Longest wait from order to delivery?
Just wondering what’s the longest anyone has had to wait for delivery.
My car is like a mirage, every time I come close to a production date, it slips further away. I placed a deposit on 13th September 2023, and was promised week 3 production with mid March delivery. In January, I was told week 19 production, with delivery in early July. Today, my production date has slipped to week 21, which, with 8-9 weeks delivery time to Ireland would indicate probably early August delivery. Anyone else have similiar experiences?

That is very common for European orders, we have already had some folks wait over a year.

I might break that record at the rate mine is slipping!

Yours is also a special case as the production of the 50e has been very limited and continues to have supply issues.

I think we both have suffered from the same changes in expected build dates.

I ordered 29th december (50e), car was produced 16th march, now waiting for a vessel at Charleston for 1 month so far, with expected delivery in june. And it seems quite more than what would be a reasonable wait for me. On the other hand, I waited 11 months for my M4 G82 in 2021, but that was when chip shortages were at its worse.

I’m thinking of looking at something else and cancelling.
The continuous slippages and ongoing quality issues are leading me to think I should look elsewhere. I shouldn’t have to wait a year for delivery, maybe it’s partly an issue with allocations with my dealer perhaps.

Does the dealer control this, or is it in the hands of the factory?

Dealer has absolutely no control on when a vehicle is built. They are given an allocation and what happens to that is out of their hands.

And, although dealers have no control over the schedule of allocations, at least where I live, there are some dealers that get many more allocations than others, and maybe with higher priority. I guess BMW distributes allocations according to the number of cars each dealer sells, maybe bigger dealers have higher chances of getting the cars sooner than the little ones. I'm not sure though.
