OK, update! My vehicle (#2) went into production today! I think they don't want me in the loaner until October
Good info on the ED by the way guys. If I need a runaround 3 series that may be the way to go! |

If the answer is yes, I suggest you select option to talk to someone and get them to tell you the true status. I hope your wait is short!!!

My personal opinion is that your X6 is so stunning, they put it on display for a month

If you are already in the paint shop, based on my timeline you could be as short as a week away. Don't use Mac as a reference point. They secretly made his 7 times and sold the first 6 to China. Then I called Dominos in South Carolina and sent 100 pizzas with a note to park his for an extra month just to see if he could get the dealer to throw in the $100 rubber floor mats based on the wait.

I just called the 1800 number and they told me my car is scheduled to be completed by August 7, 2012. The weight for the production status was longer than the production being built! WTF? Anyway, I agree that they might save gas and ship them all at once. Maybe we'll see each other at Schomps! I can't wait for mine! First thing I'll do is driving it to 16th street mall!

I forgot to check last night. Baby Shower was a success! I'll check the door jam when I get home tonight.

That was their only X6 w/o Sports package so they wanted to admire the rims.. It looks like it was manufactured in June... Very strange that I picked at the end of July. Any possible explanations?

I bet your X6 was held up due to the power steering gear recall. Based on the info I received last month, BMW was awaiting confirmation from the manufacturer of the power steering gear that a snap ring was defective. BMW knew about the issue in June, however it took them until July to send out a formal recall notice. Your X6 was likely held up until BMW received confirmation. Either the ring was replaced on your X6 or it was confirmed that the part in your car was okay, hence the delay in your vehicle getting shipped to dealer. Have you received a recall letter? I bet the answer is no! Belle |

I did not received said letter. I think you are right. That was my initial thought, but My CA told me the hold up was only 3 days... due to the Steering. Maybe it was more like three weeks (smile). I like that hypothesis better than Brad's pizza theory (!)

Car is in stage 153, being assembled and the completion date is still today. Hope it gets done today, from what I hear stage 153 is a day process usually so the date sounds right.
