BMW production disrupted.
I think the i4 is made in Munich. BMWBLOG: Current Geopolitical Situation Wreaks Havoc On BMW Production In Europe. https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/03/02/b...kraine-crisis/

Remember the good old days, when all we worried about was a shortage of power seats or wireless phone chargers?
But look on the bright side: This will give Bremerhaven a chance to work down their queue of cars waiting for boats. |

Yup. Not just BMW… VWAG has the same problem. Just wait until China decides to take Taiwan…. Keep the Ukrainians in your thoughts and prayers.[/QUOTE] Let's hope that China doesn't do that. Taiwan has no value to China in ruins. Taiwan has serious weapons.

It feels like it's up in the air at this point.
the rep I spoke to yesterday at the i4/iX reveal told me that currently BMW is just trying to fulfil pre-orders, and that "regular" production non-pre-ordered orders would start June (2023 model year).

Was told electric cars are more affected by the war in Ukraine than others, must be whatever parts come from the country. I have a GTD Golf on order for one of my managers and we were told VW are halting production for two weeks.

It could be long before BMW find another supplier or a supplier with capacity ... i don't believe that industrial production in ukraine will restart soon. it is an almost permanent disruption considering the destruction and the chaos that reigns in this country.

It was convenient to have the harnesses made in Ukraine. The finished harnesses will just need to be shipped farther.
