This REALLY frosts my cookies!
My car's been stuck in Q/C for a month and the I4 is showing up 3 months early? Would be nice if BMW would have used the parts to complete the cars that are just sitting...

I’ve been in QC since 11/3 for a 22 M4c x-drive so going on a month. I have no stop sales and appear to; along with a few other people in this forum; be an anomaly in the order process thus far. Genius and my dealer have no further information so my take is they are trying to fix a potential stop sales before shipping out. I ordered on 9-13 so going on 3 months here soon. This article made me sad

I am sure the optics aren't good if BMW cannot deliver on a car they just announced. Hence why they are punting on a year old car and prioritizing the I4. Same thing with the new 2 series, which shares a lot of the same components.

I'm certain the two cars do not have all parts in common. When finalizing a new model, BMW engineers probably had the opportunity to integrate parts and components that were available. No such opportunity on cars that are already in progress or models that are a year old. Look how many of us on hear complain when options and parts are switched mid-order. So it's not the I4 that frosts my cookies. It's the lack of reliable information about our own cars.

But, looking from a customer point of view. We are talking about cars which costs more than $80.000. BMW should pay more attention to the customers. I'm 2 weeks late from my original production week. (2 days in QC). I'm preparing myself for a long wait. |

I like frosting on my cookies. This expression sounds like something good happened. Similar to icing on the cake.
I guess icing on cake is good, but not on cookies? What about cupcakes?

Threads like this validate that we've all totally lost it while waiting for our G80s
Thanks to BMW, I'll never look at computer specs the same way. 8GB of RAM used to mean something, now it's just triggering Consider my cookies FROSTED
