Update on our X1 order. Having managed to nab a cancelled X1 order from another dealership, which shortened our predicted 5-6 months wait time to just 3 months, our supplying dealer has reported that our delivery date estimate of 23rd June has suddenly slipped to 30th July. They think that it is due to a component shortage (not sure if it’s the worldwide semiconductor issue which seems to be affecting more and more manufacturers, or something else altogether) but they hope to have more info next week. They think that this is not unique to our car and may affect all X1 orders, so others awaiting X1’s might be wise to check with their dealers after the Bank Holiday. They say that they have another customer who ordered an X1 in December, it was due this week and has also slipped to end of July, which will be 7 months (assuming that it comes then)!
So, in effect then, it turns out that BMW dealers are no different from any other dealer then – full of BS?
. Totally agree
