That's not entirely true, while priority 1 means yours would get the chip over an unsold unit, that's if they still have chips haha....

Thus far the RAM issue has not been resolved on my car - I somehow thought w all the chip delays we weren't going to be subject to this delay as well, but alas that is not the case.

Its impacting a lot of the line - there's a pretty big thread over in the G80 section discussing as well - and generally it seems cars are moving thru the RAM recall issue at the VPCs pretty quickly.

Fingers crossed.
You and me better be meeting up at the performance center! I'm actually super flexir on dates so might be fun to try to see if I can get the same day as you🤣🤣. Has yours done the recall yet? Mine hasn't.

Yup, I am in the same boat too. I've had a work order in place since it arrived at the port. The parts are not there, it's been sold since the order was placed.

Is your car sitting at the port in the states or in Germany? How long has it been sitting there?

Yeah I'm pretty flexible on date as well - I'll keep you posted.

No, mine has not cleared the RAM issue yet. As a matter of fact, over the past week, it has gone back and forth between in-transit and at port probably a half dozen times and currently sits at port (now we know this is Charleston) - but the question is - is it truly at the port or is it at the VPC up in Greenville?

Are you using the Alex Bond recall tool to track yours? https://bmw-recall-tool.netlify.app/

Yeah I'm using the tool. I doubt it's at the port still after all this time... they go by train to the factory from the port so I'd assume whenever a shipment of x cars went to port ours got loaded onto the train to go to the factory. (Honestly I'm happier to know my car is going on an enclosed train than an open car carrier lol). I just wonder how accurate the tool is or rather how soon after completion does it update in the tool.

If you're flexible too I think it'd be fun to put a face to the name haha. At least since both our cars met we should too🤣

How do you know what port it’s at? I live in Charlotte and my dealer is also here. Guessing mine is at an east coast port as well but I don’t see any info in MyGarage.

It won't show you at the garage. Call the bmw genius and they will let you the exact port location.

And they’ve given you no update whatsoever as to when your part will be installed?

It's so weird... someone I know with an m3 just got theirs a week ago, said it took about a week to get through the stop sale, in port of jersey. I guess every port is different...

Nope. It's been crickets. Genius has no idea when it will be released. Worst part is that the lease rate went up in November from .00093 to .00111. I should have received the car last month.

is your credit app not locked in? The original app was good for something like 90 days. We let mine float in October (cause that was when i was supposed to get the car) and the rate went from .00093 to .00096 (in my case 7 bucks a month). Given everything going on in the economy, it's not hard to guess that rates were going to go up. I called my CA right before the first of November and had him re-up the app (you take a small hit to your credit score when they check credit) and that locked me in at .00096 for the next 90 days. That .00111 in my case would represent about 40 bucks a month. If I get beyond this approval (another 90 days) and at some point become subject to .00111 or higher - pretty good chance I'll walk. I can afford it - but you have to draw a line somewhere.

I will say - my CA fully intended to keep my credit app floating until AFTER the November rates were released (can't blame them for trying to maximize their profit either). Gotta stay on top of this stuff.

I didn't realize there is a lock. They did run the full app. The order sheet from bmwgroup.com has my production number and my name on it. So I assume the car is sold to me.

You should double check. I called my guy after sending my last reply to you and he confirmed my rates are locked in until the car gets to me.
