Production Delays?
I just read an article indicating that BMW production is being impacted by the Ukraine crisis as it obtains vehicle wiring harnesses from a German supplier with manufacturing plants in the Ukraine.
I have a G30 scheduled for week 13 production. Has anyone heard any additional details about this issue and what delays this may cause at Dingolfing? |

I read that BMW production plants in Munich and in Dingolfing will be off-line starting next week. It did not say how long, but until they can find a replacement for the wiring harnesses, probably for a while.

Just called BMW genius, they said I am still on for week 12. They did confirm, as others mentioned above that the Munich plant is closing temporarily and they said BMW has not specified a re-open date.
I checked the M3-M4 pages as someone mentioned above. Some individuals who had week 11-13 builds are now pushed back to Week 15 and some as far as back as 18-20… |

All the 5ers are built in Dingolfing, which is currently closed because of lack of wiring harnesses made in Ukraine.

The 11th digit in the VIN indicates the factory.
Some G30 5-series are built in Austria. C = BMW Dingolfing, Germany W = Magna Steyr Graz, Austria https://www.magna.com/company/newsro...w-bmw-5-series

Don't get me wrong, we are thrilled with our 5'er no matter where it was built. Also, considering what we paid (well below MSRP) and the .9% financing and supply chain restraints, and PCD, we are blessed beyond words. And I don't use the word blessed often.

Has anyone that was confirmed for week 12+ received any confirmation of their build week since the factory closing?
I was confirmed for week 13 up until Monday (3/7), now just showing out of production. I spoke with the dealer and genius line they said most 5 series they have seen are out of production, just checking if anyone here has received any good news... |

On Monday 3/7 my week 13 build went back to 111 status. As of Friday 3/12 it was back to 112 status. BMW CSR confirmed week 13 production was the current status as of yesterday. It looks like its back on track, but who knows if that's true?
As usual, I will check the vehicle production status daily until the vehicle goes into 150 status, then impatiently await its VIN number assignment so I can stalk it onto a boat and daily track its journey at sea on Marine Traffic |
