Hi All,

My dealer ordered my replacement 525i due to all of the crazy I-drive problems I have been having.

I have been checking on the owners circle site and it says on order. Does anyone know how long it takes from order to production?

Ballpark, 2 months from order placed to driving your new car. Mine was actually 3 days shy of 2 months.

I ordered my 545 on January 21st. Went into production on 3/11. Find out when the car goes into production. Mine will be at port of 4/18. So from production date to port it is about 45 days.

Hope this helps.

The FAQ section has a very detailed timeline. In many cases, your timing will affect the delivery schedule since your dealer might possibly be able to alter an existing order they already have in the pipeline. This happened to me. I ordered my 06 530i Sport on March 12th and my car will hit the port of entry on April 13th. So in all, mine should be about 5 weeks give or take a few days.

I was told he could do that as well. Wanted the extra time to soften the wife up.
