Production status and days

[jaygopinathan]

My dealer gave me this on last week of February. It is a 2022 S1000XR M Sport Low with all options and packs.



Does that mean production started on first week of March or 9th of March? It is still in 150 as of today when he checked. With current scenarios can it be expected by mid of April?

Looks to me like it means that production was scheduled on the 9th of March.

I thought the 9th Week of 2022. Otherwise why say "WK"?

 

[jaygopinathan]

From various threads and forums (including MOA) it should be 9th week (not date 9th) , 3rd month of 2022, which should be any day between 1st - 4th of March, but I could be wrong. Still wondering how long usually it takes to complete 150 (production) and eventually reach here. If it is not here before April last week I need to adjust so many things and travel plans!

Our 2022 R1250RSs took 7 weeks to arrive in Kansas City after they were made.
One one in Colorado received his 2022 GS 6 weeks after it was made.
One guy in Kansas City had a 2022 RS made 8 weeks ago and has not received it.

How to Order & Track Your New BMW

I posted this back in 2016. Another member who worked at a BMW dealership added some edits as well.

Ordering a BMW car and motorcycle essentially works the same way:

1. Dealer receives production allocation for a certain model. The number of allocations is based, in part, on previous sales at that dealership.

2. Dealer places order for their inventory or for a specific customer using the BMW computer ordering system (I believe it's called DealerSpeed). There is a priority "field" on the Vehicle Inquiry Status order form that indicates the status. Highest priority is "1-Customer Sold." This tells BMW there's a customer waiting for the bike/car. Other priority numbers, such as "3-Priority Stock" indicates it's for the dealer's inventory.

3. After placing the order, the bike or car is assigned a unique Production Number and production week. When I ordered my 2014 RT on February 5, it was scheduled to be built that last week of February. And the dealer provided me with a printout to show the bike was built as scheduled on February 28.

4. About a week after it was built, the bike's status changed to "In Transit To Warehouse." The dealer's computer then indicated the exact container ship that would carry the cargo to New Jersey. You can track the ship's progress (Google Marine Traffic).

5. My 2014 RT arrived in New Jersey in mid-April and was delivered to me on April 24.

6. Total time from build date to delivery about 8 weeks.

After the shock recall, I chose Option 4 and sold my 2014 back to BMW, and ordered a 2015 RT on July 8 (he had just received 2 allocations).

I watched as my salesperson input my order and immediately received a unique Production Number. My 2015 RT order indicated status code 111, which means the ordered was accepted by BMW. Changes are allowed until the bike goes into status code 150 (in production). Ordering a BMW auto works the same way.

My 2015 RT is due in New Jersey port on Sep 20. Once is clears customs, it will be released for truck shipping and should arrive at my dealer in about 10 days.

When I ordered my 2014, my dealer showed me how to track the truck on the DHL website:

https://dhli.dhl.com/dhli-client/publicTracking?7

In the "Search By" drop-down menu, select "Customer Ref Number"

Then input your VIN. It's case sensitive, so use capital letters.

You should be able to track the shipment, assuming that it's coming via DHL.

Hope this helps. If your salesperson doesn't have a clue on how bikes "magically" arrive at his dealership, perhaps it's time to change dealers.

If you have a bike on order, your salesperson can easily check its progress, based on standard BMW codes, as follows (based on auto production, but most still apply):

0 Order deleted by NA
17 Order not Specified
37 Order is at BMW NA
87 Production Week Assigned
97 Order sent to AG
100 Order deleted by AG

172 Planned for Workshop
174 Workshop Entry
176 Workshop Complete
180 Waiting for Export Dispatch
181 Waiting for Domestic Dispatch
182 AG Load No. — Released to Carrier
190 Dispatched ex(port?) BMW AG
191 Returned to BMW AG
193 Arrived at Port of Exit (where my car was stalled)
194 Selected for Shipment
195 Shipped from Port of Exit
196 Shipment Arrival — ATA

Thanks everyone. So if it completes build this week (assuming it started at least by 4th of March - 9th week), I could expect it by last week of April or first week of May, at the best I guess. now waiting for 150 to change...

I did not see the complete list of codes with dates on our bikes. I had taken for granted that when it started production it was completed in a day or two.
Your dealer should be able to give you the date it was built if it's built.
You can also get the VIN from the dealer and use a VIN decoder to get the date.

Thanks Lee, I already go the VIN on Feb last week when it was moved to 150 and dealer sent me the above document. I dont know how to find the month / date from it. Searching. Some site says for US, month is not included in the VIN.

I heard from few sources production is paused. There is a thread in the RR forum that some dealers confirmed it and someone's XR is not coming soon.

Bmw forced to pause production at European plants

My bike finally completed production after almost 6 weeks and in status 190 now. So now fell into the shipping delays, but at least I am relieved that the parts / production delay phase is over.
