That clears up a few questions. But why would yours be pushed back? Mine hasn't even hit the production line yet (as of 8/9) and I was quoted 36th week.
You ordered before me I know.

As was said, excellent sleuthing!

My understanding from various sources, including a guy I know who works at BMW Car magazine in the UK, is that it is a two week partial shutdown starting August 1. This is for re-tooling related to the 2007's. As far as I have been told, production for the two weeks has been slowed by about 50% (that's why people got knocked back a week with their production weeks ). On the dealer network end in the US I'm sure they are just coverig their whatnots by giving later or longer dates.

I called yesterday (8/16) and got confirmation that production is still on schedule for week 36'rs. First week in September.
She said production will start in about a week. I've read that from start to finish it takes roughly a week to complete. So the numbers add up if you include the "cover their @$$" time.

I just got my production number, entered it in, and says its on order. I ordered it a week ago. On long island, we dont hack geekiness so theynever bothered giving it to me until I had to ask. I still do not know when its going to be produced. IS there anyway to find out by another means? The website is like in stages and no dates from what I see.

Hassel Mini in Freeport, sunrise highway. saleman - Dennis Miniero.
Car: MC-S, BRG/BRG, Chromeline Exterior, Black leathette seating, Chromeline interior, Anthracite dash/trim, anthracite headliner, stock 16's, LSD, DSC.... hm... that's about it.
I SOoOOOooooo cannot wait to get it. It appears I have to wait for a long or unknown time. I should call that 888 number I guess. Maybe then I can figure on what production week I will be in ?
