I hope I'm wrong, the plant gets after it, and they start shipping them in June or July. I work in manufacturing/construction and I know that shutting down and starting back up is a slow and expensive process, even with 100% capacity at restart. I really wish BMW would communicate this information to us. They know when the cars will be built, but aren't telling dealers. I'm fairly certain my order will be changed to a 2021 model and my dealer did say that could happen. I'm guessing BMW thinks they will lose orders if they tell people how long they are going to have to wait.
I just spoke to my contact at the dealership, and my X5MC is scheduled to go into production in a few weeks, with delivery by July 1. According to them, there isn't a delay in production. They also told me many X5M orders were cancelled by BMW, but luckily mine is still scheduled for production.
Maybe your dealer could figure something out for me, because my dealer doesn't know $&@). I ordered the car first week of January, absolutely no news other than we don't know anything and it may be a 2021 model.
