Clever paint, Dravit grey does the same but in different hues and then has a golden sunburst effect

You got me a little worried now. I'd really like to get mine before new model is available, otherwise I may as well cancel it and wait a bit more for good offers on those. And I don't want to wait longer.

I've asked my dealer for an update and the car has departed the plant (code 9000) so is built (obviously) and is in the hands of the carriers on the way to the port all on schedule for September delivery.

Ours is still in quality check where it has been for 2 months now. I'm seriously starting to wonder if I should just cancel and wait for the new body style 2023. |

Does anyone have a comparison with Macan in terms of comfort? It was my 2nd option on the list and with just refreshed model maybe it's not a bad idea after all. |

For the delays, maybe that's an issue with some parts? I took tech and comfort pro packs, so it adds some non usual stuff which might be in short supply (just guessing now). |

Could also be that Berry Heathrow already had a car in pipeline that was still spec amendable prior to being locked, and that the others were fresh factory orders.
I placed a fresh factory order for a G12 for the office a couple of weeks ago and current view is November delivery. We are trying to pull forward via escalation, but lead time seems to correlate with other non spec amendable orders. Our dealer had no pipeline orders to spec amend.

I think mine was actually ordered in factory, as I got an email from BMW in June (about 2 weeks after placing order) that my vehicle is now scheduled to production and can change status at any time now. 2 months later and no further updates.

All cars are ordered through the factory, the variable is if your dealer didn't have a slot then it's going to be down to what they get from BMW, so the initial build/delivery date was an estimate but they should have told you that, e.g. we haven't got a slot but will try for X week if not it'll be X etc...
