Final Count for U.S. 1Ms?

1978.530i · 11-09-2011, 02:47 PM

If all 2011 MY cars destined for the USA had to be completed/produced by the end of October, shouldn't we have a final count soon? Anyone hearing anything other than the 680 or 690 number being tossed around?

I would be interested in knowing this as well... How many did the US and the world get?

This has already been covered. They're not going to release US number until next year if at all.

Bmw used to be quite open with there production numbers, BIMMER magazine would give periodic updates on those figures across the entire BMW line. It used to be broken down to specific model, like 325, 335, M3 and in sedan/coupe as well. BMW stopped doing that a few years back and now all you can get is total number of 3/5/7-series produced in any given month/quarter. Hence the need for the registry sticky!

My dealer tells me they are still building them for the US.

Yes, production for US will end in Dec with the last cars coming in around Mid February.

1978.530i · 11-12-2011, 06:55 AM

I don't think anyone on this board has a post-October build date.

mPlasticDesign · 11-12-2011, 11:38 AM

Mine is week 45...Last week. Delivers mid December.

Beemer22 · 11-12-2011, 01:05 PM

Actually no, production should have already ended because they can't have a 2011 be delivered in 2012...

In your case, production probably started in week 44 which is end of Oct into the beginning of Nov? You might be the last of the last for NA production.

I don't understand? Who are you disagreeing with? You did say this a couple of posts ago, you know.

Is that how it works? It has to be on our shores before the end of calender year? I was thinking it would have more to do with production date. I really don't know though. So hyothetically, if there was a delivery scheduled for second week of december and the boat gets delayed until Jan 1st would they not be able to sell the car?

I would take some of the things said here with a grain of salt. A lot of misinformation being bantered about.

Asked & answered here. We know that it isn't 680, "scheduled" US production ended in October, and the final number will be released, but not until after the holidays.

Week 45 Started on Nov 7th...Nov 4th I called BMW Canada and the car had not started production.

If I am not mistaken, there is a guy in Kitchener/Waterloo with a Dec production date and is expecting delivery in January.

Either way, I am effing dying to get my car!
