I posted this in the other thread this morning:

Another reply from my CA (after asking his contact about the delay)

Quote:
This is the message I received from BMW.

" Hi D

Yes, this one is in rework for the following three items: RAM, CID and Booster"

It appears there are more than one items that need to be addressed for your M4 so the delay is taking a little longer than usual. I will continue to monitor and update you if I see anything on my end. Have a great rest of the week!
RAM: radio module
CID: infotainment display
Booster: Amp

Hopefully it get sorted soon.
I also heard parts would be available next week for the cars in QC, but I won't hold my breath for that.

So why exactly did some cars not get parts but others get them and continue through past QC into transit? It seems odd that of there are just parts needed that they would let cars sit for weeks while continuing to build and deliver cars with similar specs without first using the available parts on the cars sitting in queue.

Related to another thread about increased G8x pricing to take effect after the new year, I wonder if BMW is just going to keep us in QC until the price changes in a few weeks. If the price increase is indeed tied to when the car was "produced" and not ordered (see other thread), then arguably a car that hasn't made it out of QC is not produced and is thus subject to the higher price.

No, it won't affect any of these cars. Don't be paranoid.

Spoke to a guy on Reddit from week 41-43 range and he just got moved out of QC as of a week ago after waiting 7.5 weeks. I believe week 43 is next up to get moved out, but with the holidays coming we might miss our chance.

Yeah, it's getting too late with the holiday shutdowns coming. I think most of us won't find a boat till the new year.

Anyone knows the dates the plants are shutdown for during the holidays. Trying to take a break as well from checking the forums and my garage for being on QC hell. Will check again after the new years.

Supposedly the last two weeks of December, so relatively soon.

If I were you, I'd just call BMW Genius and getting updates from them rather than staring at the website. The website is actually delayed by a day or two, so even if you see a status change, it happened a while ago. BMW Genius has the most up to date information. I personally call once a week and am just enjoying the build up to the car being delivered. Looking at mods, building different cars on the configurator, etc.

Sucks to see you guys stuck in QC. I really don't understand how BMW can justify keeping certain cars in QC and waiting for parts while pushing other cars out very quickly.

I have this mental picture of my car in a dark corner of the factory with spider webs all over it at this point.

You have a better picture than me. The way I imagine mine being stuck outside getting rusted and rained on. Birds pooping all over it and by the it gets here they will try to wash it swirling the paint.

I have frozen white. I can’t even imagine mine sitting outside. Might as well ask for a new car at this point
