Have we just taken possession of the last Z4’s

[ronk]

i've heard this is not true. an order from a dealer for a Z4 was placed today that was accepted.

Which model?
The Magna Steyr manufacturing could be halted - the halt may nor be financial tho? It could be the “chip” supply problems?

[Pondrew]

Ford sent out a 'trade only' press release last week saying very similar with regard all their 'performance' ICE models, so wouldn't be surprised if it's true.
The semi-conductor shortage, along with lack of production last year may have brought the demise of the ICE forward by a good few years

I can't wait to be driving a Chinese Sinclair C5 personally (not)

As long as I get mine

Yours and Ori’s was one of the first things I thought about when I saw it. I hope you both do too

And I also hope I can order another one at some point!!

[Nanu]

Does anyone have any figures on how popular the G29's are? Perhaps if the sales are not as BMW hoped they may be using the chip shortage as an excuse to discontinue. On the other hand they may be able to build a basic model in each engine spec more efficiently and let customers upgrade after sale?

[Obs-Com]

There are currently 767 M40i Autos registered plus 42 First Edition M40is registered. No idea how many 4cyl G29s.

I suppose the easiest way to know for sure is to ask a BMW dealer. From what F1SpaceMonkey has written it sounds promising that it isn't cancelled.

I’m really hoping it isn’t right but I recall something on here a few weeks ago about a dealer taking their order but not being able to confirm because they couldn’t get a build slot. I don’t remember any update on that to say a build slot had eventually been confirmed at a later date.

I’ll need to stop putting as many bloody miles on mine if I can’t get another new one

Maybe a ploy to sell other name manufacturers cars by Carwow?

Oh don’t worry about it Andy, you can have mine in a year or two for 60k….

Oh don’t you worry, that was my back up plan with yours safely tucked away all nice and cost with about 300 miles on it

£60k is fine……….. as long as you’re giving me £55k trade in for mine

And you wonder why I’m sitting on the fence wondering if I should stick or twist

My local dealer let me order an M40i on Friday afternoon, albeit without any firm delivery timescales.

That’s the bit that concerns me - I could sell my E89 an M40i for delivery in Spring 2022 then to be told thar it’s not available.

That’s the exact position I’m in, I’ve crystallised the value in my E89 and now await patiently to see when/if my M40 arrives!

We’re you given any estimate time Blaster…?
