Z4 G29 Delivery Delays

[ori]

I was almost ready last year to sell my 35is and place an order for an M40i - I just felt a little bit uneasy about a genuine availability of a car.

These tales of woe seem to confirm my decision somehow.

To be fair. You could have had a new m40i in December/Jan due to a duplicate order.

That’s true but mid winter / week prior to Christmas wasn’t an ideal time - I didn’t want to drive it home and park it up in the garage at home nor indeed pay the arm and a leg for delivery.
As it turns out it would have been an impossible time as I was in hospital at the very time it was ready for payment and collection.
Certainly an opportunity missed and I was of course very grateful to all concerned at the time but it would have added to the already stressful situation.

At my age, I don’t want to miss the opportunity to drive out in the hobby car, who knows what’s around the corner ready to bite ya bum!

Makes more sense now to buy a second hand one. There are loads of very low mileage ones on the market and ex demos in just about any model and colour you want. At least you can be driving one in a matter of days. Plus they are a damn site cheaper than new ones.

From finding the one I wanted to driving her home was 4 days and two of those was getting the funds into the right bank account to pay for it.

I agree there are a few pre owned but my dilemma is my car was new to me and I have respected it - also it’s only done 14.6k.
I suspect most used M40i will have done as many or more?

My lack of a new one is also tempered by those inner thoughts that my car is still quite a desirable bit of kit. I suppose that’s the basis of a lack of real motivation?

Depends how much you want to pay for example.

The preliminary questions have been asked!

Good hunting. Noted that my ex 35is that was advertised as £26k is now taxed so someone, hopefully a member on here will have sourced themselves a nice car

Just thought I would give the latest update - car is now scheduled for late July.
We shall see...

So your car was ordered Sept 21 and it’s not going to be with you until July?

Steady on, lets not get counting any chickens yet!

ordered July 2021 - still no word on delivery, build. I'm sure the dealer has pulled a fast one and sold the slot for a better deal in 2022.

So frustrating. Totally get where you are coming from. Sent you a PM yesterday - but can't see it in my folder so I'm not sure I messed it up and closed browser before sending it. But yeah, it's just the wait game for both of us I guess.

Doesn't help that I'm in communication with a guy who is looking at a 14 week delivery from ordering (for a 30i)... according to the status codes, its about to be shipped.

[ronk]

I thought the extended delivery times were only M40i related?

[Russ Z4]

Dunno

[Russ Z4]

My mistake - we've just spoken, he's picking it up Tuesday from the dealership.
