So I finally got around to calling Genius. they stated that I am showing Build week 27. not sure how since I was already in Week 27 prior to my Individual paint request and then I got pushed back to status 102 which I thought would mean a new Build week.
there is a part of me that thinks the build week he can see is an old week and hasn't updated yet. I wasn't going to tell him that in hopes that it was correct.

At least you have a build with the correct color, unlike myself.

It might be when production begins at best, but I know my order went backwards in status when I added laser lights last week (the fact that they even did this to an already submitted individual order was a surprise enough in itself).

I'll believe the week # when the car is actually in production

Same here. I'll believe it when I see it state it started production.
I was status 112, got my individual order approved and it showed 102. There I am sitting until I get to build week.
I asked the genius rep if they could tell me the order status. He said I see your build week is we for week 27 which is July.
<shrug>.

I'm just gonna wait until next week and see what happens.

Very similar scenario that played out for me. The day my color was approved I snuck in the laser lights and saw the status go from 111 to 102 and haven't seen it change since then. Genius said the same thing to me today, which was unexpected. Here's to hoping we all end up getting on the production line to at least start the individual orders on week 27... otherwise we will end up in the 28, 29, or beyond threads!

I think it'll come down to how long cars will sit at the German port!

Genius said production should be complete by July 5th (which is nothing new) but there's always a chance to finish earlier. I'd love to get my car in August but I'm doing PDC which may delay things depending on their schedule.

I'm also week 27, and doing PDC. My CA reached out to them to book delivery, and PDC says no one can book 2022 MY deliveries yet because the cars are not CARB certified.

Now, will that hold us up? Who knows. Maybe they get certified this week. Maybe they sit at the port for a month. Isn't this fun?!

That's disappointing. I'm pretty sure all 27s started production last week.

Oh wow how cool will it be to do PDC together. Both Portimao Blue G80's

My CA also reached out to the PDC and they responded the same. What I understood from that response is that this is for all 2022 cars so I'm pretty sure they're working on the necessary approvals so the cars don't sit at the U.S. port / VDC until paperwork is in place. No reason to worry yet

Hey hey! If I stay week 27 then it might be three of us! I am also going to do PCD for the voodoo blue M3.

This could be epic if we all ended up taking deliver at the same time a PCD!

We'll have to be very lucky to pull this off! But yes it'll be epic!

Make a that a possible 4th, I'm doing PDC as well for my Twilight Purple M3C

M3AWD · 06-29-2021, 01:44 PM

Damn!

But if individual cars are not in Production Starts status that's going to be pretty hard!

Yeah. I don't know this as truth but wondering if 102 status is to individual colors as 112 is for normal colors?
It's weird since from what I can tell I'm still at 102 BUT genius states build week 27 is on my order.
<shrug>
With my luck the week 27 hasn't updated to the "real" week and I'm looking at 2 months away. Lol.

M3AWD · 06-30-2021, 07:15 AM

My car moved into Status 151 "EXTERIOR BODY ASSEMBLY BEGINS" on 6/30! Or shall I say my car now exists

Anyone else hit the assembly line today?

We'll know for sure by the end of next week.. if it still hasn't moved past step 1 we're going to have to find another thread to discuss this in because this Week 27 ship will have sailed

I had promised I wouldn't refresh the site but then I did and it moved to Status 152 "IN THE PAINT BOOTH" this afternoon

Macheins · 06-30-2021, 01:42 PM

I really hope they group up all the PCD individual orders in such a way we all can schedule at the same time! I'm planning to pick up in Spartanburg as well. My only big question is whether I risk driving it back here for PPF or use the shop down the street from the PCD and spend an extra day down there.
