ive been waiting for a production number for my 135cp for one month as of today. what about you?

singular · 09-29-2011, 04:37 PM

I bought mine at the end of 2008. It took a week or two to get the production number.

The build date was about a month after I ordered it. It arrived at the dealership in early March 2009. So about 2.5 months from order to delivery.

Just a word of warning, boats to the west coast take quite a bit longer than the east coast due to the longer distance and the canal. It was the longest 2.5 months of my life.

yeah i was quoted approx 70 days, but the same person also told me id have the production number within a week so i dont know...

It depends on what allocations your dealer has available calendar wise. My dealer did not have any immediate ones open and it too almost seven weeks to get a production number confimed, but he was able to tell me that up front as he knew his near term production was spoken for.

this.
Dealers, particularly large ones, always have cars in the pipeline. Their configurations are invariable "loaded", but that's a different story.

If they happen to have one which hasn't entered the stage of "no change", they will put your options on that allocation.
In my case, I got a production number on the next day.

cvandenhaute · 09-29-2011, 05:40 PM

One week for me, took exactly 5 weeks between order date and delivery date. In the meantime, my brother who leaves in Belgium had to wait nearly 5 months for a 116d

Dano135i · 09-29-2011, 08:29 PM

Ordered on a Friday, got the production number the following Monday. By Friday I had a PCD delivery date and the following Thursday my car entered production.

propkaPT · 09-29-2011, 09:07 PM

hmm i got my number right away.

cash92104 · 09-29-2011, 10:41 PM

well its nice to know im not the only one that is having to (or had to) wait a while. thanks for the responses

mchaoster · 09-29-2011, 11:15 PM

i've waited 10 days and still nothing. i emailed my SA earlier in the week and got no response... i'm thinking of going to another dealer to see if i can get my car soon... or even getting a used m3 instead

ronssito · 09-30-2011, 12:17 AM

a few days ..

coda72 · 09-30-2011, 12:05 PM

It only took 2-3 days for me to get a production number, but my car didn't actually go into production until a couple of weeks later.

sjp3003 · 10-01-2011, 06:18 AM

Last June it took me less than a week...

Yep, same here.

crbalch · 10-14-2011, 12:32 PM

2.5 months to get my production number

ordered july 7th, got my prod number september 23rd

car just changed to status 112 on 10/11

mchaoster · 10-14-2011, 11:16 PM

I just got my prod # yesterday. I ordered on 9/18 so almost 1 month. Prob won't get it until x-mas. Added perf suspension and powe kit 1 at the port. Don't know how much mote time it will add. Saw the new 3 series today, if that's what the new 1 will resemble then I'm glad I ordered this one

Ian///M · 11-07-2011, 09:14 PM

If the dealer has an allocation from what I understand the customer should receive a production/build number in the post within a couple of weeks. If no allocation, dealer has to wait until they get allocation.

Vyk · 11-07-2011, 10:10 PM

I ordered on 10/29 and got my number today.

By letter or email?

Vyk · 11-07-2011, 10:21 PM

Phone call from my CA. (He's very much an old-school car salesman; he read my email asking for a quote, but has generally preferred doing business over the phone.) He told me when I ordered it to give him a call last week. Between one thing and another, I didn't get a chance to call until Saturday. I left him a message then, and he returned my call around 4:30PM today.

Ian///M · 11-15-2011, 06:26 AM

So if ordered 2 weeks ago, and dealer has allocated Jan 2012 production, when should I receive a production number?
