I've got the same estimated completion date, but I'm doing ED.

I called first thing this morning when I woke up to see what the status was. I thought she said my completion date was 5/15 (it's actually 5/13). So I had to repeat it. I'm not impatient or anything...lol

Just called the 1800 number, using the automated system (as I have just about every day for the last week) and after I gave it my order number it said "hold while I look that up" had its few beeps and then instead of telling me my car was in production and was due to be complet on 5/13 it said please hold while I transfer your call. WTF!

I quickly was on the phone with a BMWNA Rep and she told me that my car was in "Assembly" which is further down then line and I also was able to get my VIN. Getting closer and closer, now if it will just get to a boat and on the first one!

I don't like this waiting even when I ordered the car so that it would not get her until June so that my current lease and new car payments would not both be due in the same month!

When are you thinking of doing PCD? I'll be doing it once my car gets back from Europe though, so it won't be until July at the earliest.

Just called the 1800 Number, Production is Completed waiting to be released to Carrier. Getting closer!

Anyone else's production completed. I want to get on a ship soon this waiting is much more difficult then I ever expected it would be.

Mine's in production still... I'm hoping it completes before the 5/14 estimation. Hopefully our cars will be able to get on a boat soon rather than later.

Hoping to do it June 12th if I can. I need to talk to my CA to see if that is feasible...

Not to rain on the parade, but my car was completed on 4/25, at the doc on 4/29 and there she sits in line...still waiting for a ship. Over two weeks so far. I hope the line for ships speeds up for you guys.

Just got my VIN and stuff... completion date 5/15!

Hopefully things will work out for a mid-June-ish PCD.

Yikes! That doesn't sound so good unless they get a fleet lined up pretty soon. :iono:

I waited on the dock for almost 3 weeks before catching a boat. It's all about timing. Some people get lucky, others get screwed.

I see quite a few convertibles in this thread...It makes me think that this is the week for production for all the Verts? I'm due to be completed 5/16/08. It looks like the next two boats depart on 5/21 and 5/26. Based on other posts, it will be like winning the lottery to make it on a boat so quickly, but one can hope....

Where in the production stage does the vehicle get assigned a VIN? Once the chassis is complete? I imagine its before the vehicle is completely assembled but after the unibody (or whatever frame type they're using) is welded together. I got my car 10 working days after I got my VIN (though thats not necessarily the day the VIN was assigned). Granted, I'm in Germany and only 2.5 hrs from Munich, but it still made me wonder. I was very happy to get my car after only a 70 day wait. :P
