My car went into production in Feb 19th, but it is still in the quality check phase.Based on some useful info found in the forum, most likely it is selected for more check or it is waiting on the parts. Anyone in the same boat? I don't know if there's anything I can do to expediate this process but the waiting is killing me. I called BMW genius but they don't seem to have a clue either. It is frustrating to know things aren't moving...

Most likely the part shortage. There's an issue with carbon seats and the sound system from what I've picked up reading on here, but who knows for sure. I'm sure it'll get moving soon for you; fingers crossed

Thanks! Yeah hopefully it gets moving soon

Mine went through paint booth to quality check within 24 hours. Fingers crossed it continues at this pace

What does the genius line give for the projected completion date?

They told me mine has already passed the projected finish time, which is week 9...

[rak299]

Mine was supposed to finish today, but statue is in quality check. I called the genius number and was told my vehicle was selected for more extensive quality checks (whatever that means). The completion date was changed from the 12th to the 15th. I have a base model M3 (MT) and black CF seats and black (shadowline) exterior trim. It seems to me that seats and trim are the only things that could be out of stock but let everything else finish.

Well I just went from week 10 to week 12 to week 13 to week 15. I placed my order September 2020. :

Nope, I contacted my CA and he said it may still go on the production line this month since it's 112. (I'll believe it when I see it) I've never waited 9 months for a car!

I have the CF seats too, so there could be a supply issue.

Fingers crossed for you. I've been waiting for a month now and it has been very painful. I check status multiple times per day. Can't imagine 9 months.

What color? It could be frame or seat cover.

Mine went from week 12 to 11 and then started (150 status) week 10

I have SPY+blue interior

[rak299]

Mine is black. I should know more when I see if mine finishes Monday.

Finally dispatched from factory

[BMdoubleUTIFUL]

I've been dispatched from factory since Friday. I went from flying through assembly, back to waiting multiple days at a time for the next step

Most dealers are telling me an 8-week build, 12 MAX. But it seems like some of you are waiting way longer than that. Are they simply lying to me to get my order?

[rak299]

My delay was about a week. My car is on the way to the port. If it gets onto the ship that goes out Saturday, the total time will be 8 weeks to the west coast, which includes a 2-week round trip to the Panama Canal after unloading in Baltimore. If it doesn't get onto that ship, there will be an 18-day delay until the next one.

Are you in the east coast or west coast?
Based on my research so far, for west coast I think the breakdown after entering 150 is:
Build: 1.5-3 weeks
To the port: 3-7 days
At port waiting for vessel: 3 days - 2 weeks
Transit: 3-4 weeks
VPC: 1-5 days
To dealer: 1-5 days

So if you add everything up. 8-10 weeks sound about right, and with some delay you still should be able to get the car within 12 weeks, assuming it goes into production immediately.

Thanks for that insight, it helps a lot.

I'm in the East (MD), near a major port.

lol I wish I live in the East in which case you are looking at a shorter transit time and your car is less likely to get stuck at port waiting because there are a lot more ships.
