When's the last time you called? I wonder if it's even worth calling anymore.

I usually e-mail BMW Genius; they usually get back to you pretty quickly; I find it a lot less frustrating then dealing with my CA or the phone.

I called yesterday. I think it may have been an answering service company. The person said he can only relay information from the BMW tracker. So extremely frustrated.

They stopped responding to my emails entirely.

I picked up my car today and asked the dealership how it was that I got the car so fast. They told me that an allocation starts at status 111. Sometimes the dealer will order a specific build to be delivered to the dealership before it is actually sold to a customer. Those can go into status 112 which is scheduled for production but hasn't started yet. The build can still be modified in 112.

My car was in status 112 when I walked into the dealership and ordered. It was going to actually start production any day. They changed it to my spec and it started production the next day. I believe they said that is status 150. Once it's in status 150 it cannot be modified.

Most people get an allocation in status 111 and that is a longer wait than getting one in 112.

It's approaching 9 weeks now with no movement from quality check! Five months now since the order was accepted. No sign in sight on when my car will be delivered let alone move from quality check.

Same. It's incredibly frustrating. It's for sure too late for delivery in January. Will it be February? March? April? 2022 at all?

I signed up to buy this car because of an immediate, available allocation back in October. There will approach a time where it'll be worth ordering the M2, even if it means resetting the clock on the order. This wait is not commensurate with the value of the car.

It's definitely not commensurate with the value of the vehicle. The risk of putting in an order for an M2 will still be delays based on microchip shortage.

Been in "Ready for Transport" since 12/23. My CA said I'm still looking at another 4-6 weeks until delivery. I'm hoping it doesn't take that long. I originally ordered on 10/29

[Retrospaz85]

I literally asked, what is the min-max range I'm looking at when ordering this car and I was told 2-6 months..and thats what I set my mindest on. Everyone thats like "I'll just get another car If I don't see this one soon"....if you don't want the car that bad why did you even order it in the first place?? I get this sucks, but manage expectations :P

I'm in this wait for however long it takes. It's the lack of information and movement that is frustrating. Was the 2-6 months from the time the order was accepted at the manufacturing plant?

Mines built and been in port in the US since 11/9 with no estimate of when it might ship. I was excited for the car, but also it worked out because my lease expired in September and this car was supposed to arrive in November. Call me a whiner, but I understand how easy it is to get frustrated and impatient waiting.

Ugh that would kill me! Do you know what it is that they are waiting for, do you have a stop sale or something like that?

My car is in QC, after being delayed about 7 weeks. Not sure when it will be out of QC. There is another car that I have been tracking, it went into production on 1 December and has been sitting at ready for transport for a couple weeks.

I won't be as patient with this car as I was for my M3, if it gets delayed to where I would take delivery after the winter is over then I'll cancel it and then wait till you can order a 2023 and get that in time for next winter. I'm hoping that the "new instrument panel" doesn't mean iDrive 8 and that ugly 1 piece thing. But I would like to be able to get the M Sport Pro Package if that means M Seat Belts.

I get that it's the entire supply chain/manufacturing shortage problems but it really is getting old having everything be delayed, delayed, delayed. Even the new house that I am having built has been delayed months. That 6-7 month build time has moved to almost 12 months at this point. Makes me wish I could just walk away from that without losing any deposit money.

Nothing like that. The car is supposed to have received some "minor damage" in port and they are waiting for a grille. Seems odd that it takes 2 months to get a grille, or they couldn't ship the car and have the dealer do the repair. I wonder what the real story is...

The supply chain issues are getting old, and I'm sure everyone will agree. I don't think we'll see much relief this year, but hopefully by 23 things will start to ease.

Update on delivery delay. Received information that my vehicle is built but is waiting for the infotainment unit. Other vehicles are in a similar situation. Was informed that once the part comes in then the next vehicle in line will be taken care of. However, they could not tell me where my vehicle is in the queue.

Mine has been waiting to get on a vessel from what the genius told me. So hopefully that happens soon! I ordered this back in September and received the production number the same day. It's been a very long wait.

Did they give an ETA for the unit? I have a feeling your and my cars are collecting dust side by side.

They didn't give me an ETA. Very good chance they are next to each other waiting for a brain from the Great Powerful Wizard of Oz! lol

I am also located in the Philly area and my car is sitting at ready for transport. Hopefully they can fill up a vessel soon!!

It sounds like all of our cars were built in a similar timeframe and many are waiting for the RAM. My guess is that BMW didn't want to sell so many units without satellite / HD radio (and potentially loose $500 a unit) and took a chance they'd have the modules to install at the VPC which may have required holding them at the factory a little longer than usual.

I already agreed not to have the satellite / HD radio, so I don't think that's the issue with mine.

It's approaching 10 weeks now and my car is still at quality check. If only there was a way to use the jedi mind trick to move this car further down the production process.
