I ordered mine on the 30/06 and it eventually came on the 16/12. I did have a few delays as it was originally expected to be delivered by the 31/10.
Even after I thought it was built I discovered the week before I was due to pick it up it was sat in the factory and held up due to a shortage of chips to finish it off. At this point BMW could not give me any delivery dates and simply advised me it would be prioritised once the parts became available
I feel your frustration with the delays as I was expecting to wait until after Xmas and was surprised when the garage rang to say it was on its way and hopefully yours turns up sooner than you expect.

Really, i ordered mine on the same day and nowhere near being ready! Even looked at other options. Did you have to contact them or did you do anything different to get yours by December?

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. I added a pro pack, pan roof and park assist and heated steering wheel to mine as options.

There definitely needs to be more clarity and communication around the order process if we're spending that much. Like an online queue number or something at point of order to see progress and different stages…

That is strange, particularly as they were ordered at the same time. I thought mine would be longer due to the chip problems as it included the Sunroof, Lumber Support, Tech Pack (with no wireless charging), Comfort Pack (with no auto boot opening) and Driver Assistant.
The garage did order it straight away but at the time confirmed they did only have one built slot for October left and guess this is what made the difference.

Maybe each dealership as an allotted number of build slots and have to wait for more to be made available?

Been told mine is due (from a November order) to be made in February so should be ready for March 2022. That would suit me then it'll get the 22 reg and not a 71 and look older then it is.

Thats the same as mine! I'd much rather wait the extra month I was told and get it in March as a 22Plate than the 71Plate. What spec did you go for?

I got the pro pack, panoramic sunroof, park assistant the heated steering wheel. Car will be Melbourne red and I'm hoping the pro pack offsets the red/black combo nicely. Did initially choose Skyscraper Grey but wasn't sold on it and changed my mind

Garage List
Ordered July 2021 to be delivered Oct 2021, then December, to mid Jan 2022, Now Feb 2022! Sunroof, and driver assist with comfort pack. Snapper Rocks Blue with 19'' wheels. I've brought a private plate so not worried about the 22 plate, just want my car. Communication from the dealer is poor to be honest.

Ahh man I hope you get it soon! Communication from their end hasn't been great for me either but i've just been chasing for updates every now and then

They cant deliver what isnt build. You could ask them the date when your specific car will be manufactured. Normally BMW does give them that date.

The red is actually a nice shade and should be one of the rarest colors.

That is true! When i was looking for any that were listed at dealers or for sale online I could hardly find any especially with the pro pack. I've had an update from the dealership and mine is going in for the build next week and should be with me 1st week of March as a fresh 22 plate opted for the 19'' 552m wheels too!
