Help understanding the order/production process
Hello everyone!
I’m new here and to BMW so I’m trying to learn as much as I can. I’ve ordered a 2024 M4 Base in Frozen Black. I was informed last week my order was accepted, given the production number, and told I’m in 111 status. I’ve tried to glean what I can from the posts on the process and week number etc but still feel I’m behind in understanding. Is there a good summery you all can point me to that I missed, or can someone walk me through what the numbers mean/timeline/what to expect. People keep posting about they are “week so and so build”, how do I know what I am? Thanks guys!! |

Run a search of this site for the info. When I ordered my 2021 someone posted a list of all the order status codes and what they mean. Once you have a VIN you can login to BMW yourself and find out the status, or you can call the genius line and get it from the. The genius line may have a little more complete explanation of the status.
However, it’s not always a regular process with a set amount of days for each step. For example, sometimes your car will have a status like “awaiting transport” for several days, and it’s hard to tell exactly what it’s waiting for (truck, boat, train, etc). There is also a point where you can find out what boat it is on, and then you have to figure out how to read boat schedules. |

Thanks, I’ve done that and the Chrome extension so I can see my status code. But how do you determine the build week? I called my dealer last week and was informed it is schedule for production the second week of Jan 2024.
