Finally was able to get myself an allocation with the help of a member here! Week 38 as well. What's the best way to check on updates for the build?
My build: Alpine White Executive Package Apple Carplay 6MT |

Week 37 folks are starting to get some action with their orders. Also, MyBMW finally allows me to use production order# to update my vehicles. Still 111 status of course saying
"We are currently processing your order and will inform you once your BMW enters production. " |

Just thought I'd post this here for other week 38s to check. My car went status 150 yesterday and is supposed to finish production by the 9/11. A little early than scheduled.

Looks like I'm still scheduled for week 38. Called Genius but nothing really new. Will start production either at the end of this week or early next week. |

Same here - just called Special Sales & I got moved back from week 37 to 38 for ED the same week as you, 10/5. Our cars should start production sometime next week, at which point we'll get VINs.

Frustrating, because I've been week 37 all along, and mine is supposed to complete on 9/13. How the heck does someone who was originally scheduled to be after me suddenly get pushed ahead?

Sometimes I think all of this week "bumping" could be a result of Genius being very inconsistent in what they tell you on the phone. They continue to say that the build week is the week the car starts production - which we all know is wrong. |

I'm hopeful that my original ED could still be fulfilled, with a car fresh off the line on week 40, the first week of October, my original dates -- I won't hold my breath, but I am worried about getting all season tires. Anyone know when all season tires are no longer required for ED? Will I get CUP wheels if I do PD (in addition to ED)? My CA said when it comes off the boat, I'll get CUP wheels even if I get all season wheels at ED. I understand that ED beginning 10/15 require winter tires, so I'm tempted to just wait until after the fall / winter to guarantee CUP tires. Last edited by cornercase; 09-05-2017 at 11:03 PM.. |

Did you not get one of your ED dates approved? If you're doing ED the first week of October, your car should be starting production this week... What is a "CUP" wheel? All M2s come with summer tires - you have to rent all-season or winter tires if you do ED on an M2 from 10/15 to 4/15.

I'm hoping something starts this week and will call Genius again tomorrow. CUP -- I'm referring to the summer Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 -- my mistake, I misread and see they're now Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I fear that I'll be stuck with all season tires if I'm ED'd 10/15 or later. So it sounds like you're saying I only have to "rent" the all-seasons while in Germany? That sounds solid if I can still receive my car at PD / at the dealer with summer tires. |

I recommend calling BMW NA Special Sales (ED) in the morning (as early as 9am) rather than Genius, in order to figure out the situation: 1-800-932-0831. Your car will absolutely be shipped to the US with summer tires - it may be Contis rather than Michelin, but it will NOT ship with all-season tires. If you did ED after 10/15, you'd have to rent all-season or winter tires, but the summer tires would be refitted prior to shipment back to the US. So no worries there at least.

Although the date situation isn't ideal, I want to keep telling myself that I'm lucky to have an ED sticker order in the queue with the few options I requested: LBB, 6MT, Moonroof, Apple CarPlay, and UC+. One last question: my new CA tells me that $600 UC+ will be added to my order at the dealership when I get the paperwork done. Is this correct? I don't see it on my build sheet, but I thought I've seen it on other's build sheets. |

We're in week 36 now - is your car supposed to start in week 38, or start now and end in week 38?
