Week 29 Support Group

Well, at least I'm not posting the support group for the most distant in time.. But then, everyone talking in the Week 30 group is planning their European Delivery.

And to think, I started this transaction back in the middle of April, and if I had stuck with the 328i coupe, it would be here by now. My original dealership didn't seem interested in trading their allocations, they thought it was a futile effort. I called a few others around here, and they seemed to think it was no problem, so I had to let them have at it. I would think by now, the dealerships have their full allocation before the big break in August, so I wouldn't expect any new news at the end of this month for additional Year One 1s. :iono:

Anyway, I'll have take a little trip to pick it up, but it should well be worth it.

Nice to see another 128i Coupe! We are few and far between it seems in this world of 135i's.

What dealership did you go through?

I'm week 28 - But no one else seems to be.

128i Coupe. I'm thrilled about it - even if I'm not going to spend $20k on mods, and launch into the stratosphere with a twitch of the accelerator.

Im a week 30'er what's wrong w/being a little excited? I only placed my original order on 3/25 then had to move it up to 4/8 because I had to change dealers. I'm just eclipsing the 3mo barrier now.

Hello neighbor! (build week speaking!)

Heh. Not quite that vindictive. I've had the same production number from the start... When I first called BMW and spoke to a rep to ask them about the status on that number, they thought it would be week 29... But I called today and got a rep (only my second call!) and it was my lucky day. Free 11 days. And now I heard they may not offer Sparkling Graphite Metallic next year, so I'm pretty thrilled I got in.

Did you just randomly call and spoke to a rep or did your CA tell you that you got bumped?

I (somewhat) randomly called the BMW 800 number. I don't really think the folks I'm working with at the dealership are quite as in tune with this process as we are... When I was first talking to the sales manager on this, he was talking about the car starting production on July 30th or 31st. I'm sure what he was referring to was week 30 or week 31.

Anyway, I had originally called after I got the production number, that's when I found out I was then scheduled for week 29, so I started this thread.

Then I called again today just to see if they had the order details in properly... Apparently, he couldn't look up that info, but he did tell me I was going in production, so that was good enough for me.

I called BMW today - apparently the car went into production this Monday! I can't really get any further information, but I should be out of production by Wednesday.

Looks like I was just a day early for the website and the phone system. They're up to date now.. No more X5. No options yet, though.

Jet Black 128i Convertible
Taupe leatherette
Black top
6MT
Sport Package
Ipod

Told I should get it in 6-8 weeks.

Update: Dealer emailed to say my car went into production today and attached the build sheet and VIN. Awesome! So, what does that make me - week 28 or 29?
