if all the stars align, i've had a car from spartanburg flip to in production the night after the order was placed, and be at the dealer for pickup 14 days later, including a holiday weekend. i think thats on the shorter end of timing; an order later that same year took 20 days. my dealer is in the NYC area so their cars are trucked from SC.
not sure if the cars for the midwest and west are shipped by train then truck. there have been some rail delays recently.
my dealer is telling me mid to late august for delivery, and that my allocation is for a week 31 build. once the order status flips to 150, then you should have a production date assigned.
another wrinkle is EPA certification, that can delay release of the car. always a possibility at the beginning of the model year. as of right now it does not look like the X7 has had its EPA certification completed (this is normal, its usually just self certification data)
so far only these bmws have been certified for MY2023

if you are really curious, theres data hidden in the underlying code for the "my garage" webpage. developer mode in chrome exposes it
-full options list including if there were any on the fly deletions
- production status code
- production date (this will fill in and change as things progress)

Thanks. I recently got a limited edition Volvo that was the first of its kind in the US, and it sat waiting for EPA (first Extended Range Polestar PHEV V60 stateside), then tornados in the gulf delayed truck transport from Georgia to Texas (was truck not rail). Fortunately, Texas isn’t a CARB state, but others had theirs’ held even longer for CARB. I can share a thread from the Volvo forums on that experience if you desire. So, I actually thought of EPA delays today honestly.
I guess is should ask my dealer what week my build is, I feel like I’ve emailed him too much on this car already, haha.
