Order Experiences
There's a thread that combines "prices paid" and "order experiences." I thought I'd start one specific to orders. What was the time frame from when you placed the order, until you got a production number, VIN, saw the order enter production, etc?
Any order cancellation stories? How did it go if you made changes to the order early on? I placed an order here in LA last Saturday, 9/22, sDrive 28i, Ultimate, lighting, H/K. Have had no updates to the order since. Am beginning to wonder if allocations remain tight and it will be quite a while before my order enters production, let alone makes it to Port Hueneme...Christmas? |

We had a production order number a day after we placed the order. If the timing is right the dealer is able to grab a car that is already scheduled for production and change it being your own personal production car. I think the status is called scheduled for daily. This allows your car to go into production a little sooner.
From the time we got the production order number to the time it went into being built status was about 5 days. Car was completed about 6 days later and at the port awaiting a ship about 3-4 days after that. I would think you should have a production order number from your CA by now. On both cars i've had ordered I had one within a day or two of putting money down. On my last car I wanted to change the interior color from black to saddle and was told it would delay my order by a week or two. |

Same Day
Ordered 9/27/12 - the dealer went into the database and snagged a production scheduled vehicle that was close to my spec and tagged it - then changed the spec for minor details like paint, trim, etc. Same day; got the production number as well as a manufacturing commit for week 41. (week of 10/8/12)
