No worries. I'm just at a loss about if I should request anything from BMW for this delay.
I don't think my dealer is playing games insofar as I did see proof of the allocation, but the opaqueness of the process is really surprising. I surely cannot be the only one with this problem. @midfield, what is the dealership telling you about the reason for the delay? |

Your only option is to resolve with the dealer or take your business elsewhere. You could threaten to take back your deposit and cancel your order due to the delays unless they agree to additional dealer discounts. That's what I would do and at the same time get quotes from other dealers to see how things are currently being priced. |

OK, all true, but if my dealer had a week 37 build on allocation, and my X7 was scheduled for production for that slot, how is it my dealer's, and not BMW's, fault that production is delayed?

Fair, I should clarify that this sounds like the dealers issue and not BMW. I don't think the dealer is giving you a straight answer on what is your current build week / status.

This was from my dealer, way back on 8/23 showing production to go week 37. Order was placed 8/21.

BMW didn't delay production for everyone, so I would think it is a dealer issue. Even if it is a BMW issue, your dealer has not managed it well. |

Today (9/24) - This morning still said Production begins, but just now it's passed Exterior body assembly begins, In the paint booth, and is at Entering assembly line. My dealer said the completion date in his system shows 9/25...We'll see tomorrow what it shows. |

How would I know the dealership bumped me? I can see how games could be played before there is an assigned production number, but got a production number in August. |

I was thinking this system just wasn't updating properly, but I think it may be. Unfortunately that means my X7 may have gone though the line on the midnight shift...hope the wheels don't fall off when I get it, haha. |

I don't know how it's updated but I called the GENIUS number and they told me mine is scheduled for week 40 which is next week. But it still just shows order received.

Update:
I spoke with another dealer. I'm told there are delays for builds with the 4M5 leather dash, ZMP package and 407 panoramic sky lounge. My build has the leather dash... |

My build has 4M5 leather dash, ZMP package and 407 panoramic sky lounge. I’ve been in quality check for a little over a week. I called BMWUSA yesterday and was told they are short staffed 🙄

Dash must be an issue as I originally ordered 2019 50i and got delayed as they rubbed out of dash components, then I was offered to switch to 2020 M50i and I have to say this is rare instance where I am happy that things got delayed as I definitely like the M50i better over the 50i

Wondering if I’ll regret that! Is it bad that I mostly want it for how good it looks, especially the lights in the speakers? |

Update on mine. Order 2 weeks ago and still shows online just order received. Last week the dealer said chassis had been started and should have a VIN today. Genius hotline also told me last week that production is scheduled for this week. Today dealer said leather being installed but when I called genius they said requested production was this week but it shows production is actually week 44 which is another 4 weeks. I am getting so many different stories here.
