So my car has arrived at the Performance Center and I started browsing around everything in "My Garage" online and found a pleasant surprise...maybe I'll be the first stick-shift M340i around?

Just curious why would your car go to performance center? Is it because you added some m performance parts?

Ordered a M340xi that was assigned to "Production Begins" on 8/5 but has not changed since then. When I called the BMW genius they gave me an estimated build completion of 9/2, which seems oddly long. My vehicle has a VIN number already which makes me think it has to be somewhere along the production process.

Has anyone else had this issue or had the build status stuck for over a week at a time? Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same boat as you! My production started on 8/7 and got a VIN assigned. It's still showing the same progress today. Calling the automated BMW line says the car is scheduled for completion around September 6, I believe. Like you, I'm wondering why it's so long.

Same. Production on my 2020 330i started on 8/2. It hasn't moved at all. Been checking multiple times a day to see if it's moved to "Exterior body assembly begins" and nothing...

Is there a holiday plant closing in Germany in August?

Good point! I found this on the guided plant tour page -

Please note that the BMW Group Plant will remain closed in the following time periods and therefore no guided tours will take place:
12/08 – 23/08/2019
20/12/2019 – 06/01/2020

I would have thought at least mine would have been done before then though since it says it started production on 8/2. It is what it is I guess.

I ordered a week before and was dispatched from factory 21 days before. We reached "at the port" the same day lol. No idea what happened during the missing weeks....

Ah, yes, thanks for the info! I also had my 330 order go to 'in production" on Aug 2nd...and then nothing. At least I now have some information to buffer my angst!!

Depends on the allocation is your dealership on the bmwNA excellence list ? It looked like I got in just at the right time for the next production week...

I didn't catch all of the dates for my car unfortunately - but here are the ones I can recall / rough estimate of some of them... I must have gotten an allocation that was about to begin production because my car got built almost immediately following my order.

Ordered 7/19
Sched for prod 7/22
Prod begins 7/22
Ext body assem 7/24 (est)
Paint booth 7/26 (est)
Entering assem line (didn't see a date for this change)
Quality check (didn't see a date for this change)
Final assem (didn't see a date for this change)
Ready for trans (didn't see a date for this change)
Awaiting carrier assign (didn't see a date for this change)
Dispatched from fact 7/31 (est)
At the port in Germany 8/6
In transit 8/19 on Morning Charlotte (on my garage, actually left on 8/16) -
At the port (of Baltimore) 8/30
In transit (from Port of Baltimore to Dealer) 9/12
At dealership 9/13
Vehicle delivered 9/14

Total duration from order to estimated delivery at dealer is 8 weeks!

There is a delay, plant closed for German Holiday? Or something else?

I asked my CA to find out about the delay, he responded that there is a slight delay due to shortage of one of the seating components

I'm on the Morning Charlotte as well. I was told that later this week I will be able to schedule my PCD.

Just saw on one of the ship tracking websites that Morning Charlotte has an estimated arrival date of 8/30 now - so confirms my suspicion that 8/26 was too early for the ship to arrive in Baltimore. My guess is that my car should be delivered to the dealer sometime in early September now.

I saw the Aug 30 date too. Assuming that holds true I guess PCD would be at least a week after?

It depends on whether you have any Port Installed Options, such as the Black Kidney Grilles or any M-Performance parts.

Depending on what and how many, that can add to how long it takes, in some cases a few weeks.

If you don't have any port installed options, then it is just shipping the car from Baltimore down to South Carolina - it can sometimes take a day or two to get the car off of the ship and then sometimes can take another few days, up to a week to get the car scheduled for transport. I've never done PCD, so I'm not sure if those cars get priority or have more transports or whatever.

Thanks for the info. I'm not buying Aug 30 arrival, the ship has been off the coast of England for days now. I'm not sure what they're waiting on but at this rate it will be October by the time it gets to the PC.
