That, and having waited so flipping long, only to have it taken away at the last moment, and then they start crowing about how great it is in the 7 / 8 series.
Seriously annoying.

Anyway, I am now back to a build slot at end of June - delivery july.
Do I dare think it will actually be that?
It might be a silver lining, if they switch you to the MY23. If they slap together a MY22 and kick it out the door after 9+ months of waiting, I'd be upset. I don't think 23s are produced until mid-July so it might be the case. But I'm also in the US so things might be different. But probably not since it's all coming from the same factory in Germany.

Just for perspective, I ordered on July 6 of last year and received the car by August 23rd. I may have gotten lucky and I think my dealer had already placed an order for an M550 and just let me change around options, so I didn't have to wait for an allocation. When I was calling dealers just a few weeks prior to July, they were telling me only MY21s were being produced at that time and that I'd have to place a custom order for a MY21 and take delivery in September.

So depending on how honest your dealer is, it can be as soon as August for a MY23 M550 or September for a MY22. I think there were people who ordered in April of 2021 for a MY21 and still didn't have their cars when I got my MY22 in August.
Just jumping in on this ….. as per my post in another thread. I'm seeing 2023 VIN numbers (P digit)on units in transit to my part of the world that were built in April and May ….. anyone know if the digit in the VIN is absolutely definitive of the MY change ? Perhaps things have gone haywire with the disruption s.

My order flipped to 150 this morning, with a build date of 20 - 23rd of this month.
Being honest, I'm not remotely fussed about the MY year - I will have it for the next five all being well.
Here in the UK there are now two registration periods per year (to stop the 'August rush')
It will be nice just to drive something decent for the first time in 20 odd yrs, having been forced down the route of 'Benefit In Kind' vehicles for so long.

Yeah the MY is not so much of an issue in the UK because of the plate system unless there are spec difference. Here the vehicles are typically valued by MY regardless of when it's first registered.

Which units? Some models are already shipping as MY23 such as the 8 series. I believe G30 MY23 begins July.
