That said it's not so unusual in the universe of Just In Time inventories for some glitch in the supply chain to hold things up. There are thousands of parts in a BMW, after all, and their supply base is likely spread all over the world. Just one supplier with a quality problem that propagates far enough into the chain before it's detected could cause a serious shortage.

Not in the auto industry, but I've been involved in cleaning up my share of supply chain disasters.

You should call up your CA. He/she should certainly have a production number and approx. build date by now. As stated, I ordered my X5 in late Oct. and it's completed and on its way. And, I didn't have a quick allocation as others have here.
