Brunswick operations are not weather impacted. Germany is not weather impacted. The oil pump supplier in Europe is also not weather impacted. An oil pump is a small enough part that it can be airmailed.

There absolutely is a connection in the current delay of your car being delivered. Everything is managed out of Woodcliff Lake by BMW NA. They were out of power for a while and many of their employees are dealing with personal hardships so they may be short-handed on staff. That will slow the process of sourcing and managing the distribution of oil pumps to the VPCs. The VPCs have zero control over this, they just wait for them to show up. They cannot even decide which car to install them on - BMW NA has to assign a VIN to each replacement part set.

For the VPCs, since Newark was shut down BMW NA is diverting cars to the other east coast VPCs. Members of the board can attest to that. I saw that a member from NY had his car diverted to Baltimore. There is a ripple effect across all of the east coast VPCs which will slow the processing of new in-bound cars given the larger scale of the Newark VPC and the smaller scale of Baltimore and Brunswick. Plus, that already strained staff at BMW NA has to manage this whole relocation while at the same time continuing to manage the replacement pump process.

I am using my brain, and thankfully my heart is working as well. You're the one who needs to use a little more of both.

BTW, very classy response.
