Should I be worried?

Dan203 · 04-09-2008, 02:08 AM

When I first got my production number and entered it into OC it had all the wrong options and colors. I was warned about this by the dealer, so I didn't worry about it. However I just checked it again and now it has some of the options I wanted, but is still missing a couple and the color is still wrong. Should I be worried by the fact that it changed but is still wrong?

1-800-831-1117 may provide some reassurance.

It didn't update that fast for me. I think it took about 2 weeks for my order to sort out.

Tried that, it says the production status application is not available due to system maintenance. I'll have to try again in the morning.

Don't worry. It's BMW's way of testing your faith and patience.

This is exactly what happened when I special ordered my 2004 Toyota Tundra 4x4 TRD Limited crew cab. I wanted EVERY option except leather because the only color leather was tan with fake brown wood and a brown dashboard. UGLY. It took 12 weeks. They did the same thing BMW does. They found one almost ready for production scheduled to be sent to another state. They found one with the grey cloth I wanted, but not many other options. Every 2-3 days an option would take. Thats what they called it. Then in another 2-3-4-5- days another option would take. This took about 4-6 weeks to take all the options I wanted. I was so worried it wouldn't be 99.9% loaded, because I wanted EVERY option except leather, even the $1800 DVD ent system. In all, the truck came as I wanted it, but took 12 weeks.

And it made me very nervous. I could of boughten one ON A LOT, but everyone of the 100% loaded ones had UGLY brown/tan leather with a poop brown dashboard and fake brown wood. Mine was Phantom grey outside, with 2-tone grey cloth, with all black trim, and a dark grey dashboard. IT LOOKED 1,000,000 % Better then the POOP colors and fake wood.

I don't think you need to worry...

Freak out. Throw a chair through the window, punch a nun, walk around your neighborhood kicking dog walkers, then kick their dogs.
Your order will be fine either way, but it'll make for a great story afterwards.

LOL

I finally got through to the 800# all it said was my car was scheduled for production but had no official production date. I'm going to ignore it for a week and then check on it again. No use driving myself nuts over this.

Dan203 · 04-10-2008, 03:50 AM

OK I lied, I couldn't ignore it for a week. :biggrin:

However I just checked it again and it's now all up to date with the options I ordered. Woo hoo, can't wait for it to go to the next phase.
