Yeah, looks like a real shortage issue here.

So anyone else moved into 112 with Week 15 due, bet those that have the car about to go into prod are getting excited.

Will check ours later next week expect it to be moving to 112 then with any luck.

Did read some parts shortage on the 20" alloys but that might just be a blip or the dealer making things up as to delays you never know.

Things are finally moving for me... The wait between production begins and production actually beginning was painful - thanks Kavatski for setting my expectations accordingly lol. Fingers crossed it's on a ship somewhere in the mid-atlantic by the end of April.

2023-03-18: My order placed (it was an existing dealer production slot that was already 112 that was modified for me)
2023-03-24: Production begins - entered production queue
2023-04-04: Exterior body assembly begins
2023-04-05: In the paint booth

That’s great, I got lucky and was able to jump into an existing build slot a few weeks back for week 15, seeing as I had some very bad luck with Audi last year I was owed some fortune!

Thanks - yes getting an existing slot really moved things along. Yours should be on the go now too. Less time in transit for you too!

Things are moving along quite nicely!

There's 4 WW ships heading to Halifax in the last 2 weeks of April, hopefully I'll be on one of them!

Getting closer by the day bet you can’t wait.

Do you know if it's been built with i-Drive 9?

I can’t wait - I’m surprised BMW hasn’t rate limited my IP for how often I’ve been checking the tracking site lol.

It would be a pleasant surprise but I suspect there is zero chance of it happening. I’m in Canada and from all the speculation I’ve read across the forums it’s that iDrive 9 is starting with the gas only UK versions at some point later this model year, and will then be rolling out to all X1’s for MY24. I’ll be sure to update though.

[pmark837]

I'm also a week 18 build.

[drrocky]

Ordered an X1 on April 5. It is scheduled for starting production during Week 19 (May 8-12).

[parky1215]

Week 18 people, stay strong! I think our cars' tracking status should move up to next step within 2 weeks.

Finally decided to pull plug for bmw x1... unfortunately most dealers said new petrol will be only available by the end of the year or next. So we decided to go for Mazda cx60 Homura with Driver assistance and Convenience package with the same price of x1 M sport we booked and will be delivered next month. This community was great and enjoyed a lot over here in the forum. Thanks for the support as well.

Enjoy your Mazda! I would have considered that model if it was available in USA. Unfortunately, we only have CX50 and CX90.
Other mini SUV I am considering is 2024 Lexus NX350 F Performance. Maybe if my order gets delayed, I will drop by Lexus dealer to check it out.

Sounds like we're in the same production cycle. End of May would be great, but I'll be "happy" with anything before the end of June. Fingers crossed we have missed all of the recalls and nothing else happens between now and delivery. I'm having the dealer PPF the bumper and tint the driver and front passenger windows - I hope they're quick with that.

[335d Touring Xdrive]

UK X1 23d MSport
Ordered 28/12/22
Original eta build date week 12.
Delay after delay now eta build date week 26.
Not happy!

[MontyB1]

Oh no have they said why? At least it’s not at the end of the year like some, fingers crossed it doesn’t shuffle back again.

[parky1215]

Any idea which week is the start of production date for 2024 model?

Implementation of ID9 so i am told.

[Tomduck]

That’s wierd as I was told all April build of ICE for UK are id9 and I was offered a slot a few weeks ago for a 23d which was to be delivered in May. It sometimes all seems so random 🤷🏼
