While their communication stinks, think about what BMW is managing through - it's a logistical nightmare because there are so many different issues they're dealing with (RAMs, wire harnesses, ship availability, etc.) and every car's status is unique. It would be impossible for them to keep track of what's going on with every car. I'm not making excuses for BMW, but my job puts me in contact with lots of companies across the country in lots of different industries, and there are issues everywhere - production delays in SE Asia, availability of shipping containers, delays loading ships in Asia, delays unloading ships here, shortage of trucking capacity, labor challenges, blah, blah, blah ...
Again, I know the wait sucks, but trust me - once you get in the driver's seat, mash the go peddle, and navigate down a nice twisty road you'll forget all about the delivery delay and realize ... yes, the wait really was worth it! The car is that good.

I think you're right and I think I'll forget about this painful experience once I'm behind the wheel. I originally ordered the car in september last year, so roughhly the same timeline as you. I'm expecting it in a couple weeks, i think.
