When to get the production number or VIN?

Hi 1ers,

I signed the paper on my 135i order this Monday and the dealer told me that they, the dealer and inventory manager, secured my order for June production later that day. He e-mailed me that once he gets the VIN number he would send me it. It's been 4 days, and he hasn't got me the VIN or production number yet.
When did you get your VIN number/Production number when you ordered your 1 series?

Congratulations!

Production number for me was available the month before production. That number isn't created until your car is in the schedule, from what I was told...

Thanks dcb, I'm very excited
Reading through this forum, ppl say they were able to go to OC to check their cars' status right after they put orders. I guess it only applies to US ppl?

Just got the production number, but not VIN yet. So, we canadians cannot track it only with production number??
