Hopefully new orders will be completed faster than for those of us in Canada who did so last year. I thought I was being proactive by ordering in May 2021 which resulted in production being completed in Oct 2021 other than for the RAM retrofit (which I'm still awaiting confirmation from the dealer is actually closed as per Alex's tool and the UK website). Obviously, some, not all who ordered later in 2021 from Canada are receiving their cars now. I don't in anyway begrudged them for their fortune but am thoroughly disappointed with BMW 's (not my dealership's) handling of being stuck in this limbo. There is a disrespectful lack of information and blatant preference for cars now in production (i.e. less expensive to BMW to maintain line continuity) rather than an application of a FIFO system for prioritizing back ordered components to cars sitting in VPC parking lots around the world. Furthermore, for most, not all; the purchase cycle for cars to Canada is longer than those destined for the states - as evidence by numerous examples on this board, FB and IG.
This is our 4th BMW in addition to owning a 911 and an xc90 - so we are use to the European experience of waiting for our cars to be built. In fact we were/are? planning on the all new MY23 X7 and now I am left questioning this. Bottom line of rant, Canadian buyers please be warned and be aware of the risks. BMW makes awesome cars. But based on the 1500+ Cdn orders of various BMWs models sitting at Bremerhaven to be retrofitted, the bottleneck due to production strains, the lack of transparent and timely information afforded our dealerships and thereby us, and of course the sad realties of what a senseless war will now impose, your guess is as good as anyones when it comes to how long it will take for new orders to be built. |

The sad reality is that BMW will continue to earn billions of revenue, celebrating their golden 50th anniversary of ///M and assuming that us 1500 polite Canadians will fade away in the background. Will I be happy to take delivery this spring? Sure. Will I consider custom ordering a BMW ever again? That remains to be seen. |

Personally, I don't mind long wait times. I'm happy to wait, I am even ok with unexpected delays because I can sympathize with the unpredictability of the situation. I think what is making me reconsider things, is the most recent posts indicating that options are getting removed from orders without any communication. Like come on, give me the option - "Wait possibly ~3-4 months or longer or do you want to have the car built now without laser lights". I do not want to be dropping 100K+ and not get what I want especially when I am not in a rush, and have other options to consider. |

If you're interested in it I can PM you the contact info of the SA at The BMW Store. I'm sticking with the EV daily and will look into getting the "fun car" when supply chains have levelled out. It was a tough decision and I definitely miss being in a bimmer though |

Placed order for TBII M4 Cabriolet back in November.
Local dealership (Moncton NB) does a lower volume I knew there would be a wait for allocation. Was told there were 2 orders before me. Was at dealership yesterday for warranty work on my X3 and saw M4 Cabriolet in the service bay getting the PDI completed and prepped to be delivered to local shop for PPF. It was done in Frozen Black and looked amazing. So I asked for an update on my order and was told the production status was just updated to 112. So just now waiting to see how much longer production will be shut down. Hoping to have delivery sometime June/July. |

For what's it worth I have a build date for week 20 for a M4 Comp Xdrive (Mid May and was told ETA at dealership late June or early July) The build is locked and apparently is being built/assembled at a different factory because of the individual paint option. Not sure if that helps or not?
Dealer did say cars who did have late 2021 builds was a cluster, but BMW has gotten on top of the situation and things are normalized, except the caveat of the war in Ukraine. |

Not long now! After ordering May 5, 2021, built in week 40, our car arrive at the dealership yesterday. Almost thought this would never happen.
Hang in there for my fellow long haulers. |

Just got word from my dealer that my convertible is now Status 150 and provided me the VIN. So close. I might just get to drive it this summer. So excited.

Don't get your hopes up. Ordered July 5th and still don't have it. If it's not production delays it's recall delays. If it's not a recall it's shipping. By the time your vehicle gets here we will have a gas shortage. Went to the dealer yesterday to get an update and at this point Genius knows more of when my vehicle is coming.

I live in Calgary and I have quite a wait for my 6MT M3. Here is what I know:
Order Date: April 16, 2022 Order with Allocation: TBD My understanding is that I am first in line for Calgary BMW’s 2023 6MT allocations when the come out sometime this summer. Build date is estimated May/June 2023. It is a long time but I am willing to wait to get the car in the spec I want.

Why would your dealer promise a date 1+ year from order date unless they are creating a buffer for MY22 cars that were pushed to MY23
