2 late to change color? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

bmw330ipty · 06-28-2005, 11:26 PM

I ordered my 330 with sparkling graphite 8 days ago and on the BMW owners circle it shows that it is scheduled for production. But now i want to change colors to Titanium silver. Is it too late to change colors or can i still do it?

p.s- i ordered burl walnut trim, so with the wood shortage will the car be in "scheduled for production" for a long time??

thanks in advance,

BD

well you can always change to another car (reorder).

My experience was that "scheduled for production" really means that it is IN production. You'll note that the next state after schedule is awaiting transport. The timing on my 330 was about 10 days "scheduled" followed by 7 days "awaiting" and now14 days and counting "en route". I called my dealer and he indicated it is supposed to be at the VPC tomorrow!!! Holding my breath on this.

but if there really is a wood shortage ( i ordered burl walnut) then wouldnt my car be delayed before production??

i will anyways call 2morow and see if i can change it.
