How long until status change?

I've been sitting in status 112 with comment of:
"Your vehicle has been scheduled for production with no production date" since 6/1. Just wondering if anyone can comment on how long they waited for a production date..

I placed order the sDrive35i on mid April, the dealer told me that the car will be on the early May production. Don't remember the exact date of in production but it is around mid early May. I can tell you that it will take about one week for production, 1 week for transport, about 2 wks plus for en route to your local preparation center and another week to the dealership.

However, I am still getting a kick out of checking 2 - 3 times daily at bmwusa.com.. My car is now at the preparation center and hopefully getting it another week or 2.

My issue is this whole "no production date"... does it stay that way until it goes into production or at some point will I get a "production date of X"? Even if it's a week or 2 out, I'd sure like a date...

okay, so I broke down and asked for a representative...

Long story short, I'm scheduled to build starting on 6/15.

All of you are so lucky that you can get exact build date and fast delivery. I have to wait 4-5 months. The only thing i know is mine is built on June. Place order on April and delivery will be on Aug/Sept

The truly sick thing about it is that as such "Spoiled Americans" even a 6-8 week wait seems just terrible! Too often we don't realize how luck we really are. Having lived outside of the country briefly, I try to remember that every day.

Good luck in your wait... We'll be here for you!

Not to digress from the topic, I am glad that you choose Z4 over SLk. I had leased a SLK350 with AMG appearance package for 3 years. The new Z4 have better overall better quality built feeling to it. It drives like a V8 because of the wide torque band. Not to mention saving you thousands on maintenance.

DDS246, I agree totally... I too am glad I didn't buy it. It just didn't feel as "right" as the Z4 did. There was too much missing. And at that price, I don't want to be missing anything or wanting for more (for a long time).

So back on topic, I called last week and production was to start today. Just called the 800# and heard the sweetest words of the day "Production has started with an anticipated completion date of 6/19"... =) That'll get me through the day!

It usually takes two weeks to one month for status change... me thinks it really depends on the car and its availability...

I don't know what the car or "availability" would have to do with it as this is a build we're talking about, not waiting on the lot..

Looks like it takes about 2 weeks though from order until build starts unless you end up being one of the lucky ones that get a car right as it starts production.
