"car has dropped out if it's production slot"

Jasey · Post by **Jasey** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 7:06 pm

Got an email today stating the above.

Going to call the dealer tomorrow - Anyone know what's the most likely cause for this and what I should ask the dealer to ensure they aren't pulling the wool over my eyes.

Doesn't sound too promising that's for sure

Sure not the only one to ask this....actually dropped and smashed itself?

Sure that's not the case....could be holiday break like the Spanish and Italians.....

Not acceptable under any circumstances, holidays are known in advance and are scheduled into production plans.

Maximum bollocking would be my response.

Dealer says that he's had 3 x 35iS cars drop off the production today - He Is going to call BMW to see WTF is going on !

Will let you know what he says and if it's something to worry about - he seemed to be saying it might be something to do with the "Big Engined" variants on several models

Accept no BS. You're the customer and paying a lot of money. See what they can offer you spec wise by way of recompense.

Good luck

Hope you get it sorted

We were told that any of the customer specs can make it drop off, (and yes it is all customer spec stuff as they are built to order) Our valencia orange with black roof was on and then off and is now back on again, so hope that is the case for you too. BTW we are only going for the 2.0 so maybe the larger engines are the issue as well.

Good luck as it is hard enough waiting until around the 15th September without it being pushed further back!

Just heard from a different source (BMW Dealership) that "all engines 3.0 and above have moved back until at least December"

FFS !!!!!!

I'd cancel, there's plenty more fish in teh sea and manufacturers need to learn how to treat customers.

Interesting as to get the current deals the car needs to be registered prior to the end of December. Too many deals been taken up? Probably not but if it's going to be that long will they still allow the deal?? You would hope so

I Have just spoke to my dealer about my order and he says that BMW system says that all orders for Z4 now show as Dec, but that must be wrong. As last week when i first enquired he had a build slot for Sept. He said he is going to speak to BMW Wholesale (who ever they are) and let me know.

Why would there be a hold up on z4's or 35is models

Jasey · Post by **Jasey** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 12:50 pm

According to my dealer this can happen with BMW - They take away build slots (presumably because there aren't enough orders built up in the system).

Then all the people with orders complain like fcuk to the dealers and then BMW give the production slots back !

He seems to think the production slots will be back in a week or so.

If mine isn't BMW will have lost at least 1 customer - FOR LIFE !!!!!!!
