BMW Production Halts due to War! (Update): BMW To Gradually Resume Production At German Factories Next Week

[STSGT3]

BMW is being forced to stop production of BMW and Mini cars in its German and other European plants after Russia's invasion of the Ukraine halted deliveries of key components from suppliers in Ukraine. Although the article doesn't specifically mention this, I assume this impacts Supra production as well because production at BMW's engine plant in Steyr, Austria, will also be suspended.

Damn no wonder I had to cancel my 2022 3.0 premium order from Toyota and buy a low mileage 2021. They promised me a date and later said no guarantees it's coming in.

I guess this is the same for VW Group?

My Mk7 Golf-R is worth a fortune now.. 2017 with 8k whopping miles.

I think Magna Steyr has already been contracted to produced XXX amount of cars. When production is delayed it might just pushed back the SOP date. Let's just say this last for 4 months. If the end of production was originally scheduled for March of 2026 it might be extended to July in order to fulfill the all the units that was agreed upon.

Welp, if you're in the market to sell your MKV, now is the time!

Yup, I agree. This situation would just mean increased production delays, not necessarily less production numbers overall.

Possibly, but that would push back other companies that use them to build their new products.

Maybe there is a clause in the contract that says "in case of war, acts of God, etc...we are not liable for output"

Who knows.
