Today, after wondering why my status has been "order documented" (still to this day) I called BMW and they confirmed that my car isn't even scheduled until 3/9 to start production.

Am I missing something? Based on the OP's timeline I wont see this car until second week of May or so (I'm on the East Coast). And this is supposed to be their first car. I'm glad I don't have to wait as long as some of the people here are, but I would have thought that I'd be driving it before then. Were all the first allocation cars supposed to hit about the same time, or does the location/size of the dealer make a difference?
if it's any consolation, I am in the same boat down here in RI, #2 on the list, in the order bank, waiting for an allocation, fingers crossed it happens in early March. And yes, from start of build I am expecting it to take maybe 2 months to be in my hands, so just waiting it out. It takes what it takes I guess...
