Just got a VIN, locked now?
Hi,
I just got a VIN on myBMW! Last week we were able to get HK added as an option, it's still in, and I never lost my Air Suspension/Third Row Seat. Does this means I'm locked in? Thanks! |

Thanks, just don't want them to drop HK again. Had car stereo folks quote me well over $4k to upgrade a few speakers and add an amp/dsp.... Too expensive, so really hoping nothing changes on BMW's part now.

In order to proceed to production, parts for your vehicle had to be ordered. If there was an issue with availability, your order would have been delayed and flagged.

we'll keep our fingers crossed for you! There have been rare instances where the vehicle was missing items unbeknownst to the buyer until taking delivery.

I have been led to believe that once there is a VIN, things are indeed locked. As an example, I was told that the dealer could not legally change the wheels on a car because those were part of the VIN. Just what I was told. I suppose that would not apply to an owner changing wheels.

Congrats! My SA verified that once you get your VIN, your order is locked in!

You get a VIN when it reaches the “production begins” status. Note this doesn’t mean that they are actually assembling your car. It means they are reserving/ordering the components for your car. Actual physical building usually begins 1-2 week later.

I also just got my VIN today and the Production Begins notice. Like you I still have the HK but lost the Air Suspension. I was hoping it would become available again prior to production but now that I am in the Production stage with a VIN, I am guessing I am out of luck with getting AS added back.

If you’re at Production Begins status, I don’t think you can change anything. That means all the parts for your specific build are allocated and reserved for your build. I doubt your dealer can override that because it messes up the production system.

I read something on a post about air suspension orders in the UK that dealers in the UK were told it will not be an available option for build weeks from 14 to 26. Build week 14 is first week of April. If that is true Are you will to wait another 3 months?

Covid situation is getting worse globally so there can be another shutdown in future and worst supply chain issues. I think i will bite the bullet I just need some push from the people here but most of them are big on Air suspension and that is not making things easier for me 😫 |

For context for those waiting for their build, my car was borne today, but is still in QC (got there early afternoon). So 11 days after I got VIN.
