The wait is killing me. I placed the initial order back in early June, but have since received a new production number after delays with the first production number I received (Germany build).

At least my current lease doesn't end until February, so that shouldn't be an issue. I was more so looking forward to getting some warm weather driving in before winter hits up here in the Northeast.

I know the struggle I was in a similar situation, I ordered mine back in early May and 2 months go by and I'm messaging my CA every week asking for updates and in the 2nd week of July he tells me it's canceled. (I believe he never ordered it to begin with but that's another conversation)

I had a C43 but my lease ended earlier this month I was very impatient especially because I don't have a car right now but I don't need it since I'm working from home and here in NYC everything is still shut down so I'm not missing much.

I hope the September incentives are better if not I'm even open to having my delivery delayed until October, the start of a new quarter incentives should be better.

And the ships come and then they leave Bremerhafen. And over a month later my car still sits at the dang port.

Figured out what is taking so long. Apparently there is a recall to be done before it's allowed on a ship.

Anybody with a '21 M340i knows anything about the recall?

[Laylo21]

Picked up my 21’ M340i on Monday. Only terrible shot I have �� currently getting PPF, Tints and coating. Not sure how I feel about not being able to turn off the Auto start/stop. Then again always have it in sport/+ anyway. Will get some shots after the detailing is done.

Congrats! Looks great!

Consider yourself lucky. Our cars basically started production in the same week. Then mine did a 3-4 week pit stop in quality control. Don't know what that was about? And now it's still sitting at the port in Germany waiting for a mystery recall?

[newm340nj]

I'm in the same boat as everyone else it seems. 2021 m340ix from mexico has been ready for transport for the last 2 weeks.. ugh!!

[warrenw]

What is this about no disabling auto start /stop?

Also, I heard all US spec get built in the same week for the Germany builds, next possible week for that is in October... And that's where I'm stuck at with my build date.

I spent a decent amount of time today digging into the settings looking for the spot to turn off the auto start / stop. No luck.

103 degrees today and you can feel it in the AC when stopped.

Mine also got sent to quality control for about 3 weeks so I feel your pain. Both my SA and I were left in the dark as to why it was there.

When I got my car it had a very small curb rash that they fixed and re painted so I'm guessing that was part of it. That and any port installed parts slow down the process. Hope this helps!

Yup. I spent the one day I had with it trying to find a way, came up with nothing. :/

I *believe* you can code the ASS "memory" with the BimmerCode app.

Also, put me in the "my car is stuck waiting for transport" boat.

Question for ya, does it turn of when in a sport/+ mode ?

Yes. Anything other than comfort and eco, it stays off completely. Not a big deal since I’m usually in some form of sport mode 95% of the time. But still would like the option.

Ohh ok that's good to hear I got a little worried like what if I'm doing spirited driving Lol I was reading from people who taken delivery on the LCI 5 series saying it's much smoother and you don't really feel the start/stop do you feel that is true on the m340 ?

[Dw85]

The start stop is very subtle I don't feel it at all. The other day it was 100+ and the Motor stopped you could feel the AC immediately get warmer. As soon I got moving the AC went back to cool. But the engine itself you don't feel at all.

Has anyone had their new order released from "Ready for Transport" purgatory over these last couple of weeks? Mine's been in there since 8/20. Kind of hoping I don't have to wait another week or two, although I know some were sitting for several weeks.

Just wondered if any 2021 MY cars have been put on ships since 8/20.

[newm340nj]

Nope, in the same boat as you ! Mine has been ready for transport since 8/13

Mine has been sitting since 8/14 in Ready to Transport.

I called the Genius number yesterday and he said the transport from SLP to the ports have been running very slow and running half capacity.

There was nothing he saw as far as a recall, I know it was mentioned earlier in the thread.

[Casone238]

With this information I would suspect another 2-3 weeks which leads me to believe people with dealership deliveries are going to be towards end of September and PCD first or second week of October
