Bubble in the Factory Pipeline?

I have a car on order (3587xxx) with the USB iPod option, and the car went into production earlier this week! Of course, the USB iPod isn't available until March production, and according to the nice BMWNA rep, that option shows as "blocked" on my vehicle inquiry report.

It seems like there must be a lot of March-build cars, and the factory must have decided to pull a few ahead of their scheduled build time. Do you think that's what happened? My car's color is blue, by the way.

Interesting. I requested wk 11 poduction only to find out that the car will be completed next Monday (358XXX). I don't have any high expectation on getting the updated Nav though (if you ordered new ipod thing, it should be incorporated for sure).

Well, all signs point to the rule about March changes being unchanged, which means that if your car is not built in March, then you don't get the changes. My iPod option is definitely gone. Not that I'm complaining; I wanted to delete it anyway. I am just curious about how this move-up happened.
