Im on rennilst, I still dont know.
![]() I guess the obvious thing is to find out who builds equipment for these foundries and what commodities (if anything strange) goes into this on the manufacturing side. As I gather the existing guys cant produce more than they can anyway, and they will be investing into extra capacities but someone builds all this equipment. But sounds complicated. |

P.S. someone said this is the most boring thread in a car forum ever! I respectfully disagree! We started with news of BMW component shortage and production delays, then analyzed the root cause, then learned about automotive electronics supply chain and semiconductor industry and now are discussing investment options ![]() |

Not just impacting car manufacturers. I ordered a refrigerator in October. It was delivered last week in April. Had been using a dorm room model since it broke last October. If you're thinking of replacing appliances, better plan for this. And have a plan B in case an existing unit fails.

BMWCCA1,
If the bulletin is dated 5/6/21, does this mean that cars produced before that date will have the usual standard specs? My M2C was produced 4/29 and went into "final quality check" on 4/30, where it remains. Many thanks for the info! |

Likewise, if the car was built before these items were removed, it will show in the MSRP report even pre-production. What that shows is how it will be built. It was a DCSnet message to all dealers and salespeople dated 5/6 with an attached "grid" which I condensed in my post. If a car is on-order and in conflict with these restrictions, it will be listed as Status 105 whether it is in May or June production. Those 105 cars will be modified, dealers notified, and their status updated—if not already, then within days. |

This is 110% confirmed?

Sadly, BMW still has not put out any official statement, beyond the MINI line being shut down. But yes, X7 40i M-sport down for rest of MY2021. maybe all of 40i. Maybe entire plant.

It's been virtually non-existent. No official statement. I'm speculating that the situation is currently very dynamic, and the results haven't been finalized yet. If so, I can understand BMW reluctance to issue a statement.
We're definitely at the point, though, where BMW at the very least needs to make some official statement like "Production of model lines X, Y, Z are currently shut down for an unknown length of time. Similarly, options A,B,C,D, on models X,Y,Z are not available for now."
