A VIN is assigned to your car before it goes into final production
Your engine comes from its factory already assigned to your VIN , even before your body has its VIN printed on it

Pardon me for jumping in here on the M5 forum, but I just called the BMW NA contact number Wolverine provided (hat tip, thanks), and my 550 has been built (completed Sep 1) and is on its way to the port. 
So, it does look like BMW has things rolling along solidly and maybe a bit ahead of schedule. Hopefully we will all see our cars a week or so earlier than expected.
