Sorry to hear about the mishap and delay.

Rumor goes that BMW Germany experienced a major IT issue earlier this Summer, complicating BMW to retrieve car parts. Except if mistaken water infiltration or a flood destroyed servers, or something alike, which were vital for the car parts inventory (stock picking). Compare to some extent with erasing the boot sector of a hard disk: all the info is still on the hard disk, but the guide to retrieve the info in the huge inventory is no longer available. Or another one: imagine that at Ikea you got to sort out yourself without location code where goods are exactly stored on the shelves. This (also) might have contributed to delays for getting car parts.
