Z4 G29 Delivery Delays

If you are not bothered which to get and would be happy with either, play one dealer against the other and see what happens.
 
As in my previous posts I had a similar experience to delays in when the car would arrive so looked at the BMW website and rang a few BMW dealers to see if they had a car in stock I did want a white Z4 4.0i but only found a black one but with the correct option packages.

The supplying dealer could not have been more helpful and probably was the easiest sale that they have made.

I was happy as they had a physical car and the same dealer also stated that there would be no more new Z4 sales until 2023 due to a facelift that would include the new dash layout which I did not want.

There are cars out there but you need to call the dealer to find out who actually has them, the 1 to 3 weeks expected delivery dates on the BMW website are just expected dates and to be honest the first dealer caught me out as 1 to 3 weeks turned out to be 1 month with no confirmed date so I cancelled the order.

So... given all the G29 nightmares I have had.... I went out for a test drive with Alpine in the Peaks today. OMG. Smitten.
 
Have you told BMW yet? Think I’d take out an advert in the dealers local press and advertise your tail of woe with this dealer.

In other news, anybody want to buy a plate? :headbang:
 
Reading this thread with interest.

I’ve just ordered a new BMW through Tony Lewis (TRL deals) but also investigated a new Macan. Immediately told by Porsche it would be minimum 12 months. Sod that.

Apparently my car is being built in December for mid-Jan at the dealer. Fully expecting some slippage but it will be interesting to see how much given the volume of cars that TRL push through. First impressions of Tony have been very favourable. Very quick response, deal offered that nobody else could get close to.

Been watching Porsche too. It's more like 18-24(+) months at the moment.

I follow TRL on insta - not many Z4s coming out - but then again, not many people order them. Hope you have a better time of it than me. BMW's biggest problem seem to be with the 1s and 2s. There's not a great deal of info about the Z4 deliveries out there from as far as I can see. There has been an influx of Z4s to dealers over the late summer (they are on autotrader) but they seem to be hanging around. Missed the peak season I reckon.
 
Hi Russ - I’m so sorry to read the experience you’ve had. I hope you enjoy the A110. I’m sure you will and that this will be soon be a distant memory.

From what I can gather 128ti’s are one of the worst affected but I’m not surprised because there’s a lot of bespoke elements to that car inside and out that differ from the other 1-series cars.

So far very impressed with Tony.

Is that a pre-existing slot Tony had? That's some rapid turn around!

It was his first available slot Russ. He did say that BMW are producing less cars in Q4 22. Like I said earlier, let’s see if they meet that date. There seems to be a mixed bag of experiences out there and it seems a bit of a lottery but from what I can gather, 128ti’s and X3M40i or X3M40d have been some of the worst affected. I suspect M135i’s might be ok because BMW have just updated the model with some quite significant changes to the chassis/suspension and so may have been slowing production down on them earlier in the year to account for the changes. It’s not an LCI - I think that comes in 2023/24.
 
there you go Russ,

sell the black alloys and buy:

you'd have something fairly unique with the black mirrors, grille and black roll-over hoops. Sell the black wheels on eBay to pay for the cerium grey.
 
buys it off spec from the site and as the description is incorrect on the wheels i reckon the dealer would honour the description and swap the wheels anyhow!
