Yeh 335 orders are taking a lot longer than others. there is a thread for 335 orders and you can compare to see how you stack up against other 335 orders.

ordered 3/21
Production number 4/21
Went into production 4/26
Estimated completion date 5/11

SA build. BMW just did a big investment in South Africa and added a third shift for export vehicles to the US and Canada - they were already building Asia cars there. With the EU laws its hard to hire new folks quickly so that makes sense.

The online "track your Vehicle has been right in line with the phone number, not behind at all.

Go My BMW and sign in, then click Add/Remove Vehicle, enter last 7 of VIN or production# then hit continue. There you should see track My BMW on the left. Have fun!

My ED trip feels like such a surreal experience. I even forgot what the car looked like and what the interior felt like. I forgot how it drove now that I am used to my old Honda.

Really, its going to be a new experience again. Only if the damn thing now gets delivered. Last few days have been painful.

One can only read the instructions manual so many times. I am exhausted. I should really start following Buddism. I have become very materialistic.

Don't worry this is very typical once you are this close to final delivery, in a few days you will return to normal and you will smile more often..especially while driving.
