UK… ordering to delivery

[MK_Surrey]

I think the question we're all thinking is how long have you been camped out at the dealership for that pic I'd be doing the same thing

Congrats dude

I just got notified that mine has left the factory

The dealer sent this to me. But, I may as well have been.

I honestly feel like a kid at Christmas.

Hi everyone,

Congraz to everyone who is about to collect their car or recently collected.

For us waiting, things may get worse. According to various news sources BMW stopped production at all European factory including MINI in Oxford and their engine production in Steyr, Austria . Its seams that a major supplier of wiring harnesses in the Ukraine are having issues(for obvious reason). Considering how much bmw hardware is used on the supra I'm afraid I probably won't get my car this year lol. A couple a weeks ago I was told October 2022 who know how much these events will affect that estimate. Honestly at the end of the day it's a car and there are currently much worse events going on.

If any of you have info from dealers post it here so we can cross reference delivery estimates.

Thanks

I'll ask my dealer when I pick the car up this week and let you know. Things don't look good.

My thoughts exactly when I saw the other post on the forum about this.
I’m sure BMW will be taking steps to find new suppliers from elsewhere as everyday their production is down is going to be costing them perhaps millions.
But there will be an increased lead time. I’m guessing this could be up to 6 months but as you’ve said I find it hard to really get too disappointed by this when put into perspective of what’s going on and just how much suffering people are being put through.
I want a supra but I don’t need one so for now I’m happy to sit this one out. I’ll just keep saving for a bigger deposit and see what happens.
TBH I saw the supra as a play it safe experiment for me to trial a 2 seat sports car with an auto.
I’ve always driven manuals up to know and have my eye on an Emira for perhaps mid 2024 when there is some consensus on if the car is all it’s cracked up to be and will be good enough in its 2l auto format.
If this wait goes on for too long I may start looking elsewhere.
I could still look at used options of both Cayman and supra but we all know they’re not worth what you’ve got to pay right now and deals on buying new are the best

I hope mine still comes as it got built yesterday would be interesting to find out. How long would you say it took from built to collection? Someone said 5weeks... I'm getting impatient like a kid at Xmas haha ? let us know when you get it

 

[Chappers]

On another note did you guys get any of the package add ons like supaguard, gap n small damage repair?

 

[MK_Surrey]

Got to go and see her in the flesh yesterday! There is a used Supra behind beside the Yaris. Having not seen one to seeing two was amusing.

No official word on supply chain issues, but this thing is really just starting.

The dealer ordered a yellow demo car the same day that I did, and they are currently on an August 2022 ETA. ?!

I only took GAP insurance. I think that's sensible and it's really reasonably priced. But each to their own. Some will get comfort knowing they have other policies.

 

[MK_Surrey]

And she's home!

 

[Chappers]

And she's home!

That's awesome ?? I bet you're itching to take it out?

Dealer said estimated delivery is 1st April for mine and its on the boat over as we speak.

Guessing it should be at the dealer here within next week or two

I'll ask about the supply chain issue when I next speak to them

Congrats Surrey! I’ve just about lost all hope I’ll be seeing my Supra in any decent UK weather this year. Maybe mid-late autumn but possibly even 2023 now looking at the way things are turning out. You guys got lucky I think! Last boat load for a while perhaps chappers?!

have you got the MyT app? any updates on there? surely yours should be rolling off the line just after mine?

Yeah I’m on the app, usually check it twice a day ?
I’m still stuck at “Processing order” and based on the news re. more and more manufacturers having to pause production I’m not very hopeful to be honest.

So do I haha, I'm a bit disappointed my mate ordered a porsche, admittedly before I ordered the supra, but his was built a day after mine, he went to see it at the dealer yesterday ?, I'm desperate for mine now I'm seriously hoping it'll be at the dealer this week.
