F11 build slots

Got a call from my UK dealer yesterday to tell me the F11 520d I ordered a few months back now has a mid Aug build slot and a 20th Sept delivery date.

He said he expects that to come forwards to allow me to collect it on the official launch date of 18th Sept.

nice to hear that your building date and delivery date is just one month.
I ordered my f10 in the beginning of june and got a building slot in the end of june.
but my delivery date is set for 20sept.
I did not know that there was that much difference between f10 and f11.

I´ve got a 523i F11 on order. Placed the order in the beginning of June. Haven´t got any news about delivery or build slot. I can give her a call next week to see what happens. When we talked about delivery when I signed the contract she thought I could get the car around the premiere (18 sep) or shortly after.

Perhaps they are retooling the factory for the F11, or at least reserving some of the production capacity for the global launch of the F11 on 18th Sept. If mine is being built mid August, then the factory must be up and running then.

I think the same thing might be happening with the 2.0d engines. Prerhaps the production of F10 2.0d is getting delayed to allow enough F11 2.0d cars to be available at launch.

Ordered mine in April. The dealer said that we would get their first allocation of the F11 and I could collect it on the launch date which is 18th Sept.

Got an email from my dealer today. My car is about to be built soon. They´re expecting to have my car ready for delivery somewhere around the 20 september to the 3 of october (week 39 or 40). They will contact me with more specific details when the car is built.

Just checked dealer email says week commencing the 13th September. I used Outlook work out the week number which should have been week 37 for that date.

Visited the dealer today and he showed me the screen. It is showing delivery on week beginning 13th Sept and build date is next week.

He also confirmed that all F11s will be built with the new 6VC ComBox and have full postcode search on the sat nav: good news.

I've heard (a rumor) that the factory that are producing the car was flooded with water and there was no production for 10 days. Anyone knows something more?

Just had a look at news stories in dingolfing area - no mention of it there.
Also checked Deutsche Welle nothing on there too.

No news of any flood. Dingolfing normally shuts down for a period of time in August to re-tool the plant, so this may be part of the rumor.

BMW has a pretty good website with a lot of information regarding this plant. One quick fact is that they use over 300 buses daily in the morning and afternoon to transport the workers to the plant! There is a also a good virtual tour of each phase of the prodcution line, with some movies on the new F10. (The amount of wleding that goes into our cars is amazing.) As a side note, Dingolfing also makes the Rolls body shells there as well.

I think the site is BMW-Plant-Dingolfing.......google it.

Got some more info regarding production issues. It seems that a plant in the czech republic that supplies the roof lining and not the BMW (Dingolfing ) plant had water issues.

Minimum production stop : 3 weeks
Expected production stop : 4 weeks

It does depends if your affected where your car already is in the production process.
