Talking Corona and car production

I'm wondering if X5 production already is delayed or delay is imminent because of the Corona virus.
Export from China is very low and I guess some Chinese parts are in a BMW
Are there already signs that production is slowing down?

I read something a couple of days ago about some carbrands (including BMW) have to slow down or shutdown production if the situation regarding Corona does not change. I hope not in your case, you’re already waiting for so long!

There is a factory in Italy producing an essential electronic system for a lot of German cars and that could become a problem. The factory is in the affected region and the factory is closed.

I don't know where battery production of the high voltage battery is done. I hope not in China.

"From March 2, all the other FCA plants in Europe and those of Renault, BMW and Peugeot will close too."

I think the next weeks we well feel the impact of this Corona mass hysteria.

Is yours already delivered? Or are you still waiting. I don't know if cars assembled in Spartanburg are effected by the closure of the Italian factory. Maybe they have a US based electronic supplier?
