Having been through the plant tour several times, I have not seen a pattern to production order. I don't think its RHD, vs LHD, and definitely not by color. Although they do batch painting by color to some degree.

Right and left hand drives are definitely mixed on the production line. Every vehicle has specific options pop up on a large screen at each spot on the assembly line and the parts are delivered to match. Colors are also mixed in the line.

I wonder how long it will take to go from "Finishing Touches" to "At My Dealer" -- BMW Confirmed it is en route to California....

I did work in a car factory long time ago, batches go per color and also depend on available materials from third party suppliers (like rims, tires/sizes etc).
Concerning tracking the VIN, has anyone outside USA been able to track the production process of their car through any side?
