arriving in CA on 10/22. I don't have any port installed options, and my dealer (yours too @just blaze) is the second closest dealership to the port. I'd estimate 3 days from there, which would have me taking delivery on the week of 10/23 ~ 10/27. If I make the Morning Courier, or the MOL or NYK ships following that, it should be even earlier. My CA predicted the week of 10/16 ~ 10/20 when I placed my order, though obviously didn't guarantee that. He might end up being correct though!

Ends up my production started on 8/31 as well. First new BMW, and I won't tell you how long it took to get an allocation.
Can't wait for it to roll into storage for the winter... |

Taking the information from the sticky: -Build finish (155) to Scheduled for Carrier (182): 1 day.You can calculate a worst case situation of 18 days from completion to sailing, and a best case of 8 days. If you complete on 9/18, then 8 days would be 9/26, 18 days would be 10/6. For a completion on 9/13 (my car's estimate), puts me some time between 9/21 and 10/1. The biggest variable in this is the time it takes to get from status 193 to 195, and that depends on when your car gets to the dock, how busy it is, and when the next boat leaves. Based on these dates, I think there's a high chance I'll be on the Don Carlos, and there is a lower chance that you will be. As has been seen in some of the earlier week 3x threads, some people have finished production first, and ended up taking a boat later than others that finished production after them. In this case, I guess it's caused by a delay in moving from 182 to 193.
