Well my ED is scheduled for May 8 and my production week was 4/3. But I received notice from BMW that Im now scheduled for production week 17 April 24,, completed less than 1 week before my ED pickup date.
This delay is due to the Nightvision supplier to get parts to BMW. It was supposed to start with MY07 on March 1, but now nightvision has been pushed back to week 17.
My car will be done less than one week before I arrive in Munich for pick up. I hope the paint is dry.
I placed my order on Feb 11th. talk about a long wait. I won't have this car at my home until late June.

My car is either in Charleston or on a truck, and it was ordered with NightVision. Have not heard that there was any delay or issue completing the build as ordered. Guess I'll know soon enough.

I have not confirmed my options with BMW. I'll try to do tomorrow and report back.
You are the 1st besides myself to go the Nightvision route.
Congrats you almost have your car. Please keep me updated.
Thanks

Maybe there were only enough parts for one build? 
If your build is being delayed, it must be due to issues with the feature. I've waited for two years to order a BMW, waiting for all the software issues, etc. to be worked out. Then I go and order this brand new technology!

I called BMW, and Night Vision was not included on my car. The guy didn't know whether or not it can be retrofitted, etc. It sounded like it was a ways away from being available.
