I don't see how even a 12 week delay on a part should affect the delivery date on a car that doesn't usually even start production until about 6 months after the order is placed. All of the options are known at the point the order is placed. Do they wait until the car starts production and then say "right, now what parts do we need for this one? Damn, the powered bootlid has got a 10 week wait. Doh! Why didn't we order it 6 months ago?".
Perhaps 8-12 week delays are now out of BMW's hands because of how they decided to source their components (badly) but to add 8-12 weeks to timelines that are already 10 months plus is just taking the piss IMO
