My 2002 is scheduled for production the week ending September 14 (week 37)! What sort of time frames have people on the board seen from the date of production to actual delivery? I am taking delivery at my local dealer in Minnesota. I am trying to keep expectations in line, but am hoping to get some serious miles under my belt before the snow flies....
My dealer tells me he has no info yet on 2002 I,m supposed to have oct-nov delivery date and so far I have no info. I,m # 2 on the list, I think my salesman is a putz. thanks
I also have a early Sept. production date but I was not told what week the car will be built. MGMN, did your dealer tell you the week or did the information on the bmwusa owner's circle page tell you that. I was only told that the car would arrive early-mid Oct.
Here is what I have learned so far. When you place an order, a production number is assigned to the vehicle. Your dealer should have that number for any specific vehicle that has been ordered. The vehicle will be assigned a VIN number only when it is actually being built. However, the production number can be used to determine the scheduled week of production. I sent an e-mail from the BMW Owners' Circle web site with my production number, and they quickly responded with the scheduled date of production.
I've got a number that starts 688...I don't know if they are sequential, but I would guess that they are. Looks like you might have your car before me! Let's stay in touch as we learn more about actual production status. Good luck.
Assigned the Production Number on June 11 with production week 29 (16 July).
The car was rescheduled for production the week of 2 July.
Production started 3 July and VIN assigned -- 150 status.
Production completed 19 July -- 155 status.
Released to distribution 24 July -- 160 status.
Boarded the ship to NJ about a week later.
Arrived in the NJ VPC on 8 August.
Expect delivery to dealer week of 20 August.
After phone installation and vehicle preparation, actual delivery expected August 24.

Earlier this year a bunch of us (who took delivery of our '01s during the Spring) posted our data on a thread called "Order/Production Summary". The thread died out, mostly from lack of input, but it's still available. There was also a thread called "Current Production" with some good info.
There is a lot of data re list to ordering to shipping to delivery, including how to track your ship!
Check it out and post if you are so inclined.....Good Luck!
