BMW NA told me that once production is completed (155), it takes anywhere from 6-8 weeks pending conditions on transport, VPC and your dealer.
Here's a snap-shot of mine which seems to be close to yours.? I based it off of EBMCS03's dates.? Take a look and see if it makes sense.

Where in Owner's Circle do you huys see all the different production steps. This is my 3rd "ordered" BMW but I ahve never been able to see the details. Mine was ordered last week for March ED, the current status is "on order". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The BMW NA number is also updated sooner than the Owner's Circle website. My dealer told me that the Owner's Circle is typically 48 hrs. behind. Which is about right since I had my production number two days before I saw it on the Owner's Circle website.
