BMW Production - Ahead of Schedule

My X5 was to be a week 12 (3/21) build and actually went into production on Monday status 150 and is now in the paint shop status 152 as of this afternoon! Sounds to me they are really cranking things up! I might see my X5 by a week from Saturday in my driveway!

Which dealer in NJ? My X5 is due for completion on Monday 3/21. Dealer expects to see it by Thursday. What color combo and options?

Completion by Monday and in NJ by Thursday? Wow. .that seems pretty fast.

I used Prestige BMW in Mahwah (rt17). Space Gray/black leather... My S.A is on vacation until Friday. I will check with him to see when he expects it in.

I called this morning and the vehicle is in transit to the dealer. You might see your X5 by this Friday also.

Looks like BMW is 2 weeks ahead of schedule because week 13 started yesterday and production has started on my 2012, it was supposed to be a week 15 build(April 11th).
I'm thrilled to say the least

How did you find out about your production schedule? I can't find anything on their website. Thanks in advance!

Ask your CA for the production week. They know that information just like after your vehicle is built and released to the carrier they can track it using speednet which is BMW's tracking portal for transportation.

I ordered my vehicle on 2/19 with a build allocation for week 12 (3/21) and vehicle went into production on 3/15 and finished on 3/22 and released to carrier and to my dealer in NJ on the morning of 3/25.

Sounds like BMW NA is definitely trying to make the masses custom order all their vehicles by ramping up production times!

Congrats on the new ride!

Also ask your CA for production number as well as production week. Once you get your production number, go on Bmwusa.com and make an account if you don't already have one, then just go to production status on the left once you are logged in. Enter your production number and it should tell you everything you want to know.

Also you can call BMW NA and they can do it over the phone. Over the phone they can tell you when the estimated completion date is, I think they just say a week from when production starts.

I picked mine up on Monday as well.

Can't get over how clear the NAV screen is. Also love the iphone integration.

Years ahead of my E53.
