My Ride: E60
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I ordered my E60 yesterday here in the U.S.
My car is currently scheduled for week 8 production (last week of Febrary).
* Anyone know how long it takes to usually receive the VIN?
* Do you know (based on your experience) how long it takes from start of production to "ready for pick up" at the dealer?
The dealer told me 6 weeks, but I'm guessing that they may be "over promising". That just sounds quick to be built and then shipped across the pond and then shipped to California (where I live).
Thanks all! I'm so excited...

I immediately got my Production number just after I ordered it. At what point do you receive the VIN?
Some time before Production (How long before?), during Production, or sometime thereafter?
Thanks all...

My order is scheduled for production on Feb 10. My VIN showed up on the Owner's Circle on Jan 29, 12 days before production. Its status also changed from "On Order" to "Scheduled or In Production".
