your dealer can see and provide. But in US you guys have better visibility through bmwusa site you can follow production progress (it won't tell the status code perhaps) below codes I copy pasted from another BMW forum I assume it is accurate.

Indeed.
In the USA you can track your status by the VIN number and I think also with the order number.
in Europe, It's only dealer who can see it.
Beside the fact that status 150 has been reached, and chassis is ready, also the other parts of the car needs to be delivered before assembling.
For the iX it seems that it takes about 2 weeks, other models could be faster.
If some parts are missing in the delivery chain, then it can takes more time.
I asked regularly the status by my dealer asking him "If there is a chassis in the warehouse or a car on the parking?"
Hope this explanation I got helps the community.

My car’s status just went backwards. It was in a “Scheduled For Production” status, with a production date of March 6, and now is in an “Order Received” status. Car was just moved from production date of March 6 to a production date of May 1.

I fear that aluminium is the problem. Ukrain is one of the biggest producers of aluminium. It has stopped due to war. The iX chasis is in aluminium.

I ordered mine in March. Still haven’t received any notice at all. Paid 5k down with order.
