I had a Trackstar postcard in the car when it was delivered talking about the S5 system which comes with tags but I have no tags and haven't downloaded the app or activated anything as I recall when I had a tracker with tags on a 911 I was always forgetting them and getting phone calls from the tracker company. Not really sure what has been fitted TBH.

I got a meeting with Arden Tunbridge on friday for this :
https://onlinevehiclesales.bmw.co.uk...f-84185c036424 Almost £23k discount + additional £7500 HO referral . Delivery around august-sept. No idea if i should go with white or bernina grey. Heard dravit is a pain to keep clean.

Hi everyone.
I ordered a G11 730d back at the beginning of July. After a few delays the car was finally built and moved to status 182 on the 16th December with a delivery for w/c 27th December. I was really looking forward to picking it up after Christmas and my dealer told me it had arrived at Southampton docks when we spoke on the 23rd Dec. Anyway, Christmas comes and goes and no sign of the car. First week in Jan and my dealer tells me it will be here by the end of the week at the latest. Get to the Friday and still no car! So I finally spoke to the dealer who apologised and said he had received the wrong information and that my car had been built, but was still waiting at the plant for a couple of components to be fitted. He forwarded me the email from BMW UK to say this was due to the semiconductor shortage and they can’t tell me when it will be finished and shipped! So I am chasing the dealer daily for updates but no one can tell me when the car will be fitted with these parts. It’s incredibly frustrating to say the least! Anyone else having a similar problem? I have read a few threads about G80/82 waiting in QA for months but as far as I’m aware mine has passed this point. My car could be a week away or months away! |

Delivery time was delayed many times already and "will be ready in a week or two" basically since late November. From what I learned it was finally built just before christmas but was waiting in QA and then with logistics team since then. |

I understood there to be a parts shortage (cameras) if I recall correctly in 7’s, which is what is holding them in QA. The cars are built, but missing these parts, and as some parts are safety related, they are not gate releasing to logistics. Sometimes, if parts are not safety related and they have an approx date, they ship the car to UK dealer in the hope the part arrives and is shipped to dealer to install. It may be different in the US, and may be held at port of entry to have the part fitted, as may fail type approval without it.

This thread has led to strengthening my expectation that before my lease on my '20 G12 expires at the end of October, I will either extend the lease or, if used car prices continue to soar, buy it, and not worry about a new one until 2023.
I wonder whether they may be hoarding parts for inclusion in the upcoming G70.

I had exactly the same problem. Initially July delivery then Sept then end of sept and then it will be here next week promises through to December. A couple of times I had got insurance quotes only to be told its not coming. Basically BMW comms either dont know or providing false promises that they cannot keep.... I dont even blame the garage/provider I think its head office comms. I also had 'its a the port' crap a couple of times as well.
Until I had it on my front drive... 8 months after my initial order, I didnt believe anything they said. |

A bit on an update.
My car has finally left the factory and is at port of exit! My dealer said it is taking 2-3 weeks from the factory to the UK for delivery at the moment. He also said that they are waiting on some other cars (x5’s I think) that are taking 2 months in QA so looks like I am one of the lucky ones! I won’t believe it until I’m in that drivers seat though! I hope anyone else waiting sees some movement soon. |

I ordered mine about month earlier, and finally got collection date: next Wednesday! That will be around 7.5 months assuming no more delays.

Well first of all my order never went through due to the approximate delivery date of december 2022. I would not wait this long. I will keep my 740 for now - anyway i have done 114 miles in the past 3 months
I am now working in Austria for few months therefore no point in ordering a new car as i have a 520i M almost new as a co car. I will be looking for a 750x LCI towards the end of march if Arden is not interested in finding one for me.

22 Alpina B7 (Twilight Purple) on order since July of 2021. Initially told by dealer that I should be able to expect the car before the end of 2021.
First it got delayed to Week 4, then week 12.. then moved to week 23. Knowing that production of this is ending in June, I called the dealer and they got production moved to Week 19. Kept my fingers crossed that I would be able to get the vehicle before the retooling, because I'm utterly disappointed with the modern lack-ury design language that's being pushed out with the iX and the i4, which we can probably expect in the new 7, which I will not buy. Espeically not after this debacle. Now with the war in Ukraine, I am beginning to have serious doubts about BMW's ability to deliver the vehicle at all. I am gaining more confidence this undelivered order will be my only and last BMW. Has anyone else heard any updates regarding their 7 series given the status of the war in Ukraine and the inability of BMW to source the necessary wire harnesses for production?
