There may be more codes but this should help you out:

Code:
037:Order is at BMW NA
087:Production week assigned
097:Order sent to BMW AG
111:Order accepted at BMW AG
112:Order scheduled for production (last opportunity to make changes)
150:Production started
151:Body shop started
152:Paint shop started
153:Assembly started
155:Production completed
160:Released to distribution
180:Waiting for export dispatch
193:Arrived at port of exit
194:Selected for shipment
195:Shipped from port of exit
196:Shipment arrival - ETA

Where do you get a read out on these codes? I thought Owner's Circle was the only source when you order a car.

There's an 800 number...see below which I cut and pasted from a previous thread...

Also, the 800 number (800-831-1117) is much more up to date than the Owner's Circle website. Just follow the voice prompts and say "Vehicle Production Status" and then say your production number, and the system will return your current status (which is much more granular than the OC, too, like it will say "In Production - Paint Shop," or "In-Production - Final Assembly."

I ordered a 545i yesterday - I was given the produciton number so I logged onto the BMW Owner's Circle and signed in. They (BMW Owner's Circle) list the color as titanium silver, when what I ordered, and what is on the document given to me by the dealer, is titanium grey. Should I worry? Or, based on what I've read on here about the lack of up-to-date, accurate information on BMW Owner's Circle, should I just assume that the color I want has been ordered?

You probably should have the dealer double check to see if the order is correct. You only have a limited time left before changes can be made.

I don't know if Titanium Gray and Titanium Silver are the same so I wouldn't risk it. It's best to double check right away.

Titanium grey is very different to titanium silver.......much much darker, silvergrey is halfway between the two titaniums.

get checking!
