Not an ‘X’ but is an Xdrive

Ouch! I know some Audi’s - mainly the eTron - are running at 4% of expected build rate due to critical parts still being manufactured in Ukraine.

There are i4 orders from June ‘21 still not in production. Even with my Project Manager head on I can’t make any sense of BMW’s build rationale. It’s all over the place! :o

This is the first car I ever ordered that is already out of manufacturing before it has even been built. They only have the low capacity versions that you can order now whilst mine is the high one.

Can you not get a personalised 72 one and put it on retention ready??

…………and slipped to Week 8 ‘23 from Week 51 ‘22, so end of February ‘23 at present. March delivery. I can’t say I’m in the least bit surprised as many others are having exactly the same experience. It might be the latest recall for bad morris (premature bearing failure on a batch) and a battery issue affecting cars produced in Oct/Nov has removed components for production as they need to go on repairs.
