Still 3-5 days from status 150 (Production started). When it hits 150 you'll get a VIN.

E24 · 12-08-2005, 10:36 PM

so - what's the wait time from 112 to 150? - from your experience...

Carl · 12-08-2005, 10:44 PM

Ordered on 10/25 --- do you know your production week?

E24 · 12-08-2005, 10:50 PM

7 days.

I would guess that your car will go 150 on Monday, Dec. 12th.

I have no idea what those numbers mean... but it sounds like your car will be produced soon! Congrats!

ya, like ledzep said, no clue what the numbers mean but congrats on getting your bmw.

I thought for awhile, that was your fastest speed on the autobahn. I would have said, "go out, and try again"

Being a realist- when does this vehicle most likely arrive at my Georgia dealership for delivery? I'm talking ball park here. Thanks.

Well, if it gets on a ship to Charleston shortly after production is completed, I'd guess within 3 weeks from the ship date.

I'd venture to say that you will be driving it by the 1st of Feb.

Thanks for the information. I don't know what I like best - choosing the vehicle you want; the options/color decision process; the shopping of dealers; the actual ordering; the anticipation waiting for your car; or when you finally take delivery.

After delivery it's all downhill - back to the drawing board and deciding what will be the next best replacement

It's an addiction - that's for sure. Just ask my wife. I tell her it's cheaper than a country club membership and playing golf on the weekends. There are worse hobbies to have.
