Production Status

extmtnbkr · 09-20-2007, 08:29 AM

First, let me introduce myself as a new 335i owner (well production number holder at least). Mine is black sapphire with saddle brown and gray poplar - 6MT, Sport pkg, iDrive/Navi, iPod, Sirrius and CA.

I ordered the week before Labor Day and just found out this morning that I'm in production with an expected completion date of 9/26.

I'm hoping that with a little luck I can make the Aida which leaves on 10/4 and arrives in NJ on 10/18.

I can't wait for my car to arrive.

congrats on the order, and welcome to the forum! I would say you have a good shot at making that boat. Good luck!

NPDAN · 09-20-2007, 08:52 AM

Fingers are crossed on the 9 day build, transport and release.... post pics when you take delivery... good luck

jtmccabe · 09-20-2007, 09:01 AM

That's gonna be a beautiful car. I'm jealous since I couldn't get the gray poplar in the E90.

Welcome to the forum and to the insomnia club!

grats and welcome. black has such a classy look, enjoy!

Digital.James · 09-20-2007, 10:23 AM

congrats. i'm also eagerly awaiting my 335

bthienthai · 09-20-2007, 11:38 AM

Maybe you should postpone the pickup date a couple days until the opening of the Welt. From what's described on the website, the experience will be awesome. I've looked at the delivery process at the old center and it's nothing compared to what will be in store at the Welt. Just my opinion though.

japac1 · 09-20-2007, 01:36 PM

Congratulations and welcome.

Update - I'm in the paint shop today and headed for assembly tomorrow. That means I will likely complete assembly on the 26th as expected and hopefully be in route to the port that same day. Timeline has been as follows:

Enter production - 9/20
Enter paint shop - 9/24
Enter assembly - 9/25

Still optimistic about making the Aida on 10/4. The Aida arrives in NY on 10/18 and as a side note, my birthday is 10/22 - I'm hoping for an email from my CA right around that time that my car is ready and waiting for me to pick up.

Grats.. I just ordered 2 weeks ago. Where your order from?

extmtnbkr · 09-24-2007, 12:10 PM

Congrats on your order also.

I ordered from BMW of Manhattan.

BimmerB · 09-24-2007, 12:19 PM

Hope you get your car on or before your birthday! I placed my order on Labor Day weekend and still dont have a production date. Hopefully it will start by the end of this week.

BimmerB · 09-25-2007, 08:53 AM

After calling the 1800 automated system and checking OC (online) for the past 7 days, I finally called BMW NA. Rep said she has good news for me. My car actually went in production today! My baby might be on the same boat as you Eldy. Sweeeeeeeeeeet

extmtnbkr · 09-26-2007, 08:23 AM

Update - 9/26 - production complete, awaiting transport!

I'd love to see it make the Aida - or maybe even the Patriot.

cn555ic · 09-26-2007, 07:37 PM

I think a little past your birthday you can expect your car...I think the 22nd is hopeful thinking...I think more like the 28th

BimmerB · 10-02-2007, 09:47 AM

Hey extmtnbkr if you weren't able to catch the Patriot, seems like the shipping company added another vessel (ATLANTIC COMPASS) to depart the same day as AIDA. My car left the factory yesterday and didn't make it to the port yet. Hopefully my car will be able to make it to the port before 10/4 so it can get on line to board one of those ships.

extmtnbkr · 10-02-2007, 12:44 PM

Nice catch. The Atlantic Compass was originally expected to leave on Saturday 9/29 arriving in NJ on 10/16. Apparently now it is leaving on the 4th and scheduled to arrive on 10/17.

Having been at the port since last Friday with two ships leaving on Thursday I should be on one of them.

BimmerB - if you left yesterday you should be at port tomorrow.

rworrell · 10-02-2007, 10:09 PM

extmtnbkr--my 335i (6MT, ZPP, ZSP, 6FL, CA, Navi) also completed production on 9/26. Today I called and it said that it's at the port, awaiting a vessel. Looks like I should also be on one of the two 10/4 (Thursday) ships!

Of course, being in NYC, you'll be getting yours about 8-10 days sooner than Mpls, from what I've seen here.

extmtnbkr · 10-03-2007, 08:46 AM

Update: as of this morning I'm in transit. I tried tracking on the WW website but I'm not showing up there yet.

I suppose there's a chance with system lag that I am on the Patriot after all.
