I don't think you can determine it yourself. BMWNA or the dealer can type in the last 7 digits or so into their computer and get the exact build date. You can see the build month/year on one of the stickers on the driver's door jamb.

The anticipation is just killing you, isn't it Chappy?

I know the wait is killing me...I found the OC indicates "ENROUTE" and expected delivery on 5-25.
Do you know if that date is the date to the dealer or VPC?

That date is probably an estimated dealer date. The OC is made for the average customer who has no idea what a VPC even is...
