Congrats!

 

Great news! Week 11.....is that in about 4 weeks?

I called Genius yesterday and they said that mine won't be ready (complete off assembly) till Week 19 (2nd week of May).

Same timing as yours (Early June / Early Nov.).

Going to be helpful to know when yours rolls off the line...

 

By my count, week 11 is the week of March 14th. Happy to be corrected if someone knows different.

I'll continue to update this post as the build moves.

Yes that’s correct. We are currently week 8, mine should be build finished week 9 with week 12 delivery🤞

 

Was told by BMW Genius that our build was scheduled for week 11. Checked My BMW today and it is now showing Scheduled for Production (112)!

I was also scheduled for week 11. Then last Friday I saw I was also scheduled for production. So I called the genius line and asked if I had been moved up. They said I was now scheduled for week 12. Every time prior to the actual scheduling was considered by BMW to be a ballpark, not an exact date. Once they have you scheduled, call again to verify, and you can rely on that week as your build week.

 

Thanks for the advice @dspevack. I just got off the line with Genius and they confirmed the week 11 schedule. Not too long for us now!

 

Mine should aslo be build week 9 and delivery week 11 .. fingers crossed all

Reservation made early June 2021
Pre-Order early November 2021

UPDATE:
Giving more specifics on my timeline - hoping to help others gauge their process.

Jun 1 - Pre-order placed/deposit paid
Jun 9 - Pre-order confirmation number received from BMW
Nov 18 - Time to build/configure email received from BMW
Nov 20 - Configuration complete with dealer
Dec 16 - Received production number from dealer
Dec 16 - Status 111 Order Accepted at AG
January - BMW Genius gives week 11 production estimate
Feb 23 - Status 112 Scheduled for Production

Feb23?

 

I'm not sure your question... Feb 23 was the date my build status moved to 112 Scheduled for Production.

 

I'm happy for you, but these schedules are all over the place with seemingly no rhyme or reason. My pre-order was 6/1/21, but I'm holding firm at bld week 14 still, as of call to genius line yesterday.

Nov 19 - Configuration complete with dealer
Jan 15 - Received production number from dealer, only because I asked after seeing others on the forum.
Dec 28 - MY BMW Status Order Received
January - BMW Genius gives week 14

I agree with you that the schedules seem random in some aspects - this is why I thought posting my schedule as it happens might help solve the riddle. I'm not sure if some of it is down to the timeliness of dealers to process???

When do you think you will get it?
Mine just recently got changed from week 5 to week12.

 

OH NO! Was there any explanation on the reason for the change? 1-2 weeks up or down happens, but 7 weeks is significant. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this.

My best guess is a mid to late April delivery. Waiting on @gsbaker and others to receive theirs so I can try to gauge.

I have a similar timeline. Also scheduled for Week 11 and saw my status went into "Scheduled for Production" last week

 

People, please remember the concepts involved in delivery. They want to build cars that they can get out to customers quickly.
For example.
I'm BMW and I need to get 1000 cars to the port to be loaded on the 1st and the 15th of each month.
Shipping company calls and says on the ship that loads on the 1st I only have room for 800 cars.
Or the shipping company calls and says, due to port congestion our ship will be delayed by a week returning to port for the next load.
I'm not going to make the extra 200 cars to be sitting at the port for an extra two weeks waiting the ship that loads on the 15th, and I'm not going to be making the cars to sit at the port waiting for the delayed ship. Instead I'm going to be making the cars that go to overland carriers or different ships. So that delays build week.
I'm not saying this is what happens all the time. And sometimes delays can't be avoided. I'm just saying that time is money and it costs $ to have cars sitting around, so it pays to shift production schedules to match distribution schedules.

Dan,

I thought the same about cars sitting in port, and argued the same point that they should optimize the land transport to match the ships.

However after talking to the genius an number of times and really pushing them as to why they can't predict the shipping schedule, and all I got is that BMW expects ships to sit in the port for 1-3 weeks.

And looking at shipping schedules, I see potential ships leaving today, then March 6, 11, 12. So I could have a really long wait.

Just checked my local dealer's site, they have two i4 in Arriving Soon status. I'll finally be able see the car in person and hopefully test drive it.

 

Are you near a BMW center that will have an unveiling event? Maybe the i4s 'Arriving Soon' are for the event. I wouldn't get hopes up on a test drive...but kudos if you do manage it!

 

My journey looks about the same (Wisconsin, USA)

Jun 26 - Pre-order placed/deposit paid
Jun 28 - Pre-order confirmation number received from BMW
Nov 21 - Configuration complete with dealer
Dec 15 - Status 111 Order Accepted at AG
Feb 28 - Status 112 Scheduled for Production
Feb 28 - Week 12 (March) Build scheduled (confirmed with BMW Genius phone call)

Exciting!

So now I wait for week of build message I guess? Exciting!

We're getting there...slowly but surely.

I called the BMW Genius line to get the production week. I think your dealer may be able to tell you as well. If you call the Genius line, have you production number handy.

 

Thanks for all this info. I pre-ordered mine in the first hour it was open this summer. Yet, I'm week 13 build. The BMW genius say that meant production starting end of March. My dealer had told me that my production would begin 3/13/22 -- so not too far off what the genius said.

I'm getting the M50 in Brooklyn Grey.

 

I'm not sure when you last checked the timing, but you might consider calling again. There is an article on another post regarding an anticipated closing of the Munich plant due to the Ukraine conflict. Today my dealer confirmed a move to week 12...hoping that get into production before major delays.

 

My status just changed to “Scheduled for Production” today! Got my production number (“Order Received”) on April 4th, and now on April 20th it is scheduled. I guess I need to call the genius line now for an estimate on the completion week? Is that what you guys are doing?

 

At the rate I’m going, although I’m one step ahead, I’ll bet you beat me to the finish line.

 

From my limited experience about a week from 'scheduled for production' to ' Production begins' (which is really just getting the parts lined up). Then another 2 weeks until fabrication actually starts (exterior assembly begins).

Your account seems to match more of what I’m experiencing. Yet I’ve read other accounts where from production begins to completion is just a matter of days. Who knows, it seems like there’s an infinite number of permutations.

 

Are you on the east coast or west coast? We are on the west coast and I am told that it can take a few more weeks to get the car here. Fingers crossed. BMW genius told me that the exterior build starts on 8/9.

 

We are in FL. Best of luck - we are enjoying ours very much!

 

Couple of questions... My order (2023 BMW M4 Comp XI with individual BRG, carbon everything, carbon buckets), said scheduled for production, not its back to "order received"..... WHAT????? What is the "Genius" you all keep speaking about? Thanks... MT

 

Until you have a VIN, you don't have a real date. Back to "Order Received" means they've moved you out of the production queue for the moment. It's likely you'll move back in, but please place no value on a production week while in Scheduled for Production; it means nothing! Until you have a VIN, you're not real.
