Calling all Week 43 Builds

Hey fellow week 43'ers. Some of us are in production as of today and others are not. I'm interested in seeing if we can learn a bit more about how BMW goes about staging production. If you are a week 43'er, please post here with your color, where your car is shipping to, and options. I'd like to see if things are grouped. For example, all LBB cars started production a Tuesday.

Yes, I obviously have nothing better to do at the moment which means my week 43 is still not in production as of today! Has!

Here's my details:

Build Week - 43
Color - MG
Trans - 6MT
Option - Exec
Destination - Seattle
Status - 112 as of 10/14

Just got word the word today! Couldn't be more excited!

My details:

Color - LBB
Trans - 6MT
Option - Exec Package + CarPlay
Destination - New York
Status - 150 as of 10/14/16

Strange though. There might be something to this. I was expecting a later date and and was pleasantly surprised when I called BMW Genius, just for the hell of it. Called my CA to verify and he confirmed! 150 status!

Hmmm, OK, so as of Monday AM, there goes my theory that all the MG cars were getting painted last. We have 3 MG and 2 LBB in status 112. 1 MG and 1 LBB in 150.

BishUK, I don't know what to tell you on your status 5055. That's a new one on me.

5055? Interesting.

I just called Genius and confirmed. The vehicle entered production last Friday at 5:41am EST actually, and I got a VIN number. Estimated to finish production next Thursday apparently.

In the UK we are not lucky enough to be able to track the life of our builds like you guys, so have to keep ringing the dealer and for dealer to send screen grab of their internal systems. Mine went from status 5000 "Planned for Assembly" to status 5055 "Confirmed by Production Control" last Friday.

Seems there's an explanation to 5055 status hanging around in an old M5 thread on this forum:

Status "5055" usually means your car will be finished in around 7 days, but maybe less. My M5 started build 2 days after 5055, and took 2 days to complete. It is a date that all suppliers of parts for your car must work to/from... BMW use something called 'Just In Time'.

Example: your car moves to the work station for the dash to be installed, and your dash is delivered by lift to that work station at exactly the point in time it is needed. So work backwards and there is a certain time it must be started to be made. All of this is based on the 5055 code the factory told me.

Congrats! Me too!

Mine started production this morning. Such a relief. All these week 43 guys getting their cars underway while I just sat there waiting. It was like 5th grade gym class all over again, waiting to get picked for dodgeball.

I got an email from my CA this morning. My LBB went into production earlier today! He's estimating it would be at their dealership towards the end of November.

Nice list. Not a black-out kind of guy, myself, and going to go with Dinan for my exhaust like I did with my E36 M3, but otherwise similar list. If you are trying to tighten up the whole clutch experience, think about an Ultimate Clutch Pedal kit. I've already bought the UUC SSK, but that won't shorten or stiffen the clutch travel, which I at least find to be too long and too easy. So I have a UPC kit. Also have ordered a sport-catted Fabspeed downpipe. Picked up some stainless steel brake lines as well for the track next summer. Will install all that stuff right away, then consider my options for a turbo/FMIC/tune upgrade when they are more fully developed... and suspension tweak--at least some H&R or Eibach springs, maybe a full coilover.

Tweaking cars is at least half the fun of owning them

Where did you find the CF handbrake for a manual M2? Is it matte, like the rest of the interior CF? I see it in a kit from IND, but that's for the DCT, I think...
