Production Week Backup?

Ordered on Monday, got my production # today.
Website provided nothing except a picture and description of the wrong car (typical).
Called Genuis # and they said I was slated for Week 16. I asked what that meant and he said "last week of April"!!!!
If it takes 4-5 weeks after production to arrive that is June! They must be getting orders piling up? Anyone else finding recent orders are quite far out?

Tough wait ahead. Anybody ever had a production week moved up after initial estimate?

Production week usually signifies end of production. Sometimes they move up especially Spartanburg cars. My Alpina finished in November and and still didn't arrive in Baltimore till late February so no complaining. Then it got held up at VPC for 2 weeks.

Peace,
Noushy

Ordered the day after the closed door invitation November 29, 2016. Got the VIN in February. The Production date shows 17.02.17. And still no news after.

Is there a way to see what stage car is in, in Europe like people do from US? how?

No a factory stop recall. New turbo lines, parts were backordered.

Good day today. Genius says my production week is now 14 instead of 16 (4/9-4/15), and my car is now the correct color in MyBMW... still no other details showing up though.
LOL gotta savor the small victories in this agonizing time...
Cheers.
