hi Russ and welcome aboard!

Do you know if March 22 is what is showing in the BMW Order system, or is that just a "guesstimate" from the dealer? I ordered my M40i in early September, but it is not showing any estimated build date on the order system yet (Status is 111 with no delivery schedule according to Genius team).

Hi!

It’s just a guesstimate. Paperwork says circa late March.

Many thanks @blaster1956, my first ever Beemer and a replacement for my great fun but space-challenged MX-5 which has now gone. I'm used to waiting patiently for a factory order as the Mustang took 9 months, hopefully my Zed won't take as long!

    Just got an update from Genius on my M40i order. Now showing status 111 with planned production for last week in January 22, delivery presumably 4-6 weeks later, so probably early March if that build slot holds.

    Unsurprisingly they didn’t have (or weren’t prepared to share) any info on Touchscreen deletions.

    That’s not too bad, at least you know that it’s pencilled in and when it will hopefully start :thumbsup:

    PeterE, that’s exactly like mine, though I’ve gone for the cognac interior, you?

    @Sars: yes, Cognac interior for me too, the Ivory White was just well, too white for me, the Magma Red looked like weak tomato ketchup(!) and I didn't want another car with a black interior.
    @blaster1956: ours should not be too far apart I would guess although I think your order was placed earlier in September than mine?
    A general question from a newbie - when should I request my Production Number from the Dealer? It'll be 5 weeks tomorrow since I placed the order.

    Yeah I think my order was raised around 8th September and I got my order number within 3-4 days, although I did have to ask them for it. Should be a 7 digit number.
