Just got off the phone with genius the other day and was told that my original week 27 build was moved to week 35 most likely because of the individual color combination I chose.
I am building a M3 competition all-wheel-drive with
individual Voodoo blue
Fiona red full leather interior.
Executive package
Drivers assistance pro
Parking assistance
Carbon fiber trim
Ventilated seats
Icon LED w/laser lights
M drive professional
M shadowline lights
M826 bi color wheels

In theory, it could build sooner but I'm going to assume the worst here and just assume that I will be beginning my build on week 35 and no earlier.

[jpsimon]

Same thing happened to me. Originally week 27, now told week 35

2022 M3 xDrive
Individual San Marino Blue
Silverstone/Black extended leather
Carbon Bucket Seats
Carbon fiber trim
Executive package
Parking assistance
Laser Lights
M shadowline lights
M826 bi color wheels

Going to just assume the worst like you… week 35 here we go

[Macheins]

It's a bummer we were all told week 27 initially. Seems that all the individual orders got the bump and this may end up being the 2022 individual thread. If it is, we should coordinate a collection of Individual PCD orders on the same day.

2022 xDrive M3
Individual Marina Bay Blue
Silverstone/Black Full Leather
Standard Ventilated Seats
Carbon Fiber Trim
Laser Lights
826m bi-color wheels

I got pushed to week 36 but with all you individual guys in here I might as well hang out.

2022 M3 Comp
Twilight Purple
Silverstone carbon buckets
825m bi color
Carbon trim
Exec pack
Parking assistance pack
Shadow line laser lights
Black calipers

Seems like a lot of individual cars incoming later this year, pumped on that for sure!

[F80SRT]

And me to the week 27 now 34 list.

Very depressing, and I really don't understand how moving individuals 6 weeks changes the assembly line. It's the same problem just six weeks from now.

Lol. I have been good so far. Only bought floating wheel cpas and a carbon fiber license plate frame for the back.
I am thinking about those carbon fiber seat backs though. How do they get attached? Double sided tape?
Where did you get yours?

Bought from IND, along with painted reflectors. Double sided tape. They look great, full, real carbon fiber.

Nice. That's where I got the floating caps and license plate frame from. Their shop is only a few hours drive from me.
I really like the carbon fiber seat backs and as much as I am not a "wing" person the m performance wing on a few of the g80s just looks epic.
I may have to pull the trigger on the seat backs or decide if I'm going to do more PPF when I do PCD. Already got a quote from extreme in SC. They do all the PCD cars. Reasonable prices to save from stone chips.

If I can ever get a corrected allocation given to me, perhaps I'll join this group.

Still awaiting word from BMW corporate to grant my dealership an immediate allocation with my individual color since they screwed up the one my dealership originally put in last month.

[iviegatron]

Went to my dealership last week and asked them if there is a waiting list for an allocation, I was told they don't deal with any waiting list and you just place your order (which I did) and they'll give me the week when the car will be completed. Week 35 is my build completion date. Every other dealer I have called I was added to a waiting list.

I am new to this process, will be my first BMW, but is that normal? Is week 35 a guarantee for me?

My Build:

- M3 Manual
- Alpine White
- Carbon fiber Trim
- Red brake calipers
- Shadowline lights
- Shadowline trim
- Laser lights
- Ventilated seats

[jpsimon]

They can't give you a week # unless they have an allocation for you to place the order. Is that what happened?

I finally called. They told me week 36 but I'm staying in this thread until closer to the actual build date because I'm not sure I believe any of these updates from BMW Genius until I see an individual 2022 actually go into production.

I asked them if you guys have an allocation and all they did was sit down with me and we went through the build which they entered in their system. I was told I can make as many changes as I like until they submit the order and that's the day I need to pay my security deposit.

This doesn't seem like an allocation. Otherwise the order would have been submitted to get the build going. Then again they told me week 35 is the completion date with confidence.

Is it possible they have an allocation but they can only submit the order at a certain time?

This is my second car I have built and first doing individual couple.
Do you have a production order number? If you have that then the build week is real.
We are all in status of 102 because of individual but you should be (probably) in status 111/112 right before it goes to status 150. 150 status means car is actually being built so you can't make any changes at that point.

If you have a production order number I would call the genius hotline and talk to a person. Tel them your production order number and they can confirm the week.

That being said a build week could move for any number of reasons like doing an individual color or a parts backlog or really anything.

In the end..
production order number = allocation and build week
No production order number= you don't have anything but a build waiting to be sent in.

No production number yet. They haven't submitted the build request yet with my specs. Once they submit that request is the day I put in the security deposit. Which tells me they don't have an allocation yet is what I am assuming. I am eager to get the build started but also patient so I can take advantage of the PenFed incentive for MY2022.

[Sbm007]

I'm actually Week 36 (status 111) but I hope it gets moved up to Week 34 or Week 35 closer to the time.

From what I've seen so far on these forums, when your build goes status 112 (typically 4 weeks before your estimated build week), that's when it's most likely to change build weeks too, usually by a week or two (either brought forward or pushed back).

So for most of us I think around Week 31/32 (1st week of August) our builds should lock into status 112 and then the system will give us a more accurate build week.

They are playing you. If you don't have a production number you have nothing at this point except a dealer stalling you until they get an allocation which no one can predict with any certainty, only guess.

[iviegatron]

Thanks. Like I said before I am new to this process and it's tough to tell what is BS and what's not. I had a gut feeling there is no allocation yet. I am on the waiting list at multiple dealerships, so whoever reaches out first is the one I will go to.

[hockeygoalie35]

My status changed to “Scheduled for Production”, so I guess Monday I’ll be calling again!

Lucky!!

[jpsimon]

Anyone else move to Scheduled For Production? I'm still stuck at "Order Received".
