It's one of BMW's many production status codes, which are described here:

It tells the status of the car as it progresses through various stages of being ordered, built, shipped, etc.

You've been waiting so long until you placed your order... A couple more weeks shouldn't be a problem now...

Status: 155 - Production completed

The only thing I'm worried about is that if it's already complete, today is only October 1, but this car is supposed to be Week 40/October production (the first month that MP3 playback is supposed to be enabled on Nav cars, according to BMWNA)...I guess I'll just have to trust that it's October production like they say it is. (Apparently, the production week is determined by the date the car ENDS production.)

I just called, my car is in production for week 40! They told me it should be done by the end of this week.
