Spoke with a different BMW Genius today. It's no wonder the forums have conflicting information. FWIW
1. When I asked about how to determine the build week the BMW Genius said "most of them" find that using the weeks in Outlook are usually accurate unless the order is accelerated or delayed. I asked if there was a BMW system that shows the week and he said no. All he could see was that my order said, 2016 08 32 (YYYYMMWW)
2. The VIN is assigned once the car is in production, i.e. order status 150 not 112
3. The car is still modifiable until the order status is 150 but "harder for the CA to change". To me sounded like it involved phone calls and approvals.
4. The build week is the week the car build "starts" not ends.
Fun facts...based on this BMW Genius' experience...
1. Start of build to end of build ~ 1 1/2 weeks to 2 weeks, recently M cars are taking ~3 weeks (should not apply to M2 b/c of lack of variability) and ~4 weeks for orders with individual options
2. EOP to port ~1-2 days after that time is dependent on shipping company.
