Ah, I was referring to the post from here: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1811516

I guess it's outdated, do you have an updated list of statuses?

Install this chrome extension and run it on the tracking page - https://chromewebstore.google.com/de...fpfon?hl=en-US

It will give you a different view into your status and status number. It looks like things may have changed a bit since that thread

Yup, I use that. Says the same. I don't think it's possible for paint booth before exterior body assembly as you suggested.

Status Code: 151

Status Description: Exterior body assembly begins
Your BMW is taking shape. Exterior body construction has begun.

You're absolutely right! Totally got my wires crossed...my bad brother. I just entered 153, took about a day and a half to go from 151 to 153. Was in paint for less than 24 hours

Yep, just went to the paint booth myself, from body assembly this morning.

All good!

Good to know it took a day and a half - not sure if the factory remains open over the weekend.

Really hoping I can get delivery before Nov 3rd as I'm going on a trip that day.

Went to paint booth this morning.

I’ve been a day behind you on all the updates and and in the paint shop since Friday afternoon. Hoping I make it to QC tomorrow.

Great to see all this movement!

I'm in the paint booth as of this morning.

Me too. What is your production completion date in the tracking tool?

[m3apm]

I'm also stuck on 150, but my production date isn't till 9/24 so I am only expecting movement around the 21st lol.

I am week 39, already in 150 and my production complete date is 25/9. I think you are in week 39 as well. Not in 38

I was originally told by the genius I’m week 38 so I started this thread, then even when I called couple days ago they said I was week 38.

But clearly not, like you mentioned haha. 9/24 is a week 39 build.

They said I was week 37 with a build date of 9/16 too (which is really 38) with virtually no movement till the week before. I was stuck in 150 purgatory for quite some time...id venture to guess youre a week 39'er at this point regardless of what genius told you.

Yah that totally makes sense. Just made a post in week 39 thread!
