Long QC times are mainly due to some factory defect that they discover and sometimes needs to dismantle the whole car to fix that defect. They can't feasibly produce a new car because the chassis already has a VIN assigned to it.

I don’t mean to minimize your angst, but it’s only been six days!! The tracker could be behind and you’re already at the port!! Post here after you’ve been stuck in QC for two weeks or more!!

Hahhaha facts! I’ve been in QC for 26 days now and feel bad complaining after reading some of the stories on here.

That's me, been in QC since 9/9

Is this perhaps related to the stop sale thread that got posted a bit ago?

[joludo]

Same here been in QC since 9/9, m4 xdrive all options checked. Probably CCB or buckets delaying I've seen posted.

Just called genius to see if that is the case on my m3. He couldn't find any stop sale campaigns associated with my VIN but the notice said they're adding more VINs each day. My prod date was 9/23 so hoping that it's just "normal" QC stuff and not this month+ delay for a software update on the backup camera.

Good to note. I wonder if cars that actually get out of QC do not have the rear view camera stop sale and this is a component they check before releasing them from QC.

Makes sense to me, but hoping that's not the reason I'm in QC now lol

The experience that we had early this year is that the cars do not get held up in QC for stop sale items. If you do have a stop sale, it can be resolved if the car sits long enough in QC, which happened to several earlier this year, but it is not why it is stuck in QC. In my specific case, my stop sales were not resolved during my 96 days in QC (for the CID) and had to be resolved at the VPC in Oxnard. Others had their stop sales resolved, but remained in QC for many days after that.

I doubt CCBs would hold a car in QC because they would never be able to get the car off of the assembly line, it can't roll. Something like CCBs being unavailable would likely cause a push back in the production week. But, that is speculation.

Great insight, thanks for that. You spent 96 days in QC? That sounds truly horrendous

I get my info directly from my stock controller at the dealership who is sending me screenshots from their BMW Germany portal. I asked her if the portal is accurate and she said that the portal is 99.99% of the time updated with no delays

I am still stuck in QC 155 as of now.

Yup, 96 days. And I wasn't even close to having the longest wait. I seem to recall at least one person was over 120 days. And if I'm not mistaken all for CID.

It's the acronym for infotainment screen.

I have been in QC for three weeks.

My M3 just got dispatched from the factory on 9/27 after being in QC since 8/2. FINALLY!

Still in QC since 9/9 this is fun

Same here

[////\/\4]

I'm wondering if the stop sale for the affected vehicles are causing us M4s with ID7s to get the extended QC stay lol
