Production number is passé. Post when you get your new VIN Number
Production numbers were a milestone during preorder.
Now they are usually available within a few weeks of order.
The real sign of progress is when you get your VIN#.
Then you know production is imminent!
In the USA it will show up in "My Garage".
I would assume that you get it from your genius or dealer in other countries that don't have My Garage.
I'm still a few weeks out (week 11) so my VIN isn't in yet, but we are now completing production week #4, and some of you early adopters should be seeing progress soon.

the chassis number is only assigned when the car is already in production. to be more precise, when the body is taken from the warehouse (bmw always keeps about 100 bodies in stock, sorted according to with and without a sunroof - right-hand and left-hand drive doesn't matter at this point) and before they are painted.
this ensures that
1. the car is connected to the right customer and his order and thereby
2. the car is painted correctly
3. the right motor is installed
at least that was explained to me during a factory tour in regensburg.
Wann wird die Fahrgestellnummer vergeben? - BMW-Treff
Hallo habe Heute mit meinem :) telefoniert, er sagt, mein Einser habe schon eine Fahrgestellnummer bekommen. Was bedeutet das in der Produktion? Steht dieser Vorgang zu Beginn oder am Ende des Produktionsprozesses? Wir das Auto bald gebaut, oder…

Yeah I don't know...I pre-ordered 7/20 and my order was done early December and I still don't have a production number.Available within a few weeks of order? What? I ordered in September and still no production number.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: The power of wishful thinking!Production numbers were a milestone during preorder.

Maybe I did jump the gun a bit. I thought the delays were primarily because production numbers weren't assigned until after the pre-order phase was complete, and now people were getting production numbers quicker. I guess I was wrong.
You can tell I'm excited to see things move forward.

Yeah, good luck with that. Most of us have not received a production # regardless of when we ordered.Available within a few weeks of order? What? I ordered in September and still no production number.

I'll be a lot happier, once I have that Vin hehe
Well, GS Baker (Gas Saving Baker?) was the first of our North American flock to get his VIN.
Who's next?

I'm anxious for my VIN. I'm week 14, so my VIN will be many painful weeks from now. Congrats to those have been fortunate enough to have them. This has been nerve racking. I've never waited this long for a car I spec'd and ordered.
Mines at build week 5 .from what I understand the Vin isn't provided till its almost stamped on the car.I'm anxious for my VIN. I'm week 14, so my VIN will be many painful weeks from now.
