Build Delays

i have a E450 4matic Cab on order for a few months. It was scheduled for production in early January (1st decade???) and keeps getting delayed. Any thoughts on what is going on?

I ordered my e53 coupe at the beginning of November.

It was built on 20/1/19 and due for delivery this week.

I didn’t go for HUD which I have read can cause some delays

That can happen due to numerous things: JIT supply chain, weather, components just not available...
You're just going to have to be patient...

Sorry to hear that. I can imagine it's very disappointing especially when you're excited to get your new car.

I ordered mine in September and picked it up 10 weeks later. Initially I was told that it could take around 3 months, so I was very happy to get it relatively early. Having said that, even those 10 weeks were difficult for me!

Hopefully your order gets sorted, and the new car will be with you soon.

Very frustrating. I ordered the car a few months ago and was told that it would take awhile. When I ordered I was #10 on the list of people at the dealership waiting for a build slot. Finally got one for first week in January and it just keeps getting delayed with no real explanation. I guess the good news is that the bad weather in the northeast should be coming to end when I finally take delivery.

I know, the wait can seem to be excruciating. A few of us members went through what you have just late last year. I have a 2019 E450 CAB, and believe me, it was worth the wait!
