You are well ahead of my car then this week as I haven't had any updates as yet.

How have you received such specific detail, is that from the text service to which you can subscribe?

Where do you get that build stage info from - I have obviously missed something!

A piece of interesting information. My friend has a new Golf match with a build week of this week, and I have an R on order due to be built next week.  My friend received a tracker update (and confirmed by chatting to VW) saying that his car is now built and in transit.  Apparently they are running a week early with car builds.
That is very interesting. My car was down for build week 22 but arrived in UK at the end of the following week - which would seem to back that up as I could not understand how they built and shipped it so quickly.

Now the interesting thing is - will it have the BW 22 changes on it if it was actually built in BW21? I will find out next week!
