530i First oil change; National Oil Shortage?

Sitting here at the dealership waiting on my first oil change. They come to tell me the oil is nationally backordered. They can’t tell customers this until the car is dropped off. Yikes. Anyone else experience this?

This is a first. Are they saying that the BMW 0W-20 isn't available?

I was told I require 0-W12 and there is a national shortage. He also went on to say they were supposed to receive some today but did not have a time for deliver nor could he tell how much oil they would receive. That have a long list of customers to get to before me. Not happy right now.

Yeah, that’s amazing that something they use so frequently is not available. Sorry about that, but they definitely should have notified you before you made the trip to the dealership.
