Have written to BMW ceo so let’s see if bmw are customer focussed and reply.
If anyone else wants to complain about lack of communication and transparency on continual slipping of orders then this is the contact Chris.Brownridge@bmw.co.uk Edit…don’t have an issue with delays as such as I understand the difficulties, I do have an issue with poor communication hence communication |

Salesman sent me an email last night but was saying wait to see what happens over the next few days / next week as it may settle down and come forwards again. I will be checking in with the Genius every couple of days though to see what happens next.

I think you're wasting your time, not least because all the dealers are franchises, other than Park Lane.

I do fear 'Xenon's' response above is the most likely you'll receive from BMW however certainly based on my personal past experiences. Still there's no harm in trying to elicit some information because it's no good the dealers saying things like 'leave it a few days and check again' or 'things might change next week', yes they may well do in these turbulent times but in which direction? My enquiries yesterday whilst not as positive an outcome as I had hoped to be able to relay to you guys did reveal the fact that vehicles are still coming through albeit in a somewhat random fashion in relation to the ordering timelines. Don't give up hope and don't defect to any rival manufacturers my information suggests other makers are in just as 'bad' a position, some even worse. |

Other manufacturers are indeed in similar positions. I tried to order a generic Skoda Octavia for one of our reps the other week - no special electronic gizmos (other than it being a mild-hybrid) and was told September 2022 at the earliest.

Thanks! Appreciated!
I really do feel for all of you who are waiting for your new cars it must be soul destroying, if it was me in that position I'd probably be heading for a second divorce in the same lifetime! I sold my F32 440i to a forum member in mid March this year on the promises from our local dealer that they would supply me a car by April/early May at the latest. By the time we got into April it was obvious they had undelivered on expectations so I cancelled my order and managed to source the car I wanted via a broker with another dealer albeit 200 miles away which was built in June and we took delivery of in mid July. Even that was a 4 months (very impatient) wait for my car can't even begin to imagine how I would (not) have coped with a 12 months wait (in between talking to solicitors regarding impending divorce proceedings!). |

At the moment their Q3 profits are higher than expected and their order books are full. So they are laughing. What will hurt, however, is when people start cancelling orders en masse. Somehow, I don't see that happening. Yes, they could have handled their communication better, but there isn't much they can do on the shortages issue. |

M3/M4 and certain other models doesn't seem to be affected as ourselves (going on this forum and posts), feels like cherry picking (probably is more than that) adds to the frustration though. I think for the few of us that actually have orders well me anyway has excepted the delays, its getting just a tad frustrating that the delays upon delays is now meaning they are picking parts from my car because of those delays but I still know nothing, other than it goes from no code to 1100 to 1200 to 1100 to no code to 1100, just another ground hog day. |

My wife has an X1 on order. Ordered in July same time as my G20. Mine arrived on time in Oct (base order G20 with only a paint colour and sun glass protection added), however my wife's has been pushed several times.
I emailed my dealer this week, and to be fair he called me the next day. He said all the worries I mentioned in my email are accurate, and things are tight at the moment. He did however say my wife's car had gone from 111 capacity checked, to 1100 scheduled. I don't know enough about the order system to know if this is a step forward or backwards? Anyone else know if this is a step forward? Original delivery was planned for start of Nov, now hoping for mid Feb - circa 7 months. |

I know you have probably gone through your spec before but out of interest what is yours, just trying to get a feel for if there is anything different (or just shite luck) that one may go through the system and another not. Genius still saying delivery week 25 just now for me

For what it’s worth my specs are
We will maybe see a pattern emerging, although I think there is more to it than just the chip situation. G21 m340 d touring Oxide grey Shadow line plus Tech pack Comfort pack |
