regarding the touchscreen, these were also removed last year on some October and November builds but only seemed to affect US models only all of the European deliveries seemed to be unaffected from what I was reading but possibly now they have run out of these so I guess you would have to use the iDrive controller to navigate etc

Having spoken to SA @dealership, it's deletion of "touch" functionality on the iDrive controller and not the touchscreen.
The Wi-Fi one is a temporary one. Which will be updated with a software upgrade.
I was advised by the SA no other deletes other than the ones mentioned.
I did know HK delete was happening when I placed the order.

Was closely following this topic this year as ordered my car at the beginning of November. Production, in general, was done towards the end of November, and after that was waiting for RAM to be installed.

I'm not from UK though (but from Europe), but got details from the dealership that at some point my G05 was transferred to Germany for this module to be installed there, so from this point delivery should be pretty quick, I believe. Now the excitement is more and more building up.

Received my reg yesterday. I asked if they could go out and check if it had touchscreen, someone went for a look but it was still in transport mode or PDI can't quite remember. Anyway, he couldn't check as nothing showed up in the screen as the software needs to be loaded up during vehicle collection prep.

There is no 6UY deletion code on my order spec on their system though.

I got my reg too, delivery will be March 1st. No compo for any of the delays either. Just glad to finally get the car!

I was told European cars werent affected by the touchscreen deletes. Only 3 series and 4 series in the uk/eu were effected

Does any one know what's the reason for the deletion if it can be fixed with software later on? Is it that they had to put a different chip in and have yet to write bespoke software for it? I would have thought that could have been done pretty quickly?

Having spoken to my SA, I was assured that it was a temporary one. And will be fixed before delivery at the Dealership.

There really is a wealth of information on this forum and I thank each and everyone who contribute. Now reaching out from Sweden for possible input or answers on a production and delivery issue.

Been waiting for a new X5 45e some time now and the dealer's information has been lousy throughout. Build week was W46 2021 (mid-November, i.e. three months ago) and delivery was initially scheduled for late January, then late February, then late March. Having raised the question of cancellation of the contract or the taking of other appropriate legal action, I have now finally managed to squeeze out some information. Allegedly, the car couldn't be fitted with one or more critical components upon production and had to remain in Spartanburg until the components were available and could be retrofitted. Up until now - three months after production - this has not happened. But apparently BMW Sweden are "hoping" the components could be fitted in February and the car then shipped to Europe.

This raises a couple of questions:

1. Would a delay of three months since build week seem reasonable if the only issue was a missing component? Or do I need to smell a rat here?
2. If it is a component issue: Would the car really remain in Spartanburg to be retrofitted with the component or would it be shipped to Bremerhaven and the issue taken care of there?
3. If the car is shipped to Bremerhaven in that state: Who will be fitting the component there? BMW personnel? Or someone from the Bremerhaven Port Authority or the shipper? (I know for a fact that some shippers provide services like that.) As you can imagine, I sense a quality issue here.

What do you make of this, my friends?

Don't envy your situation at all. Hopefully things should move in the right direction. Just out of curiosity have you managed to get a VIN? This would help in tracking your order?

I am sure others would come up with better suggestions as well.

Yes if you have the VIN put in in the link below you might get some information

https://bmw-recall-tool.netlify.app/

The main issues here seem to be all related to AMP / Touchscreens and those cars are getting fixed along the way. Take a look at this thread there was a recall with some X5’s due to issues with the fuel tank that’s the only other recall I have seen but seemed to be for US cars.

Hopefully you get some movement soon

Exactly the same situation as me with my X3m, built in October, sat waiting an amp. It's apparently now due March the 7th. I won't hold my breath though ….. system is still showing code 9000 and outstanding hold isn't complete. But then I do know the system isn't updating as it would normally

Mine was exactly the same for several weeks but finally changed yesterday to status code 193 (Arrived at port of exit), delivery date 7th March..... but like you, I'm not holding my breath!

My car should arrive tomorrow, fingers crossed. You know whats really annoying. Not a single apology for all the delays, nothing from the dealers at all. I dont think i would ever buy from this dealership again.

Hi,

When did you initially order you car?

I ordered my X5 on October 9th 2021 from Stratstone and I was told it was going to build at the beginning of Feb 2022 but that date was cancelled and Stratstone can't give me a new date yet.

[ColC]

July last year! its been a very long wait. The car was built in November, then sat in Germany since 22nd December. Originally meant to get the car by the end of last year if it werent for the SAM module and AMP. So two months from then, not one single apology

[Dave63]

Could be worse, I ordered in May and don't have mine yet. Primarily as they cancelled it in June and didn't tell me until a week before it was due in September.

Thankfully they've put me in a well spec'd 5 series for free until it comes so I don't mind how long it takes. I was told it would be late Feb / March but not heard anything yet. Not chasing either.

It's been handled incredibly poorly by BMW. I will be pushing for some goodwill. They need to acknowledge that specking, ordering and tracking a car build is part of the fun (sad I know &#129315 of buying a brand new car. If they had provided clear updates and revised estimated dates then I d have been a lot happier.

Still, I'm still on track for next week apparently. Though my car is still showing at status 9000! But I know the system is well out of whack!

[ColC]

Taken delivery of my car today. Its finally here, I told them not to wash it, they even left the big white plastic film on it. The only thing missing was a display key. I thought comfort access came with the display key. Apparently its all been moved to your phones digital key.

[Makefish]

Some of you must have taken delivey today so where are the pics? Those of us still waiting need to know there is hope!

my delivery was (still is) set for 6th March and car was supposed to ship from Zeebrugge last week (so I thought) it arrived on the 19th Feb looks like it didn't make one of the 3 boats to Dublin last week...

Anyway there are 3 more boats this week so should be on one of those the dealer could see there is a new load number against it which implies its scheduled for some boat but I suspect there are still backlogs they are working through there... but will post the pics once its finally lands!
