My M8GC build has gone from week 36 -> 37 -> 43 -> no build date scheduled due to B&W. Pretty frustrating, and I would have canceled already if I wasn't getting a substantial discount on the order.

For what it's worth it seems like inventory in general has a lot more "arriving soon" when you search around by different parts of the US. |

Oddly enough my 2nd 2020 M850i order arrived with the wrong wheels which puzzled both my CA and I as the order included the right wheels, i.e., that was not a change from the 1st order I did not accept to the 2nd order. One of the managers at the dealership whom my CA got involved basically stated that when BMW runs out of specific parts, e.g., wheels they will often substitute in order to complete the build. Thankfully my 1st order was still on their lot so they just swapped the wheels from it to my 2nd order. However, if B&W parts were unavailable and they just switched to H&K then I'd have once again told the dealer they are now the proud owners of two failed M850i builds. No way in hell I'd accept an 8-series without the B&W audio. |

Love the look of the B&W and definitely adds to the interior just wasn't a justifiable expense (to me) for the amount of butt in seat time, which I won't have that much of. Am looking into grabbing the B&W components (trim and light up door speakers). Seen a few available from wrecked 8ers on ebay, and looks to be plug n play. Hoping it works but we'll see.

I feel dumb here but where do I find that? I looked at the tracking page and I didn't find it?

Reading around on other forums it seems that the B&W requires some modification to the interior. Like cutting to make the opening etc so that is a no go for me. I'll do mechanical and electrical all day but won't touch upholstery.

Alright called them, production is to start week 46 (Nov 15th). I asked about my options the guy I was talking to said all options are schedule on my build. He also said that during paint mine will sit for up to 3-4 weeks at that stage, since it will be pulled off and done at a different location.
I did ask him, about how I have been reading the shortages delaying builds or getting options removed. He told me my individual build will have all options chosen and that a delay is always a possibility but says my build does not show any indicator (what ever that means) of being delayed, like some other builds. So I hope that all stays the same as what he said. lol
