Looks like a red one down the line a ways also. I have never seen any BMW production facility though I'd like to. Do they run a bunch of one color thru the paint shop at the same time? Just curious. Mine was built this week. Now the wait for it to get to the West coast. Cheap

Cheap, I think they do run batches of color's through the paint shop.One of the big parts of the new plant expansion,is an increase in the area where BMW stores painted bodies.I think they can then build up an inventory of certain colors,and then pull that color off the shelf,so to speak,when an order comes in for a certain color.Maybe BMWMC knows a little more about this.Thanks!

Some of the production plants of BMW in Europe are able to produce different models from the same line. A 5 series comes out , then a 3 series and etc.

No. They run whatever sequence the vehicle is in. For instance, if the first three orders were red, then they are red. If they fourth one is white, then its white. They are built by production numbers!!

BMWMC you seem to know whats up. Does my car go to the VPC across the street next, if it was built yesterday? How long after that does it go on the truck to be shipped? Last but not least do you know how long the truck takes to get to the west coast! I have a Vegas road trip planned for last weekend of this month. Would love to drive the new ride. Cheap
