Yes, I have had a production number for 3 weeks. I appreciate the feedback.

I ordered my X3 on 8/20 and loaded the order number into the tracker website that weekend and it showed scheduled for production. I was told that it was a week 37 build. Now the tracker shows order received and was told it is now a week 41 build. The dealer said other orders got pushed to October as well.

I hate to say that I went for all the options and it took 21 days from order to delivery! Guessing I was lucky.

This is pretty funny, try getting a Ford Bronco which is probably 1+ Years to get. I ordered a Ford Maverick which will be at least 4-5 months and people bitching about 2-3 months.

We have almost the exact same situation happening as @08-335xi

Dealer re-configured their next in line X3 30i which was originally scheduled for September. I watched him do it and he showed me the 112 status. I then started tracking it on the BMW website and it said Scheduled for Production. A few days later it went back to "Order Received."

My wife called BMW last week and I believe they told her it was pushed to October. No idea what it is now. We're not really in a rush since we have an extra car to drive, but waiting does suck.

For reference, here are the packages/options we picked:

Most production numbers will begin with 48 right now as that's 4.8 million etc. The VINs are typically assigned in order of production. Most VINs on dealer lots right now are 25,XXX or below. Mine, for example, is 50,XXX.

Congratulations. Would you be interested in sharing your selections to see if there are differences in the options we picked?

So assume it will be January then, since you probably don’t want it delivered in December, right?

My 22 X3 M40i was ordered on 8/20 and is listed as " order received status" with no firm production date on the tracking website. I was told today by the BMW genius rep that it will be scheduled for production week of 10/4. Not sure if that is the week it will finally be placed in schedule, or the week that production will actually begin. It sounds like a November delivery either way.

I had another dealer check with the factory today and there is supposedly a limited supply of shadowline trim components and certain wheel options. They did not state which wheel(s) were in limited supply as the wheels I selected were not an issue (standard M40i w/AS tires). I would not take this as gospel since I did not hear it directly from the factory, but the dealership did say that if I wanted to order with them and change trim that it would move the start of production up substantially.

That's interesting that shadowline would be slowing production. What interior trim option did you go with?

That's really odd because your order isn't that different than mine other than I did black vernasca. Sensatec shouldn't cause delays since that's standard. I'm curious what item is truly causing your delay.

Priority 1?

I am trying to find out if it is one specific option I chose that is causing the delay as I am open to some changes if needed, but have not heard back yet.

Has anyone else had to change options or were made aware of a specific shortage or is this the current norm?
Chiming in late here... Do you know what priority your build was entered as? I know that if a build was entered as Priority 1 it is because a customer has a deposit on it. The car is essentially sold. Back in March, my build finished in a month. I was entered as Priority 1. Is it possible that your build was not switched to Priority 1 when you took it over from the dealer?

My order was marked as sold by the dealer, which I was able to confirm with the Genius line. I am not sure if that makes it priority 1 or not. They did not require a deposit as I have bought multiple vehicles from them. I halfway wonder if it is the hitch option that is causing the delay, but have to go by what the dealer is telling me.
