I'm in the process of ordering a 3 series. My dealership just emailed me and said that BMW is cancelling the German builds and only shipping builds form the Mexican plant right now. Has anyone heard anything similar?

I was told the same thing for a M340i... not sure if I believed it or not but based on the cancellation and unknown timing I went with something on the lot at another dealer about 5 hours away.

In all honesty it doesn’t really matter - german engineered, German parts, put together in Mexico. I guess I was just hoping if I was custom ordering one anyway, might as well get every last ridiculous detail tailored to me haha. Just wondering what some other folks on this forums thoughts are - do you guys care where the car is built? |

So it might not just be a US thing. Personally I'm not worried where it is built. A BMW is a BMW and comes with a warranty anyway so not worth worring about too much. |

Just got confirmation from my dealer that my M340i xDrive build has been moved to the Mexico plant. Does anyone know if cars get to the US any quicker from Mexico than Germany? I would assume they do, but who knows...

I was just told by my local dealer that they don't have any build slots right now. Most likely won't until MY2021 change over. Don't know when that will be. Now the question is will rebate offers be honored.....

Just cancelled my 2020 custom build that I placed in April. GM of my dealer basically stated that most builds that aren't in production are being cancelled or delayed until the 2021 build in Mexico. Essentially confirmed from NA BMW Corporate with the two folks that I spoke to over the phone
I prefer a German made M340i. Just went over 20 different builds in the US. Finally found one in Utah. He stated that BMW will most likely cover transport fee as an inconvenience. PS....also fired my CA as he took 2 months to figure out what the GM did for me in 20 minutes. Not sure who will be my new CA as the GM and I did the negotiating this morning and handshaking.... |

Had a feeling things were going that way. I’m also assuming based on other info I’ve read on these forums that all the 330s for the US were shifted to Mexico several months back. I guess I’m just the first person ridiculous enough to specify that request with my dealership and they didn’t realize till they tried to put my order through. If that’s the case I’ll probably settle for one they have on the lot that looks almost exact to my build but was built in Mexico. Maybe I can get them to take a little more off |

Does anyone know if Munich production is back up and running? Our car was supposedly already in the production line somewhere when it was shut down, and on My BMW Garage site it still lists as "production started".....no movement since 3/5.

Yes it’s back on production but I’ve seen nothing on what’s been prioritized in terms of models.

OK. Since I am an Individual order I figured it would be Priority 1. But maybe they had to start over? Who knows. Just called the Genius hotline and they are expecting it to be completed on June 22. That is nearly a month! WTF?
