M340i Delivery Delays
I ordered an M340i from my local dealer on 17th June, in Portimao Blue with almost all of the options selected and with the Aluminium Fabric Individual trim. I’ve been tracking this via the online genius, with an initial expected delivery around 23rd September.
Almost every time I spoke to the genius, the estimated delivery date slipped back by a week, and the car has finally been delivered to the dealer in the last few days. I’m a bit concerned that there was some problem with the vehicle which caused these delays. In particular it appeared to take 16 days from assembly complete until it departed the factory. There were further long delays at both port of exit and port of entry. I’d be grateful to hear if anyone else experienced similar delays. I asked the dealer to contact BMW for an explanation, but they couldn’t give me any information at all. |

I ordered 330e in beginning of July, really early after ordering became available.
I was told, by one of the dealers, that earliest delivery could be in sept (as Tricky has had), but then it slipped to 12th of October, and then again slipped to 21st, and eventually 28th of October, although I managed to get mine on the 24th of october... So in short, yes, slippage was there... My colleague ordered his 330e two weeks laterm. And his delivery date is late november.. So again, delivery terms has been pushed. However, Mercedes is much much worse in this, as my colleague had his 350e, when he ordered, slipped by 2 months I think |

Thanks, it’s good to know it’s not just me. I think I’m a bit paranoid as I had to reject a 330i I ordered in the spring (weird micro-bubbling on the roof and boot lid).

This sounds like my experience ordering an M340i with very similar trim levels.
https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=25324737 I ordered 4th of July and took delivery on the 8th October. |

Wonder if it’s colour related?
As got a call that my car, which is Mineral White, and was only ordered around 4 weeks ago should be with my dealer by next week.
