I don't think so. Because I saw on my dealer's System that BMW Italy tried three times to reduce the gap and push back the production week of my car from week 40 (expoected for the time being) to week 35, but BMW HQ said "impossible". My friend in Munich told me that the chip shortages is a very serious problem now for the months to come. Until the end of the '21 spring production, they were able to have a bit of stock, but now the warehouses are empty, so that's why there's the problem. From what he told me, who has an allocation or maybe has ordered the car within the end of july, will have 4/5 weeks of delay, but who has ordered the car after that date, will have larger delays for sure unfortunately, especially if the car is fully loaded spec. Mine, for example, ordered on June the 4th, hasn't the wireless charging for instance (I don't care, but it was a first signal of something going wrong with the supplies). Let's wait, during the upcoming week he'll give me some feedbacks as soon as he'll be at the office to check the production schedule status.
