BMW shortages
Placed an order for my wife's fully loaded 2024 X5 4.0. Initially, I was scheduled for week 19th, and because of the shortages, it was pushing me out until August. I changed it to X5 M60 and ironically no delay on that and was able to lock in week 23.
Here is a list of the shortage items. Last edited by usta; 05-03-2023 at 06:33 PM.. |

We see huge boats full of BMWs leaving Charleston often. They have a parking lot with only X model BMWs big enough to put 6 big dealer lots on the space. It's usually full of X model BMWs most all the time waiting on the next boat. We heard they are all going overseas. Probably more profit. I'll keep an eye out and see if that changes.

So yes, a parking lot full of vehicles only produced in one place waiting for a boat makes sense. BMW isn't going to waste money on shipping expenses by not sending as many vehicles as possible at one time. That also means our brethren overseas may have to wait a little longer if their vehicle misses a boat. |

I can tell you that in Germany it started about two weeks ago that people were asked to either remove soft-close or have their X5 delayed until the end of '23. It's still not 100% clear if this affects all models though. Also 22" have been mentioned from time to time. (Which can be ordered with any model in Germany.)

My European X5 is also made in the Spartanburg, US. And the base price is 15-20K more than the US price. And 1 USD is almost 1 Euro. Options are also more expensive than in the US.

It might very well be that this is limited to the lower models and that the guys being asked to cancel soft-close from their order ordered a 30d/40i. €dit: Nevermind just got confirmation that one of the guys on the German Forum was told that his M60i would only go into 112 now if he would cancel soft-close, otherwise he's looking at late '23, possibly '24.

OP post fits in with UK market in that 40i LCI isn't on UK configurator but 30D, 50E and M60i are.

I would maybe cancel as I'm not seeing myself waiting almost a year on my order but also wouldn't want to get a car with compromises. (Which it sort of already is with IAS not being available.)

I already made that compromise because my 45e has IAS. I will not make another compromise. Then I’m better with my also loaded 45e.

My UK bound x5 50e is built and has been stuck in QC for over a week, probably due to a shortage of something somewhere. I haven't got any of the shortage parts listed above so not sure what it might be

Not trying to crash the party but people in Germany were usually informed as soon as it would move from 111 to 112, so for me with WK24 scheduled (allegedly) this would be another 2-3 weeks(?) out. The only status you are mostly safe with seems to be 150.

If it’s any consolation I think mines currently parked next to yours. Looks like we missed the boat.

Last week my dealer said all options are still available. Including soft close. He had no knowledge of shortages. Only iAS is not available.

Does anyone know if it is possible to individually add 4A2 and 407 to ZPP? Incidentally, my X5 x40i was scheduled for a week 19 build before my order went from 112 to 111. The BMW Genius now tells me I'm scheduled for week 28. If that holds true, I think I'm okay waiting it out to get what I want but am nervous this could get pushed out further. Thanks!
