Finally there is the anticipation of welcoming it in the middle of a raging pandemic in other parts of the world.
Yep, I know exactly what you mean and are going through.
I ordered my car in Nov 2019, and asked for a Jan 2020 build date.
It was delivered 3rd April..........basically 5 months from order to delivery (but 2 of those months at my instruction).
The worst time is after it has docked in Australia and waiting on Customs, Prixcar and PDI. The excitement and frustration build in equal amounts!
But it’s all worth it in the end when you drive that shiny beast out of the dealership for the first time!

I’ve also ordered mine from interstate, so I have the added complication of needing to guess when it’ll get here and book flights to drive it home.

On the bright side... what better way to welcome the new wheels than a drive along the great ocean rd to get home??

Oh yeah! What a road!
What a fantastic way to break-in the new beast.
You will absolutely love it!

I ordered my 440 in mid Jan was informed the build date would be Feb, it then slid right to mid March, then 2 weeks to 4 April, now a further 6 week delay. No reason supplied by the dealer however, I have read BMW did stop production due to supply shortages, not sure length of the storage. Also the Ukrain war is having an effect, I believe neon as well as metals used in the catalytic converter come from there, also wireing harness’s come from there.
