Yeah, I’m going off memory from when I received customer orders.
They renamed sensatec too. Don’t understand how you can think it’s okay that a 70k+ BMW doesn’t even have the option for real leather.
i keep all my plates with sticker. proof that’s how many cars i have gotten yet
It was available at the very beginning of MY 2023 but no word yet on when or if it’ll be returning.

UK auto production started collapsing well before the COVID-19 pandemic. this occured at a time when US auto production was largely stable. I’d suspect another consequential event in recent British history might be more to blame for some of the production issues.
Better access to EU (and for now US markets), cheaper labor, cheaper land and utilities. Not much surprise why this is the plant they dedicate more resources to.
TL:DR - blaming chip shortages is an easy way to continue their ongoing gradual reduction in UK operations.

The main reason here is they keep churning out the most popular trucks: Defenders in Slovakia and RRs in the UK.

BMW i4 eDr40 and i4 eDr35 are experiencing M sport shortages, so it’s not an option unless an order was already input about 2 weeks ago.

Reviving this - sorry, but it’s important!
Currently, there is no executive package available on a 2024 BMW X5 40i or a 2024 X6 40i, only premium.

Not as tragic as 24 iX 50e losing air suspension and integral active steering.

It means that if you wanted soft close doors, heated and cooled cupholders, or like my friend, the LED sunroof, you need something that’s already built.

Toyota’s domestic production had been on the rebound after a series of output cuts it blamed on semiconductor shortages. Output was up 29% in January-June, the first such increase in two years. Its Japan output averaged about 13,500 vehicles daily in the first half of the year, Reuters calculations showed. That excludes vehicles from group automakers Daihatsu and Hino.
