Woo hoo! Officially put my order in!
I'm based in Canada... So what's next? How and when will I find out when my car will get built? I'm not familiar with how all this allocation stuff works…

Congrats.
The Tracking Basics To start, learn the BMW Genius phone number. 1.844.4GENIUS (443-6487) BMW Genius has access to the same information as your dealership and is invaluable in helping you get your status. Initially your order will probably be status code 111 within a day of ordering. Then once it's closer to production it will move to status 112, scheduled for production pack. Then, status 150. When you start production (status 150) you'll be able to get your VIN number. You can also track your car using the My BMW site with your production order number, and the automated 1800 number, but both tend to be several days behind and out of date. https://www.bmwusa.com/secured/content/forms/login.aspx For the 800 number, call 1800-831-1117, option 2, then say "vehicle production status". Note: Do not be concerned if you enter your production order number into the My BMW site and it shows the wrong colors/options. That is normal and will update much later in the process. Here is a list of common status codes and their meanings: 0 Order deleted by NA 17 Order not Specified 37 Order is at BMW NA 87 Production Week Assigned 97 Order sent to AG 100 Order deleted by AG 101 Error in data transmitted 102 Special Order (no Prod Week) 105 Order out of Prod. Period 111 Order Accepted at AG 112 Order scheduled for Production **** Up to this point you can still make changes to the car such as options, colors, etc. However, once the car goes to status 150, you cannot make any changes since the car is now in production! 150 Production Started 151 Body Shop Started 152 Paint Shop Started 153 Assembly Started 155 Production Completed 160 Released to Distribution 168 AG Stock 170 Waiting Workshop 172 Planned for Workshop 174 Workshop Entry 176 Workshop Complete 180 Waiting for Export Dispatch 181 Waiting for Domestic Dispatch 182 Schedule for Carrier 190 In transit to port of exit 191 Returned to BMW AG 193 Arrived at Port of Exit 194 Selected for Shipment 195 Shipped from Port of Exit 196 Shipment Arrival at destination port? |

Thanks everyone. I've got some reading to do. I am a bit bummed my rep wasn't more forthcoming with info. He left me understanding that I'd just have to wait a bit, and would get more info soon. He was optimistic though because he said I'm the first person at their dealership to actually place an order, so I should be fairly high up in order.
And because I didn't really know what I was talking about, I didn't push him on anything, as I thought I'd come across as not knowing what I'm talking about... But it sounds like this is fair game to ask, and is not being too nosy! I read in a different thread this: You won't get a VIN number until the car goes into production but if you have an allocation you should have a production number, without that you really don't know what the truth is. If you have a production number than that’s a guarantee of a build. Without a production number equals no car. So it sounds like I should just straight up ask him A) do you have an allocation for this car, and if so, when am I getting a production number. Right? |

But you have a good point about the tires, they didn't give that much thought, because I thought the M cars all come with non RFT tires only. However, when I look at the Ordering guide again now, I'm worried that might not be the case... Strange if they have changed this policy. Worst case, I guess when the first set of tires wear out I will switch to non-RFT's. . |

Were the 763M wheels an option or only as an aftermarket add-on, or not yet available?

Ottawa (Otto's) has an available July M2C allocation
I was there today. The client that "had" the spot took a job overseas. They offered it to me, but for various reasons (link below) elected to shake hands and put a deposit on an LCI with delivery late June... BSM 6MT, very excited!
Anyway if anyone in Ottawa wants a July build of M2C, call Otto's... I left it there for you http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=11
