I've heared through the grapevine that the delay in parts has been due to the flooding in Germany.
Apparently, this has effected several parts suppliers, and BMW have something like 4,000 parts on back order. There are loads of component parts, but the assembly factory is still underwater.
So it's not down to BMW underestimating the need.
Not really bmws fault I reckon. Something like this can and does happen - remember the fire at triumph in Hinckley?
We've just got to be patient and wait for the parts.

Not good Ian thought they were coming through now. Vines told me they were going to the people who have waited longest first though

That's good to know, I need a tank bag as well. Should be getting bike next Saturday although they haven't confirmed that yet or given me the reg number
Fingers crossed
Dave .... have you not chosen your own reg number ?? That's half the fun of buying NEW !
No they told me you can't do that these days? They said the days of picking from lists of reg numbers had gone. They Said they could ring at the point of registration a d give me the choice of a couple of numbers if they could get hold of me!
Yes, they told me the same!

Talked to my dealer when I ordered the bike, and he had assured me luggage was not an issue, as was stated earlier. the dealer had anticipated that about every 9 out of ten bikes would require luggage so they made a guesstimate of how many bikes bmw uk were gonna' give them this year, ordered in x sets of luggage and voila! new bike arrives tomorrow and I can have luggage if I so require, hey who said the irish were stupid!
I have excellent service from Ryan so far, in fact it could not have been better. I'm just hoping that he can soon come up with some panniers for my bike.
I am delighted to report that my panniers have arrived and both are now fitted with no problems. I would like to formally record my appreciation for the efforts by everyone at Pidcock’s to make them available for me in time for a long weekend away which is planned for next weekend.
However, I have been instructed by a member of staff at my local BMW dealer that I am to delete my posts [which were] numbered 34, 40, 68 and 69 on this thread. Unfortunately, the timeframe in which I can edit or delete my own posts has passed and I have therefore sent a message to the Moderator of this section to ask if they would do so on my behalf - which has now been done, thanks.

That's good news Ian
There must be hope for me getting mine for my holiday in September then
Ryan at Pidcocks rang me today to tell me that my panniers have arrived, I still cannot fault his service, which has been superb all of the way through the buying of my first BMW process!
Well done!
I'm very happy!

I'm pleased to hear that Pidcock's have made 2 GS customers happy today.

What's the score with dealers telling members to delete posts on here??
