how long from when your dealer placed to order to when it went into production?

My order just went in today (got the production number). when i logged in, there was no estimated production week (guessing since its still too new), but wanted to try and get a guesstimate on time.

Ask your dealer to tell you what build slot week you got and you'll know exactly when it will go into production. Sometimes they even start a little earlier than your scheduled build week.

Congrats on the order. Just picked mine up yesterday. Just a thought since it's a lighter colour, you might want to see if you'd like the satin roof rails better than the black. I know on my TiAg they work out perfectly as they blend in better.

Nice! My dealer placed the order on May 27th and it went into production on June 20th. The website didn't even recognize my production order number until around June 15th. The Thrill has it right about asking your dealer what build slot you got.

At least you're in Tennessee. Mine needs to be shipped all the way to CA.

I actually like the black roof rails, as it matches the shadowline trim on the windows...plus I plan on getting the Performance Grills when they are released to tie in all the gloss black trim.

With all of that it makes sense to keep the black theme for sure.

My dealer was able to flip a current allocation they had for my X3. I went in to place the order June 6, it took him a week or so to sort it out, and I had my production number June 17th. Scheduled completion is June 29th.

nice, thanks for the info.

i talked to my dealer and they told me the slot week is end of July. Was hoping I'd luck out like you did and get something from the current allocation, but looks like i'm back at the end of the line!

Too bad stupid MyBMW site is down. I liked seeing that status bar on the tracking menu. Now I just get to call the 800 number and listen to the same message.

Taking advantage of the Drive for Team USA event....although sometimes I wonder if the wait is worth the $1000 credit.
