New here… seemingly bad luck with delivery

Hi All,
New here from UK… hello all!
I’ve had what seems like no luck with the dealership/delivery of a 2GC ordered in May 2021.
Dealership says it’s been stuck on build for around 4 weeks no, with no further update from BMW and won’t provide the build number despite several requests.
Anyone else had such a long and seemingly unending wait?

Waiting for new build

Same issues here, although received a call this morning saying car was in the UK and just arrived at the garage. I have to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
Been a very long wait (April 21), with very little information from BMW along the way.
Hopefully you wont need to wait too much longer mate 👍

Same same..

I have been given the same bad news. Initially told it was on time, now over a month delayed. The current issues with HGV drivers delivering the new vehicles are bound to become the next issue.

Ordered my car back in June, and have just been informed the car has now been built, and awaiting shipment from Germany! Should arrive at the dealers at the end of this month or the start of November.

Finally received an update today that it has been built and on its way to the UK, although still in Germany. I’m not holding my breath, pretty sure the HGV driver issue will be the next delay 🤣

Picked my New 218i Msport GC from the dealers at the end of last month. I love the car and the colour. It was worth the wait!

Good choice of parking space! Hopefully minimises the nightmare scenario of returning to the car to find that a beat up old banger has parked up close & personal next to you!

Skyscraper grey certainly shines in the autumn sunshine

Also waiting for new build. You are not alone with a delay

Hi, I ordered a M235i in June and the dealers confirmed the car was built on the 27/10 and now had a chassis number. Up until Wednesday last week (09/11) it was scheduled to be delivered the week commencing 15/11 (tomorrow).
After chasing it again last week I was eventually advised, after the dealers contacted BMW, this is still awaiting rework as I ordered all the packs and just about every extra you can buy. BMW now cannot give me an estimated delivery date due to the shortage of chips and simply state in their reply to the dealership existing customers orders will be prioritised.
I will continue to chase the dealership every week but now suspect I will be lucky to get this delivered before Xmas.
This is not what I wanted to hear and you are not alone with a delay and do share your frustration as are really looking forward to receiving the car and confident once it is delivered will not be disappointed.

My car has been stuck at German port of exit for 3 weeks. Apparently it's fully built. Seems their shipping schedule is disrupted by so many incomplete cars still at the factory awaiting bits

I was due delivery last month, then this month, now January. I can't wait to get my hands on mine either. I too have added extras/packs. I'm sure it will be worth it, a nice long drive will be planned for after delivery!

I ordered mine in September 2021 and have been told its scheduled for late Feb/ early March 2022 now after originally being told the new year. Hopefully you get yours sooner than what you'v been told!
