Have we just taken possession of the last Z4’s

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 :lol:

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 :lol:

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

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…?

I suspect from your username you are nine years younger than me - I’m now past my three score and ten!

No they couldn’t give me any idea at all. Apparently the chip shortage is causing carnage, with many cars they had due to be delivered in September now being delayed indefinitely.

Ha ha yes! I knew that username would catch me out one day!

 

[john-e89]

Seems like Sars jumped in right at the last minute then…

It’ll probably be ok Blaster, I’d imagine spring, they won’t want to lose face giving you a date just yet.

 

[john-e89]

Ronk why not put an order in and wait, you won’t lose anything on your 35is between now and spring, then on the remote chance there are more delays you haven’t lost anything.

I would rather sell privately than it go to a dealer and I dont want the risk of having an E89 and a G29 in April

It’s still available guys. Carwow old offers happen and sometimes that message comes up. You can still spec a new one on bmw site so it’s still being manufactured and is continuing.
You can also spec a new one on carwow.

Mine arrives next month…….probably.

You’d sell yours privately without any issue before you took delivery having been given a firm date though, you’d have at least two months Ronk, once a slot is confirmed really the only delay is waiting for them to get enough cars of one colour on order to make it worth them going to paint as the car is built in 24hrs.

Two yrs old article Ronk, based purely on conjecture.
