Delays...
My Z4 went into production on August 7th (Graz, Austria). It reached Quality Check on August 27th and has been there since. Tomorrow it will have been in Quality Check for seven weeks. I called BMW Genius, they don't know what is going on. Dealer can't find out anything either.
It's loaded...all options and packages. I know a shipment of cars left Austria and is on its way to the States now but I'm wondering if those vehicles didn't have to wait on certain options like Radar or HUDs. Is anyone else in the same boat? No pun intended. I'm trying to get a feel for when (if) this vehicle is ever actually going to get built and shipped to me. Can anyone speak to how long it took to get their vehicle once ordered and when that order took place? I'm only interested in orders since mid 2020 since that's when the real delays really began and haven't resolved since. Thanks In Advance. |

My car went into Quality Check on Sept 6 and is still showing as in Quality Check. I have escalated to the Genius people, my dealer and BMW Customer Service and have so far not received any information on my car's status. When I call Customer Service yesterday they said all they could see was the same thing I could see. The rep then asked to put me on hold so they could check on something. After a few minutes the call dropped. I expected they would call me back, but the didn't. I plan to call them again today, but I don't expect much.
I doubt there is a delay because of parts because other people who's car started build after mine and were fully optioned, as is mine, didn't see the delay. I was also told that if mine had a bad or missing part, it would get the next one the plant received. What is the name of the boat you discovered? Is it going to the US east coast, the west coast or the gulf?

Mine was also fully loaded and ordered around late august hit several delays. But it is on the Asian majesty supposed to arrive in New Jersey on the 23rd. Mine is showing in transit so it appears to be on the boat. Hopefully they don’t tell me that the hud or adaptive cruise control have been removed or they can keep it.
I will keep you all posted. Quote:

https://g29.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1857932 This is my thread detailing my experience with BMW and their lack of information. From the little I have found out, if there is a delay in the car's build, for any reason, the dealer will be notified. My dealer has not been told of any delay. At your point in delivery, if any options are missing, you should have been notified by your dealer. https://g29.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1855748

Another Misano Blue M40i with every option here, but with black interior. Wonder if I'll ever see it.

Just be patient guys, the wait will be worth it. I know exactly how y'all feel. I went through this painful thing not to long ago...
My build was: Frozen Grey Alcantara/Black Leather interior Shadowline Package Executive Package Red Calipers 19" bi-color rims Basically everything but active cruise and when it arrived it has been a blast. |

The dates matter because last year at this time I don't think they were waiting on Radar and HUDs but from what I have been able to gather right now it's Radar (Active Cruise Control) and HUDs that are driving the delays. And from what I understand the e-cars are getting priority for the radars. TIA. |

And yes, the chip problem is really awful; for my hobby i design pcb's; if i draw them i have to order the parts immediately, they fly away. The covid factory lockdowns are hitting everywhere. |

You have great taste HokieBeemer identical to mine right down to the moonlight black roof. Just checked the status and the Asian Majesty is now on its way to Nova Scotia scheduled to arrive on the 22nd I assume the next stop after that will be New Jersey.

That's interesting. I wonder why yours beat mine by nearly two months+. Mine isn't even on a boat yet, and from what I remember, we have basically the same build. They must have actually found something wrong with mine that needed repairing.

Yeah curious myself as to why mine was first on the boat. Something that popped into my mind. Do you currently own a BMW or is this your first? It shouldn’t matter but I am trading in my 2019 440i. Maybe the dealer near me sells more so their orders get moved up?
Glad to see yours turned up. Still sending all my luck your way COKen hoping yours shows up soon too. |
