I chased it up at the start of July and was told that it had a build scheduled and that it should only take a few weeks. It turned up at the dealer first week in August and I was due to get it 13th before all this kicked off. So with a fair wind they could do it relatively quickly.... |

Same here! Mine was ordered Jan with May delivery delayed to end of July because of Covid. In the dealer early Aug then delivery halt put on it two weeks ago. Some colleagues have had their 330e delivered in Aug and some of us on stop. It's annoying as it's gone on ages now and I'm not benefitting from the reason I ordered one.

I keep checking my VIN number on the BMW recall site and so far no change, maybe when it does things will progress rapidly. The most annoying part is not knowing whether to put more fuel in a car, that I could be handling back the following day! Also keeping the contents of my boot in bags, in anticipation of it needing to go back at short notice and empty. |

When they confirmed that this would drag on into September, they realised that it would need a new 70 plate reg number, I’ve now had this. Just hoping that this doesn’t drag on much longer otherwise it will end up on a 21 plate! You should be able to get the VIN number from the dealer, I did. It was also in the original delivery advice email from the lease company, shown as the chassis number. For anyone not aware you can check your VIN/Reg number here; https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/footer/quic...e-recalls.html About to try and get some sense from BMW UK customer services, wish me luck! |

Just a quick question, does your VIN number (if you have it) now show anything on the Recall website? Just trying to second guess whether there is any point in me pestering the dealer, or whether I will get the same heads up by just checking the recall checking website. |

My lease company ALD are pretty clueless, but just after ordering I had a call from the dealer they’d assigned it to. That’s where I originally got my VIN number from. |

Thanks and presumably it did previously?
Sounds like I can save my time ringing the dealer chasing and just keep an eye on the recall site. Had a call with BMWUK customer services this morning, gleaned nothing useful from it other than several cups of “tea and sympathy”. Had the ability to check messages on screen for my VIN number, but no clues as to status or timescales. Also nothing confirmed or denied about whether tests could be done at dealer, or needing to be taken to a central location. |

Hazzer20 My order was placed around the same time as yours, my wasnt even put onto the system till late June. My delivery date to dealer initially was mid December, last week i was given a revised date of mid November. Im half hoping they can shave another couple of weeks off. Mine is a company car ordered through Lex.
My current car was meant to go back today, but hey ho in the whole scheme of things its no biggie. |

Yep UK bud. Famous last words but i dont see any issue with delivery times for cars built later on, it was inevitable that issues were going to pop up for the 1st lot of cars built after C-19.
