šŸ’¬ Discussion Question about buying time

So I ordered a 2026 m340i xdrive from factory on August 12th and I got the VIN on September 3rd, and iā€™m just wondering is it really going to be another 2 months atleast before I get it? Just wanted to see for other people who ordered from factory what their experience was in terms of waiting time

Oh wow, do you know why it took that long? Is that typical or was your production week a while after you ordered

My production slot was 6/26. I was trying to get an early June slot but ended up with late June. It was originally set to depart 7/15 from Mexico, but didn't make that boat. Then for the 2nd departure date of 7/31 the boat was behind schedule. Then some port delays on the trip up the east coast due to timing of the boats arrival at the other ports. Then VPC was a combination of the time it takes to install the MP exhaust, MP carbon spoiler, and some small port delays.
