I am Prod Number 39151XX and set for pickup at 9:00am on 9/3. Not sure how much margin for error/delay they allow, but it seems that all of the early ED cars should be in production now/very soon....
BMWUSA.com shows me NOT in production, but I hope I am... |

I have a lower # but still 112.
I guess ours will be "hot off the press" ? As long as she is ready in a robe in the am on 9/1, it'll be OK with me :-)

I agree with BarryB. As long as its ready is all that matters. My car is supposed to be done by 8/22 so I wonder if I could pick up early since I will be in Munich a few days early. Outside of a hard release date of 9/1 I can't see why not. It would save them money and remove liability for them having to store the car

If they are all on vacation then why is the Welt scheduling ED's for the end of August?

I talked to my CA yesterday as well. Still 112 with a week 34 build slot for a 9/1 ED delivery.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say the production numbers are assigned sequentially as orders come in, but the actual production is done in batches with like color or similarly equipped cars getting grouped together to improve efficiency of the production line.
