M240i quality check since December.

Tylorshields · 02-15-2022, 12:06 PM

Has anyone else car been in quality check for this long? I ordered the car in November. I hate waiting this long.

This seems excessive even by 'stuck in qc' standards. Have they provided any info besides 'part shortages'? I'm picturing a mountain of cars missing various modules etc and a nightmare sorting through which cars need what..
I ordered early December and got very lucky to avoid any major production delays, waiting on delivery to dealer now. Fingers crossed for you!

Did you get held in QC?

yanks1 · 02-15-2022, 03:52 PM

I was in QC for about 2 weeks... and once auto was shipped to USA port, RAM chip was installed in about 10 days & now in transit to dealer

I still would like to know the real story behind your car. I feel like after this long of a wait, you deserve a full accounting for everything that was damaged and replaced at the VPC.

Edit: Nevermind. I was thinking of LightningSVT in Michigan that has been in VPC purgatory hell since November.

Just got an update now it's in final assembly finally 😂😂

G42M240 · 02-19-2022, 10:47 AM

Just got the update that mine has entered final assembly. It was in QC since week 2 of Jan.

My SA sent me a text to let me know. However, he is under the impression it is being assembled in Germany haha.

What is a RAM chip?

BMWM.D. · 02-19-2022, 08:21 PM

Receiver Audio Module. It’s a control module; not a chip.

Why has to be same day? Lol. If we do it ourselves wouldn't it destroy the warranty?
