Like many others, my 550e has now been stuck in Quality Control. Today is 4 weeks since completion of production.


I’ve only seen one other person in the boards say his car has been released.

Anyone heard any additional information?


My patience is waning. Of course I have no alternative at the moment.


Thanks.

Sorry. I will have been stuck in QC for 5 weeks come tomorrow on a 540 build. No movement as of today.

Considering the 550e build that moved had an original production date of 9-5. My purely speculative guess is I’m lagging 6 days behind that.

I am on the same train. My 550e has been in QC for about 5 weeks. My 2nd lease extension on my 2021 M550 terminates in early November, so I am thinking of buying my car.

I was in quality control for 3+ weeks, then within a day or two was "at the port" and then it took 2+ more weeks to get on a boat. I don't know what is holding up things at the factory; I have ordered many cars in the past and QC took days not weeks.

It’s somewhat reassuring to know that this whole situation is NOT normal. As I blew through the 5th week mark and am heading towards 6, I’m starting to lack confidence in the Brand.

I think what’s most disappointing is that there has been no communication from BMW. While I can understand that they may not wished to address each case separately it would seem prudent to issue a global statement about vehicles rotting in “Quality Control” for weeks or months.

Curious now if this has to do w/ the additional options you added that aren’t standard eg 2VV?

My 540 has also been stuck in QC, I believe 5 weeks now. I don’t even bother checking the status anymore as I just get angry when I see it stuck on QC lol.

If we got some info from BMW I think it would help because being in the dark about a car we ordered is extremely annoying. My first custom order and this is how it’s going

Same! My first custom order. Might be my last custom order. I have a feeling ours are sitting in the same area of the factory.

I called Genius for the second time since the process started. I really feel sorry for these people. I wouldn’t want their job. They have no idea and no additional information.

I have a feeling she shook a magic 8 ball, and it came up with this:

My first special order 540i X has been in QC for 6+ weeks with no word. Dealer has no clue other than recalls. My order date was 6/30 and production date 9/5 (outside the recall window which ended 9/4).
I agree that even a global message from BMW would be nice!
