Any news on when the plant is due to reopen?
Just heard from the dealer that my GLE 450 now has a build date of June 28 and that it will be a 2020 build. He didn’t seem over confident that the car will actually be built by that date either. The car was due to be built in February, but no luck yet.

I got fed up and ordered a X7 end of February. It just got built last week and is now on a train heading for CA. Should have it in a week or two. Could track it's status on bmwusa site and their 800# in near real time.
My GLS450 is still in B4 status and no one can tell me why.

They have from my impression just 1 shift working not all 3. They have shifts rotating them working 1 week then 2 weeks off then back for a week and so on. So basically running 1/3 capacity.
this is to allow time for any symptoms to show up before they are back again.
