Right before posting this message, I got a call back from someone at BMWUSA executive offices about my car that’s been in WC for 2.5 months. She didn’t give any indication that there’s some giant problem with the production, more just chip shortages holding everything up. She expects the car to be ready for shipment next week hopefully. I think you’re getting screwed by your dealer man.

I hate to say but I agree. Either your dealer is pulling a fast one or there was something terminally wrong with the car. The ridiculous story he gave you makes me assume the former.

Man I hope you are right and they aren't continuing to "kick the can down the road." I'm tired.

Which week are you again? If that ends up being true I hope that means Weeks 43-46 will actually start moving out.

My M3CX just got out of QC about 4 days ago and is sitting at the port. I hope yours is released soon. Can be very nerve wracking when the status starts jumping around. That happened to me in the beginning of my build process.

Look at week 4 thread...M4s are moving. Anyways don't wanna argue about what's moving and what's not. My point is no two people will say the same thing during these times. No two ordering experiences will be the same.

Week 4? Aren't we in week 2 or 3?

There are probably dozens of G82 from Week 43-46 that have been stuck in QC since. I'm on my 9th week there, and BMW doesn't care to help.

Welcome back! 😉

Still can't believe you are stuck in QC for this long.

Damn this sucks. I just started shopping for an M3C, but hearing all of these horror stories does not fill me confidence.

Not that the OP is, but I sometimes wonder if competing manufacturers have posters in here starting and feeding these types of threads as misinformation campaigns.

Many reports of issues, manufacturing delays, omitted parts, etc. that have been debunked for our M cars. No doubt BMW is dealing with supply chain issues like the rest of the industry, but sometimes the speculation is like whoa.

We need a fact checking team up in here.
