You can take your Production Number and go online to track your vehicle’s status. Keep in mind that this system is usually a week behind. BMW Owner’s Circle (OC) http://www.bmwusa.com/OwnersCircle/ gives you very little information to simplify the waiting process (and no, we don’t like that, we like detail!) and break the order process into 5 stages:
Thanks for the great info.

I'm wondering if you can give me some info?
This is the first time I've ordered a BMW. I've owned before but not ordered.

After we worked the dealer, my CA put my order into the system with the options I wanted. I know that the status is 112.
He did say he would try and get a May build if possible, but right now it's a June build.

But, where is my "production number"?

All I have is a print out title "vehicle inquiry report"
There's a product number, and right under its shows"order status".
On the right upper side it shows things like "assigned to"
"port loc" , "dest loc"

Do I have the right thing?
Has my 135i actually been ordered?
I don't see anywhere a "production number"

Thanks.
