Stuck in quality check?

Anyone else stuck in quality check since mid Dec?
On mybmw my m550 has been stuck on QC since 12/9. My build completion date was set for 12/10. I haven't had any updates since 12/9 and my CA and bmw genius have no information. I requested an escalation with bmwna last week and a case manager called me earlier. Mentioned she was going to contact a regional bmw department.

Just wondering if anyone is out there with the same lack of updates on their December build. I suspect it's an update issue and hope the car is on its way but no way to verify, yet.

My M550 is hitting the port tonight and has the same issue with the RAM for the standard HK radio. I have read everything from 1 week to 4 months, pls send me an update if you get yours and good luck!

eliphil, I assume your car is either on the Horizon Highway or the Hawaiian Highway. When you look up your VIN on https://bmw-recall-tool.netlify.app/, what message do you get? My car is arriving on the Hawaiian Horizon tonight and have the HK also. I get "no open issues" on the website. Hard to understand how one has the stop sale and another doesn't when they were built and shipped at roughly the same time. Very puzzling.

My situation is somewhat unique as i bought a built car from an out of state dealer that informed me at the time of a stop sale due to the radio RAM so i know my situation. My car is on the HH vessel, have been tracking for 10 days. Looks like our cars have been shipmates!! I am pressing my dealer to make my car a priority one dont know what that will do. They did assure me the car stays enclosed until its released.

eliphil well, that still sucks. Good news is the ship is maneuvering up to the dock right now assisted by the harbor tugs Dorthy Moran and Ann Moran (must be sisters;-). Hopefully they fix yours and you get it soon. Best wishes.

I'm still tracking my first order (I gave the order back to the dealer and submitted a new order) and it was stuck in the paint booth for 4 weeks. Then yesterday it went all the way through to awaiting carrier assignment.

My new order still shows 'error' when I try to add it to my garage. I would expect it to show 'order received' by now -- it's been about 4 weeks and I have a confirmed production number.

Are you dumping your first order?

Yes, the dealer has the car as one of their 'In Transit' vehicles. I don't know if they intend to sell it from the lot or trade it to another dealer.

It was missing the Parking Assist Package that I ordered, and I was told that it was on the order sheet and Germany removed it. Understandable in today's environment.

So the dealer offered me their next allocation and we submitted a new build order. I'm waiting for it to populate on MyBMW to verify it will be built correctly.

eliphil You're welcome. Your dealer is obviously better than mine. Haven't heard a peep from him since the car was sitting at the German port in mid-December. I found out everything else on my own.

Well I figured out on my own how to track the car but they did inform me it was at the port. Supposedly they can influence timeline if they make enough noise which u may want to do. There are some posts about priority one status that can be requested by dealer, not sure how true it is

I was assured by the dealer that a special order car was a priority one at the factory. My order sheet also states Priority: 1 - Customer Sold.

The problem now is that most people special order, so everyone is a PRI-1.

you are right sir, best we can do now is to hound the dealer who can make a difference. They told me the car will stay enclosed and not in the elements until it ships to the dealer I hope thats true

At this point for me it's obvious dealerships can influence production and delivery time beyond build week allocation. Most do not mention this and they let the factory do their thing.

For anyone stuck at a status for an unusual amount of time hound your sales person and they can pull strings.

make sure there is an open work order for your car. On a side note my dealer is showing my car on his website as available which is really bothering me. I am awaiting a response although I guess this is standard practice for all of them.

Hello all👋🏻 My car is allso stuck at quality check in Dingolfing, and has been since December 1, and still was last time we checked last friday. Dealer says its the actual amplifyer for the HK stereo and not Ram modul, but my guess its the same thing.. Am starting to get a bit restless to get my new car now, but what can you do than just wait🙈 Here is the car i am waiting for🥰
