Time for an M5

NoMods · 01-09-2022, 07:31 PM

So the local dealer said 8 months avg if I order one, is that really the case?

I’m not sure if things have gotten worse of late but I ordered mine end of July and it will be at least 6 months by the time I take delivery. If I’m lucky. It’s currently stuck at the port waiting for a part.

Good luck!

I think 8 months is fairly accurate. I'm seven months into this and car's been sitting in Baltimore for 4 weeks. They still don't have any parts so 8 months would seem realistic, at least in my case.

wow that sucks, it must be painful having it so close but stuck at port 0 what's the part holding it up?

Plus if you order now, you're going to be short a few options. I'm waiting. I keep wrecking my beaters anyway.

It's at Port waiting a RAM (Radio Audio Module) retrofit, essentially a chip or several chips for the radio.

Every time I go to start my beater I step on the brake like I’m about to push the start button. Then I turn the key lol

depends who what when where, if the dealership has an allocation, and its an allocation for a very close build date, it won't take that long (i ordered my car aug 11, allocation was for october build date, car was set to be delivered mid december, but got damaged at the port. ordered another one in late november, set to get done mid january so in a week or so, then itll be here for delivery late feb or early march). if your dealer has an allocation for may or june yeah itll take 8 months

my dealer told me also recently ordering early enough. Was thinking 3 month, like it was more or less normal, now he was telling me 6-7 month and I come from Germany! Regards, Björn
