Ordered mine last week. Was supposed to be built last week of September but BMW decided to move it up since it's a sold car. Looks like it will be here before end of the month. My current 50i lease isn't up until Oct 20.

Anybody heard about a parts delay relating to seating? My CA hinted today that my car might be delayed in SC due to some kind of parts shortage. Just wondering if this is something others have heard?
As context, my vehicle supposedly finished production on August 27th and has been "Waiting to be released to the carrier" since then... The fact that the BMW hotline indicates my car has finished production doesn't really align with what the CA is telling me... |

800 # (automated) system says the car has finished production and is waiting to be released to the carrier. Same exact status since 27th August. |

As said, human has typically indicated production is complete, QA complete, waiting for release. Cannot provide any more info |

Regarding carrier - there isn't one unfortunately. Since it hasn't actually been released (the car is just "waiting to be released") there is nothing I can track. In theory it should take 2-3 days to get up to MA from SC once the car is truly released. For some reason the vehicle is stuck in this limbo production hell where it (is/is not) production complete and (is waiting/is not waiting) to be released. I wonder if they lost it |

I'm afraid I have the same problem. Production completed on August 29, ordered Mocha Nappa and ventilated seats as well. The same status "waiting to be released to the carrier" Tomorrow I'm going to talk to CA. Last edited by fishermn; 09-16-2014 at 10:27 PM.. |

My F15 went from "In Production" to "Waiting for Carrier" on 9/15. It is black Dakota, multicontour. I'll let you know if it ships in a few days or not. The CA says it should be here in five days based on previous experience.

Mine was just delayed in production with Mocha Nappa (non ventilated). I wonder if there is an issue with the Mocha Nappa in general (perhaps related to the stitching upgrade)

Spoke to my CA today and no clarification yet on the dates of delivery, "we still have to wait, only 4 weeks past from the date of order". He has also told me that according to his database the status of production is #155 "Assembly finish/quality check" as of August 30. He mentioned that there is no signs of parts shortage at the moment.
Still frustrated... |

We ordered Friday August 22nd and it went into production on the 26th. It was delivered to our dealer Saturday the 13th of September and I picked it up 3 hours after it arrived.

As a data point, I ordered my X5 on July 30, and it went into production around August 17. My recollection is that it took a little over one week to exit production and clear the VPC in Spartanburg. From there it traveled via rail to the VPC in Oxnard, and was released to Waggoners Trucking Monday (9/15) and is in transit to Portland with an ETA of either Thursday night (9/18) or Friday morning. So for me, the whole experience will have been a little over 6 weeks. In the scheme of things, not too bad. It's frustrating when you're waiting, but when you receive her you'll quickly forget that angst. I told my daughter the same thing about the iPhone 6, BTW.

Also, there have been parts shortages in the past for the F15. I believe leather and wheels might have been in short supply at one point early in the first F15 production cycle. |

Yes, it is - although I am basically fully loaded except Night Vision and 3rd row.
