G80 Carbon Bucket Seats Affecting Production?

Does anyone who has the carbon bucket seats have any luck moving forward in production?

Mine was scheduled for production back in August, then moved back to order received early September. I have been stuck in order received since then.

I don't even know at this point if carbon bucket seats is the problem.

Might depend on the color of the carbon buckets. I recently saw that ivory carbon buckets were accelerated from week 42 to week 41: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...&postcount=102

I have Fiona Red carbon buckets (extended leather) optioned and still 111 status for week 45 (which is expected at this point but should flip to 112 soon hopefully). I think you're relatively good once you hit 150 but I've seen a lot of 112 flip back to 111.

That's was my case, from 112 to 111. Have been under 111 for over a month now.

Was told BW 46 or somewhere close by SA. Now called genius and updated with 51, which is the last week of December.

OH man, I am glad I don't have access to see my garage or genius.

We ask for WK 44 and was confirmed for WK 48 for a delivery WK of 51 to the dealer in southern Spain.

Seen all the people getting push back. I am nervous. My % rate is lucked until Nov 16. I hope to get a Vin# before then.

I also have buckets/Black full. and every option available. went all out.

Overseas build US specs so coming in a Truck to the dealer thank God.

I have a production # but no VIN yet. My CA stated verbally the allocation is for a November build, but not sure how I can check this. I spec'd it with Kyalami O buckets. This is non-negotiable for me so I don't mind waiting.

Production Number is all you need to check status. You can call BMW Genius hotline or add to your garage on myBMW.com.
