I check daily because I'm not scheduled to go into production until April 19 (getting an individual color pushed me from March 10 to April 19). I finally went into "scheduled for production" status (112 status).
My first F80 I hyper stalked and even paid $30 for a satellite subscription to track the Thalatta (the vessel I was on) across the Atlantic. Based on monitoring which ships were in and out of port I was actually able to figure out which ship I was on 3 days before Bmw Genius had the info.... Once it was on the boat, I used the satellite subscription to check its speed every hour for weeks..... I learned quite a bit about myself as a person throughout this experience.

So, that additional two months for the paint was all prior to production? Once it goes into production it goes normal speed? Mine started production a few days ago |

Once production started, because I wanted to document each step, I checked morning and evening especially because of the time difference. There were days where I moved, two steps at once.

EDIT: I checked with a client of mine who supplies BMW and Munich actually runs 3 shifts 5 days week. Of course minus holidays, and Germany has loads of those.

Sure, I'm keeping track of my progress as well and check several times a day to see if I've moved to the next dot, but I can only document that 2 things happened in 1 day so I only need to check once a day for documentation purposes.

I checked mine when I got up this morning and nothing had changed. I checked it again a couple hours later and it changed to production begins!!!!!! So yes check it often and every hour lol as I am now going to stalk it even more now. Looks like it's going to be earlier than originally expected to which is a plus.
So got my production number March 8th. March 12th it was scheduled for production and now March 22nd production begins. Awesome! |

Hopefully once it gets off of the "production begins" status things will move along quickly. I feel your pain though as it can be agonizing checking and no movement lol. But hey were getting there bud and were much closer now than most and where we were a month ago. We'll have these dudes by May hopefully right in the peak of nice weather. |

EDIT: I couldn't wait til after work. They tell me completion date scheduled for 3/29 which includes the individual paint. I asked and she checked and said they do detour it off the line for the painting and then 'quickly' back on to it.

Do build dates move up often?
I just got my allocation over the weekend and scheduled for a week of May 16th build. Obviously I'm not expecting a miracle and for it to move into production in the next week or two but would it be reasonable that it could potentially move into production sometime in late April instead? And to confirm, the May 16th week is the week it should finish production versus starting if I've read the various tracking threads correctly?

Mine was in Entering Assembly Line yesterday and switched to Quality Check this morning. In the last hour or so, it went from Quality Check to Awaiting Carrier Assignment in the last hour. My production completion date is March 23rd so perhaps tomorrow it will switch to Dispatched from Factory.
