Should be interesting to see what dealers do knowing production is off...do they try and move the cars on hand or play hardball with the prices knowing competition is scarce on stock?

Here one who is affected. Ordered 320 with m-sport steering wheel on February. I got notified in the end of march that we have change it to normal wheel.

Still no confirmed production date. If I could most likely would cancel the whole car as G20 is approaching fast..

G20's should start production in Spring or Summer of 2018 I think.

If they changed your order on you I would think you could cancel.
