Hi all guys, I've spoken with my friend at Munich plant. we must keep patience, they're having huge semiconductors/microchips shortages.....that's why other will experience a push back order status in the next few days. Delays will be between 3 and 7 weeks for already allocated orders for the time being. BMW is doing all the best it can to solve the situation....but it's not BMW fault. In Munich are experiencing hard weeks as they don't have enough semiconductors to even make the entire work day for their workers. strange situation.
By the way.....i and plug in cars, has longer delays for production than the ICE models.

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.

On a side note, one of my friends ordered a M3 Competition (RWD) in May, he was also production week 36, and then he got pushed out to week 37 just like me. But then yesterday it went into production, current status is awaiting paint shop. So not everyone is affected clearly Hopefully I go back to 112 next week and maybe they adjust the date too.

It should make you sad. It’s going to get a lot worse. What we are experiencing now for shortages it’s coming from all the shut downs of a year ago. Wait until next year. I sure as hell I’m glad Australia and New Zealand don’t produce anything important because those people shut down at the drop of a hat. When you shut down you stop production of everything. That has massive affects of future supply. Then it’s close to impossible to catch up. I have a feeling we will be running out of a hell of a lot more important things than sports cars in the near future. |

It's just a matter of patience to take.
BMW is doing all the best to solve (as other manufacturer's as well) and fix the situation.

I just figure people were getting their '21s here no problem so i thought it'd be an easy transition in getting it. Then again i only been waiting about 5 weeks. Car is supposed to "get built" in another 3 weeks, then probably another 5-6 more weeks waiting time after that barring no other hold ups. I just really hope for the extremely long delays are for people with in depth builds and perhaps they will cater to the builds that aren't as extensive? That's what i'm hoping for at least. |

Yikes, fully loaded. I'm starting to wonder if all the people here who are experiencing delays are the ones who have loaded up, or fully loaded cars? I just hope my theory is correct on basic spec = faster build I do agree we will see these issues for years to come. I'm in queue for a first year c8 z06, which i should be getting end of next year. But now i'm thinking i will be waiting, AGAIN. |

The charger widebody hellcat was also another consideration if i didn't get an M car. It was either the hellcat or the stingray. Hellcat was already at the showroom so i didn't have to wait. Only issue was the color i didn't want and those cars are very likely to get stolen where i'm from. So i didn't want to deal with that. The 12-15 month just to get a freaking stingray was so annoying. I ultimately wanted that as top top choice. There is definitely some hidden agenda going on here. And i'm not the one to follow politics because it never ends well so i try not to think about it. The more you think about it, the more your mind starts to create so many scenarios you start to get mad or go crazy lol |

My car hasn't been produced yet........I don't know why. Probably the U.S. versions have a kind of priority as the US is the major market for the M3/4 I guess.

No I don’t think they are building anybody’s car right now. My bet is pretty much the whole factory has shut down due to lack of parts. How long that will be is anyone’s guess. Someone on the forum has a friend in the Munich plant who might be more help with that question.

And Friday last week he went into status 150, currently entering paint shop. So the factory is definitely not shut down, my guess is they have been hit with a delayed shipment of parts OR the August holiday has caused some back logs and they've shifted everything back by 3 weeks Supposedly there is going to be some communication tomorrow from BMW in the form of an internal bulletin from what I heard from another UK forum user regarding "getting orders back on schedule" - I will share what info I get
