I found out last week my build week is 18 but didn't see a support group and JMM71 suggested I create one so here it is.

Was wondering when this would show up. I'm still not showing a prodDate from the website, but tried emailing the genius email last week and was told week 18.
I've been 111 since 8th March and then moved to 112 7th April. I've been moving between Week 18 and Week 20 in that time but according to the UK Genius this morning I'm scheduled for Week 18. My order is for an M50.

Just adding that my order was made through my company car scheme on 5th January. So if mine does stick to Week 18 and assume 4 weeks after for delivery, that'll be 5 months from order-delivery.
Good job Aranimate. Just as a reference for others, my order was placed on 1st November 2022. So assuming things go to plan with Wk18 production, allowing a further 4Wk delivery period, that's 7months from order-delivery. 🤞
This is in the Chicago area, Illinois, U.S.:

Order placed - no allocations at the time, 1st on waitlist: ~2/22/23
Build number received, status 111: 3/27/23
Website updated to status 112: 4/7/23. Still no prodDate listed on site, Genius indicated Week of May 1st - Week 18, the same day.
You will get your prodDate when you get a VIN (status 150) and not before...

Gotcha, thank you for the clarification. Reviewing the 1-2 years worth of history on this forum, it isn't always clear what folks status is when they scrape that prodDate off the site -- I got the impression initially that once you had a production number and could access the site, that date might get populated.

You will have a planned week, but that can move all over the place (see my signature for an example!). Once you have a VIN, you'll get a prodDate, and that's locked for the most part. The only thing we've seen happen is for that to move over to the next day in a couple of cases or a hold up in QC.
Thanks for setting this up, OP, and hello everyone! I wanted to do it but not yet too familiar with this forum. I'm a long time bimmer fan and have been on bimmerpost, so still getting used to this forum.

I am in VA and here's my timeline:

4/1 - Order placed for eDrive35
4/3 - Order confirmed and production number given
4/7 - Status moved to 112, called Genius and they gave me week 18 build week
Now - Impatiently waiting for start of production.

Is anyone here doing PCD? I am 90% sure I am. I'm just worried if it adds too much extra wait time.

I seem to have been moved from Week 16 to Week 18. Hoping for the best.

Status 112. Possible I initially got misinformation about the build week being 16. But BMW Genius confirmed today that I am now Build Week 18.

My dealership is in Towson,MD

I also ordered my BMW I4 e35 on 4/1 and was given production number at that time
4/1 order date
4/3 order received
4/7 production scheduled
4/25 production started 😊
This is 1 week earlier than what BMW genius told me. They stated 18th week start date 5/3
