Is This Possible ?

So my dealer took my order a few weeks ago and immediately gave me the production number. I've registered online at the BMW site but it does not have a production date yet, however my dealer tells me it's the third week of Feb. How accurate is the BMW site ?

a production number is essentially an allocation to the dealer. it is priority 3 until they spec it for you and then it becomes a priority 1 order with (i believe) an expedited build schedule.

from my limited experience fighting through all this, i would ask your dealer if your order is currently priority 1 and what build date has been assigned.

just speculating but it sounds like you are in the same situation as me. my dealer has given me a production number but not actually submitted my order. it is sitting in their system as a priority 3 order for the 9th week of production. they claim they will change it to priority 1 today or tomorrow. i'll see about that.
