Best of luck!

Appreciate you, thanks.

Are all pertinent systems up and running? DCS & TIS, etc?

Glad you missed it.

Is there a Stop Sale affecting the M240? The only info I could find was regarding the M2. I'm still sitting in final assembly, figured I was being impatient...should I be worried??

The faulty Knock Sensor is used in the B46, B48, B58, B58TU, and S58 engines. So, yes it could absolutely cause Stop Sales in the G42. Hopefully not, of course.

Everything is good on my end!

Dealer called me again this morning. Car still at Southampton and doesn't know when it will turn up at their emporium in the leafy suburbs of the great metropolis. That's 66 days and counting since production was completed. Remind me to order a model built in Germany next time.

Im at the port with ya! You’ll probably get yours a day or two before I do, since I’d imagine they’ll drop off in IN before they get up here to WI. Best of luck! Hopefully they get on their way this week!

I’ve also been stuck in “Quality Check” for 10 days or so. I did the developer tools in chrome and it shows code 155: production completed.

[G42 Pilot]

For you West Coast people:
Ordered my M240i Xdrive almost fully optioned at the end of Feb, order accepted end of March. Build week 22. Car finished on the 31st of May.
I was watching the Aries Leader, she was at anchor off the coast of Port Lazaro Cardenes for 4 days. She was scheduled to arrive on the 4th of June. After 4 days she spent 4 days in port.
From several calls to the Genus line, BMW doesn't really have exposure where the cars are at once they leave the factory until they are on the ship. The next update they get is 2 days after the ship departs the port.
One person on the Genus Line told me that Mexico is very slow in updating information.
I got very lucky, after only 11 days after production my car is on the Aries Leader.

[PBANDJ]

Called BMW Genius today to see if they could provide any details on progress. Just stated as of now it has missed the production completion expectation by a week, but could not provide any details on why its missed the completion date but provided some examples of possible issues, like parts shortage, etc. I was hoping the website was just lagging behind and my car was done, but sounds like that’s not the case…. Just chilling in the factory partially completed with no ETA.

[G42 Pilot]

I was talking to my sales guy the other day, he said before COVID, on dealer ordered cars for inventory, when it got close to the model year end. Their ordered cars at times would come with options they didn't order. The factory would add items to just get rid of the parts. He had a name for it, I just can't remember, he would get cars that had items that where not included or available with a certain package but there it was. I find that interesting.

I’ve heard of this happening, but it’s normally near then end of a models run, either right before a model refresh or a new generation entirely. For example, a lower trim has a 6” screen on the head unit but the higher trim has an 8” screen. If they have orders to fill of the lower trim but are out of the 6” screens, it’s far cheaper to use the in-stock 8” screen than to source a 6” head unit on a soon to be discontinued model. Not likely to happen on a 23/24 G42 since there appears to be little to no changes between the model years.

Well they’re doing the opposite with the new X1s. They are forcing no-option black X1s into dealers without things like heated seats but adding a $3500 “Off Road” package that’s just all terrain tires and different wheels. I think there’s a real supply issue with some parts on the X1 so this is their way to just get some built.

I'm still stuck in Final Assembly. Called yesterday and it's still waiting for transport to the port (2 weeks now). I imagine, we'll be on the same boat (hopefully, and hopefully soon). Just spending my days checking the status, lol.

Lucky you guys can check status. We from Europe can only wait and hope that the dealer calls us with some good news.
