I ordered a 2005 330xi Aug 10th and recieved a production number before leaving the dealership. It has been 1 looooooooong week checking the status of the car. It recieved a 112 status code which I'm told means the dealer had a car in queue for 2005.

Can I get some feedback on how long each phase took? After 1 week I was expecting to move into the "Scheduled for Production" phase.

Also when will the factory specifics show up on the order detail? Right now it only shows model and colors.

Expect it to be available aproximately 2 months after the order goes in. That covers manufacture and transport to the US.

The actual production of the car takes about a week, from stamping the metal to putting on the finishing touches.
