Today BMW OC moved my '08 to "scheduled for production" and assigned a VIN. I know I'm scheduled for week 12 which is March 18, but I was wondering who has the earliest build? That would kind of set the pace for the rest of us suffering through our waiting!

Some EU member should win this race (it takes a while this ship the car from the Dingolfing plant in Germany).

I heard the car's will be out in Germay after March the 24th.

Waiting for pics, that means owner pics!

OK you guys with the '08s on order, the numbers are in:

Your dealer can get the invoice pricing if you have a VIN. I have a VIN so I can tell you the invoice prices for the options I ordered:

528i--invoice $40,755
premium package--$2095
sport package--$2550
CW package--$685
xenon headlights--$730
premium sound--$1090
IPod--$365

AND, note that the delivery charge goes up to $775 (I assume for all models)
AND I was told there is some kind of 'training' fee that all dealers have to pay on all cars of $180 (sounds a little strange to me).

Also, they bumped up production for me by about 10 days.

I think our cars will be side by side on the boat--I got the same production start date and end date as you. Where is yours going in the US?

I feel your pain my friend. At least you will have your car by the end of March! Those of us in the US have to wait through a 2 week journey across the pond. Damn!
