i think it would be good if after one month vw gave you a build date, at least that way you can prepare yourself. Just sitting hear looking at the tracker everyday is killing me haha

Updates seem to be given on Fridays mostly and you wont get a build week until 4 weeks before. Strange thing i noticed is that my build week is the week commencing 17th May which suggests that Sunday is the first day of the week in Germany.

WOAH EVERYONE !!  :grin:

Sounds like you've all been going through what i had...

I ordered mine on the 13th of january 2015
Mine took at least 16-18 weeks to move from with the factory, once you have a build week confirmed that is normally about 4 weeks before.
Mine got built on week 18 (27th april 2015) & it is now in transit & on the ship.
Im looking at the mid to end of may.

Iv ordered;
GTD in carbon grey
With the upgraded alloys
Manual

Shouldn't be too long now !   :undecided:

Sunday is the first day of a build week.

I was told last week by my dealer that I was currently on BW22, I'm guessing that is no longer the case as by the reports above it should have confirmed yesterday on the tracker?

Because the new changes come into force from BW22, eg. bigger sat nav screen for the DNS, keyless as standard etc.
