This is for sales figures, and then they are told when the customer chases after production fails to happen on time to then give the usual blurb of “sorry, delays in chips and manufacturing” knowing full well they have the upper hand.
When I mentioned bad business and just peeing off customers he agreed, but that’s what they’ve been told to still get new sales.
Take that as you will. Just what I was told when we caught up in general and talking cars.
@op - regardless, BMW are not the only ones. I know it must be painful but the wait will be worth it long run. I’m really inpatient trust me, so easy for me to say as I would cancel and buy one available now. But Ive also lost loads on cars so I’m nothing to go by lol…… hang in there mate

Interesting and very believable unfortunately
If it were not for the ridiculous second hand prices and over inflated pcp interest rates I might have been tempted to look at used but I also know now that I couldn’t get the deal I have now if I were to cancel and reorder elsewhere.
Looks like I am in it for the duration and hoping for a miracle.
