My 22 540i Experience
I would like to share my experience for the 540 order with rest of your bimmerholics. I lost my beloved 440GC to hurricane Ida back in September, with the chip shortage, the timing cannot be any worse. Luckily, my insurance company came through with a big check.
I found a dealership that offered me a 6% off MSRP through a broker. Below is my timeline. Placed the order on 10/11 Car went into production on 10/25 Came off the line on 11/2 At the Port on 11/5 Left Germany on 11/18 Now the ship has one more stop before arriving Charleston for PCD. So far, there isn't any stop sale on my car, and hopefully it stays that way. This is my fifth BMW and first time ordering a build, despite the chip shortage I feel like this timeline is actually normal. I hope I can get my hands on my new car before xmas. So excited!! |

We are at Charleston too and waiting on a stop sale recall. Hoping to do PCD before the new year but .....
Heard a rumor all PCD slots are full for 2021 but you how rumors are. If our 540 was for me and not my wife, I'd have the same color car as you. Love that color. |

Based on my experience, that's even quicker than what was usual back in the day. That's great news! Best of luck, post pics when you get it.

this is helpful. I'm pretty active on the G05 forum with all its production drama. my wife's G30 lease is due in March 2023 so it looks like we'll order NLT Sept this year (no dealership allocation issues in past 13 years with them)

broker used?
Hi - would you mind sharing information on the broker you used?
I am in the market for a similar car, 540i xDrive (almost fully loaded) and I was thinking about using a broker. In the past, I would typically call a couple of dealers, but from what I am reading, given this current market, a broker may be able to get me a better deal. Thank you, Luis Quote:
