You still got 4 days, so these still plenty of time. Good luck.

Thanks for the insight. Much appreciated.

Cominginhot - Update: So after nine days from having moved to the third dot, my build is still at the third dot. I am now told that my build will be complete by 6/30, so earlier than July 5 but you would never know it by the dots. A build only takes a few days so maybe it still gets done early. fingers crossed!

It takes a few days (weeks) to move from the 3rd dot to the 4th, but once it does, it'll jump through the next several dots within 1 to 2 days.

Anyone know if Spartansburg is up and running today? Or do they start up again tomorrow?

My x7 40i with a week 28 production just moved to dot 5. Seems to be right on queue.

Not sure if I understand the repetitive inquiries on Spartanburg plant operations running and not running. If I recall didn't you receive a production week?

I recommend calling BMW Genius or your CA that's what the majority of the members due while waiting for their vehicles to be built.

There are forum members who do work at the plants but will rarely comment on daily plant operations.

I've been ignoring it as best I can. I only check it once a day

ComingInHot, any movement on your X7 order?

Congrats. Getting closer. Hoping to be at dot 5 in the next day or 2 myself. What was your estimated completion date?

Estimated date varied, it was originally July 20-something and then moved to July 6th. Last week when I called they said July 14th. Of course today, July 6th it was on dot 5 in the AM and this evening it's already at "Awaiting Carrier Assignment".

That's pretty good progress! Can't wait to see pics when you pick her up.

I am glad yours moved up. My expected completion date has been July 10 and it hasn't changed since it went into production on June 24. Still on dot 3.

It makes sense that it went from "Entering Assembly Line" to "Awaiting Carrier Assignment" in the same day. It usually takes about 6 hours to put the car together once it enters the assembly line.

When did your car go into production? What is your production date listed as per your VIN using mdecoder?

[huskerdoc2020]

My week 30 just entered production!

If it's like mine I'm about two weeks it will jump through all the dots in one day.

My build did the exact same thing. At the beginning of the day it was Entering assembly Line; now it is awaiting carrier assignment. Crazy... but I'm happy to be at this point. Getting close.

Hey mine also! VIN assigned. we have the same week 30 so it looks like we are progressing along at the same time.

What does it say for you guys as the build date on https://www.mdecoder.com/

From everything I heard so far, it sounds like the X7 has the necessary hardware for Apple CarKey. It's a matter of what software is loaded on the iDrive of our cars at the factory. If they come with version 7.2020.xx I think we should have capability. If we get 3.2020.xx, then we have to wait for the update to arrive for our vehicles.

My VIN is still populating. It's not complete yet. It only lists a few items. Does not list all the options of my build. My production date on mdecoder.com is June 27

I just looked and currently it still says vehicle not found. I'll keep checking!

I don't know about that. There are some active threads in this topic and while many people are saying what you say I am dubious. They seem to be going out of their way to say vehicles BUILT after July 1st. In their big blog post about the July update it says vehicles built after July 1 will have the "necessary hardware". Nowhere has BMW said it would be rolled out the existing fleet in an update. Also I have a suspicion all 2020 X7s will have a June build date. That's why I asked what the week 30 guys had for build date.

I hear you. I have been reading the same different things you are reading. No one really knows what is really going to happen. When I spoke to BMW NA yesterday, the agent told me that a retrofit may be coming in the future if my car doesn't have the feature, but nothing is confirmed yet. I guess time will tell.
