I ordered an M5 in January, production slated for wk 18. I’ve been tracking it... 2 weeks ago, status changed from “order received” to “scheduled for production.” Yesterday, it moved again... backwards... to “order received.” I called Genius, got the automated system, was told “order received, no confirmed production date.”

Considering the severe impacts of COVID, I can’t be angry or frustrated... I just need to put a plan together. My current lease (Benz) ends in 3-4 weeks, and I’ve extended it twice (don’t ask how... wasn’t easy) and won’t be able to do so again.

Any insight on what I can (or can’t) expect in terms of the impact on production schedule/expected delivery? Thanks in advance, appreciate any thoughts or info.

Stay safe.
I do not think anyone’s crystal ball can predict when things will get back up to speed. I commented a while back that I think for non-critical consumer goods it will likely be early 2021 until we’re back up to at least 50% of pre covid production levels - I hope I am wrong though
