Generally I think cars destined for dealers in the South go to Southampton and those for the North go to Thorne via Immingham. However, I don't think there's a hard and fast rule on that and hence even though you're using a dealer in the South your car could be shipped to Immingham with the dealer then receiving the car from Thorne rather than Southampton. |

I emailed my dealer today for an update and they indicated that he had seen this note from the government and that they are trying to get things arranged as soon as they can. They had previously stated that car deliveries weren't included in what could be delivered so this is different news. They have delivery companies and others to work with so probably not straight forward but at least it's looking a bit more promising. The delivery will be direct from Thorne or Southampton, wherever it is. I'm still thinking mid to late May at best though. Mine will be in the first batch re arranged apparently.

'There is definitely appetite to get things rolling with new restrictions on how the delivery will be executed to the customer' he then talked about doing things as quickly as possible as it's in everyone's Interest. Getting the systems in place with delivery companies may take some time though I guess |

"I know that the logistics company have furloughed most staff and they are not due to return until the second week of May. They may be able to get things moving for the end of May but that could be touch and go". I think the change as a result of the government announcement might therefore be that some logistics staff return to work at the end of their current furlough period rather than it being extended further. However, I don't get the impression BMW are looking to shorten the current furlough period and get people back to work earlier than planned; therefore, from our perspective probably nothing much has changed - might get our cars by the end of May but certainly no guarantee! |

The positive for me is that things look likely to get going as opposed to further delays Some BMW staff, including non management, are still working at my dealership so hopefully even with limited staff they can arrange the deliveries/register cars without new orders coming in. I'm still thinking and hoping for late May. |

I don't know for sure my car is at Thorne, it could be at Southampton as my dealer is in the South? My sales guy wasn't sure when he left work on furlough. It was scheduled for a transporter to him the day of the lockdown sadly. Furloughed staff have to be paid by the company rather than the Government if they work so I am sure the logistics companies won't rush!!!

I did read it - If more articles are appearing in press must mean good news is coming...

Mine at Thorne also. Was due to receive it on 30/3. Contact at BMW has seen all the articles mentioned, but they're at the mercy of staff getting back to Thorne and then delivering. Mine is coming direct to me (not via dealer).
Wonder how long they will sit there before the battery is knackered etc. Be putting it straight on the CTEK when it does arrive... |

That wouldnt surprise me Bmwnewbie2. Demand is massively down and will remain so for a while, I can see the admin aspect of BMW getting upto speed quiclkly to shift stock they have already to get some revenue in. Factory orders would then start being built a few week after the admin side. To be fair most of the factories have taken this opportunity to carry out upgrades, so it could be that the upgrades could be taking longer than anticipated.
Im hoping things start getting better soon so Lex can sort my order out! |

No idea. And now not scheduled at all for production. It is a 330e which do have longer lead in times I believe.
