I have been sitting at build code status 150 for weeks. Figured I would share this for anyone interested.

111: Order Accepted at AG
112: Order scheduled for production (Up to this point, you’ll still be able to make changes to your order. Once the order status reaches 150, your vehicle is on the assembly line and can no longer be updated or have changes made).
150: Production started
151: Body shop started
152: Paint shop started
153: Assembly started
155: Production completed
160: Released for distribution
168: In AG stock
170: Waiting workshop
172: Planned for workshop
174: Workshop entry
176: Workshop complete
180: Waiting for export dispatch
181: Waiting for domestic dispatch
182: Scheduled for carrier delivery
190: In transit to the port of exit
191: Returned to BMW AG
193: Arrived at the port of exit
194: Selected for shipment
195: Shipped from the port of exit
196: Shipment arrival

Here is a good U-tube video of the G60 Production line in Dingolfing.

Here's what I don't understand. Another forum member (nt25940) with our build week, has stated they have a VIN, and that their status has advanced to '150'. I was a bit surprised by this, considering production technically doesn't start for another 33+ days. Also, makes me curious about the rhyme/reason behind the process and how it works. lol.

Cars are grouped by color. Because I had Tanzanite Blue, my build week was actually delayed one week. Most people chose a standard color for $650, but any of the premium paints or individual colors will be delayed.

I ordered my car on October 6th 2023
I got my production number on October 11th
Status 150 on October 30th
Final assembly on November 3rd.

I pulled the detail data for my build. As you can see below the car is in Status code 150 (Production Begins).


1. prodVehicleDetails: [{orderStatusCode: "150", overHeadMessage: "Production begins",…}]
1. 0: {orderStatusCode: "150", overHeadMessage: "Production begins",…}
1. "
2. colorCode: "0416"
3. exteriorColor: "Carbon Black Metallic"

The car isn't actually physically being assembled until 151 status. The "production begins" status is a bit of a misnomer. It just means the build is locked and components are being gathered. The assembly line is not until 153 status.

Oh, color! That’s interesting. nt25940 and I have the same color, so it’ll be interesting to see if mine moves along at the same cadence.

Yeah. If you watch the video, there is a lot of paint fog in the air. So I don't think they can run more than one color a day. I think they probably clean the paint heads at the end of the day, and start a different color the next day. I'm not sure how many shifts they are running and if they have different paint lines going at the same time.

But basically I think it all depends on where you are in the queue, and how many cars they paint in a day.
