Delivery of parts timeframes

[Moh_333]

Hi guys.
Hope your well.

Was anyone ever in a situation waiting for parts from BMW for their vehicle to get repaired?

Lyndhurst Auto Repair called to say that there's a few parts that are on back order to fix car and will be coming from Germany.

Right Rear shock, Right rear control arm and mirror cover.

They said around 14 Feb delivery.
Any chance parts would or could come earlier?

Thanks

Yeah there is a chance.
There is a chance they will arrive later too.

Strange they dont keep stock of those items.

 

[Moh_333]

Yip....it is strange.
Well nothing we can do but hang on, wait and drive the Hyundai Atos insurance gave

[DieselFan]

BMW last year had a turnaround time of 6 weeks for parts delivery, their contract with the previous delivery service ended, which left orders at a stand still.

Your parts should arrrive in a week.

I waited over 2 months for my shock mounts from germany last year when BMW lost the contract with IBM.

In November i ordered water pipes from Germany and took 3 weeks

Very odd, ordering small bits and pieces for me M5 rebuild, currently the last exGermany delivery with Leo Hase in Centurion was around 10 days

I was told 6 weeks for a front subframe. So I bought one in the UK and had it in 4 days
