Morning @gloss guy have you had any updates on your x1 I’ve not checked with ours as yet I know u ordered before me in first instance
Hi Shellie. My dealer check’s the status every week on the BMW system and, as of a few days ago, it was still saying that delivery would be the last week of July. I remain doubtful though. For that to happen the car would need to go into production next week at the absolute latest and it hasn’t been locked down for production yet. The dealer is being straight with me as they are going on what the BMW system tells them, but they also told me when I ordered (end March) that lead times were around 5 months and the semiconductor chip shortage has worsened since then. I have already had the Harman/Kardon Surround Sound System option cancelled from the order, which is a pain. I would put my money on September at the earliest, but I’m prepared to be surprised. My order was slotted in to a cancelled order slot, so I should get it quicker than if that hadn’t happened.
Still going to see what happens when the July price list comes out, although the way that the scheme is going I’d be staggered if anything better comes on. The X1 PHEV would be a dilemma though, although that would mean going to the back of a very long queue again. I would think that BMW are selling so many of those to company car drivers (for the lower tax) that they don’t need to mess around with us lowly Motability folk though!
