I am tracking an order placed around 12-12 on Owner's Circle and OC has shown the car as Scheduled for Production for the past two weeks but has not given a date. In reading other posts about OCOT, I am led to believe that OCOT will show a production date.
What info should I expect to see on OCOT?

Not much
It runs up to a week behind
They do not update often
And just what you see
in production, awaiting transport, en route, etc
For up to date info call the dealer - they actually have the production codes and are only a day behind

And it can run even more than a week behind. The OC still said Awaiting Transport the day my car arrived at the dealership. dgjk is right, pester your salesperson. They can get you the most up to date info. There is also a toll free number to BMWNA that can get you info that is ususally better than OC, but your dealer/salesperson is the best bet.

For my European Delivery, the tracking in OC was totally useless. It was never right, not even close, and more than a year later it still shows my car is in the Vehicle Delivery Center!

Sorry Biff_Trout, didn't even notice you were from New Orleans! Never saw a production date on the OC when I was tracking my car. But that was two years ago, maybe they've upgraded the capabilities of the website.

kscarroll,
Did not notice you were from NOLA either.
Agree that life in NOLA can be downer at times but I have seen signifcant signs of "bootstrapping up" in the past several weeks.
Was speaking with a client today about how on 8-30, we seemed to be standing on the edge of an abyss where both the bottom and the other side were too distant to see. Lots of progress has been made since then and recovery is beginning to take hold with the abyss shrinking to a hole with visible boundaries.
My heart goes out to everyone rich, middle of the road, and poor who have suffered the worst. It is difficult to imagine what they are going through.
Finally, with regard to the US Army Corps of Engineers (inappropriately acronym'd USACE), it must be nice to never be wrong. -- DELETED -- This paragraph originally went on for 10 more lines, but most of my anti-USACE rant would be appreciated only by those of us who live here and have watched USACE attempt to deflect well-deserved outrage and criticism.
Thanks for the info. I will check with Peake.
BTW, if you know anyone who wants an 03 540i-6spd with M-Sport and 27k miles, PM me.

I would suggest other than dealer to call BMW directlky at 800-831-1117 provide them your prod number and they can give you really good updates up until the car boards the ship.
