Any idea what the ETA is and if I am affected by this? I'm pretty new to all of this so I'm not sure what the accessory/ item codes are. If someone could help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Just a data point. I put in an order on 12/12 then my status was updated to "production begins" on 12/16.
Option codes can be found in the ordering guide on one of the sticky threads. Please let us know what production week you are when you find out.

That's not a upgrade, although I appreciate the joke

I ordered mine on December 12th as well. Mine is still Production Scheduled. Dealer told mine was production week 1. What is your production week?

Keeping my fingers crossed. I’ve read about the QC purgatory.
I’ll keep you posted

I spoke with some people in BMWNA's executive team who were very interested to hear about my issues and those of some people I've seen. While I'm not sure what will happen, I believe this has created a fire with enough fuel to fix some things. I have a direct number for one of the people and should hear back by 12/29. I'll keep you guys updated.

tell that executive that people are furious on the forum and get their production back on track. Also, to fix all bugs before mine enters the production.

To be blunt, there are other issues to I brought up which are valid and should be fixed. While you may find this funny, I don't think they would've taken the time to listen and converse if what I was was nonsense. You'd be surprised by what can happen when taking to the right people. I don't know what will happen if anything but I'm sure it's creating a lot of internal chatter right now

Going to break open some bottles of scotch for that! Perhaps some tequilla too!

I’ve entered into Quality Check as well but I ordered the i40 and I’m in PA.
