A very recent Z8 that I know of spent 16 days in 152 status (paint shop) before heading into 153 status(assembly started). It then spent 4 days in 153 before production was completed. For the record, from 150 (production started) to completion, it took 44 days.
The typical 5 series takes 4 days.

my Z8 is in 152 status.. anyone know what this means?
152 means it has started in the paint shop. The next code is 153 (assembly started). The car will not stay in 153 very long and then go to code 155 (production completed). The car is then prepped for shipping and sent to the port and then shipped.
how long it might be till I get it?
The length of time after assembly completed varies and does depend somewhat on when in relation to the next ship leaves. Once it is on the boat, it takes 2-3 weeks I think to reach the East coast (and a bit longer if it is going to California). Figure around a week or 2 to get thru the port/VPC (depends on where you car is loaded on the ship and how backed up the VPC is in getting cars thru) and then trucked to your dealership.
These are GUESSES if I miss the dates don't kill me ok. :-) Also these are based on shipping to East Coast port (add 2-3 weeks for West Coast shipments).
Optimistic guess based on above: 6 weeks til dealership gets the car.
Pessimistic guess: 12-15 weeks.
