This waiting is getting painful.

It didn;t hurt a year ago with the 02 330i b/c I didn;t track the car on the Owner's Circle.

It didn;t hurt with the 01 Z3 b/c the car was sitting on the lot.

But waiting for the replacement for the 330i is painful.

Anyone else out there?

Our 5/17 thread got washed away on the 3 Series board so we may as well start fresh here.

I was 112 status as of Thursday. Hopefully things will change this week.

Indeed, the thread did get washed away...
This is probably a more appropriate venue anyhow.

My car went status 150 yesterday, and showed up on the Owner's Circle today as scheduled for production. I also just ordered a V1 to upgrade from my last detector, it should arrive tomorrow.

The wait is rough, but at least it's something to look forward to.

Hadn't checked for a couple of days, but called and just found out my future 330i attained status 152 (paint shop)! Another step closer!

Do you also have a 5/17 production date? You're a good week or two in advance of mine. Consider yourself fortunate.

 

[GI330i]

I do have a week 20 production allocation. The dealer as well as the Owner's Circle site has the car listed as a 5/17 production. We'll see if the fact that the car is "ahead of schedule" lead to an earlier delivery date.

You guys aren't doing so bad. I've been on an M3 waiting list since the end of January and just got production number on Monday. I've got it all set up on the Owners Circle, it's speced OK. It was first given a June 28 production date, but changed to June 21 yesterday. That's some progress. I'm going to get my 328Ci ready for sale, but I've still got to wait til July. The next step will be to make the Performance Center delivery arrangements.

I'm still at 150 status as of today.
Hope that changes soon-

 

[GI330i]

Any newsregarding your vehicles with a 5/17 date? I checked today and my vehicle is status 183 (released to the carrier). BMWNA states that it is on its way to the outbound port.

 

[RChoudry]

status 190 today!

 

[Andawyr]

I'm on a week 20 schedule, which I assume is a 05/17 production date. That's what I've seen thrown around here...

Stage 150 as of yesterday. I do my best to call my sales rep only on Fridays

Speaking of which, do you think I could call BMWNA with my Canadian product/vin numbers? If so, what's the 1-800 number?

151 as of 5/14/02

You should try calling 800-831-1117 x 3 and give them your production number - see if they have it in their system- hope they do!

Rchoudry- congrats on the speedy build process! You must have a few "connections"

 

[RChoudry]

yeah.

This is our third one. I hope somebody recognizes where it's going!

I can't wait for delivery!

I hope so to - then I can harass them daily :thumb:

I try and keep calls to my sales guy down - granted, I've given him/dealership a whack of cash, but I really don't like bugging him every day. Once a week's enough.

However, a faceless droid on the other end of a phone line? All bets are off!

Andawr,

Does the headlamp washer option come standard in Canada? I didn't see it on your list of goodies.

What other options are you interested in? Fiest-aid kit, pedals, etc..?

Yeah, it's standard. Go here and select 'specifications' - it'll give you the full list.

It amazes me how different the standard options are between Canada and the US. What the US folks consider options we get as standard. Other options are offered in Canada that aren't available south of the 49th.

I wonder why that is? :dunno:

I think the only option I'd consider right now is new pedals - the plastic ones are...unremarkable. I'm getting the ///M steering wheel with the car, but that would have been a definite upgrade - I like the nice thick wheel.

As for other stuff? We'll have to see. The new car is my first BMW, so I really don't know what I'll want to change - most likely, I'll be perfectly happy with it :thumb:

Just tried calling BMWNA - no dice. I guess they really don't have access to Canadian production numbers.

Make you wonder why they're called BMW North America :dunno:

Anyone else stuck in 153 status with a 5/17 production date?
