I have a 2015 BMW 7 Series. My garage has diagnosed a faulty column control module and there are no stocks in the UK or Germany. I've been advised that it may be several months until one becomes available. The unit controls indicators and wipers so the wipers are permanently on and the indicators don't work — rendering the vehicle unusable. I've complained to BMW UK, which state that it's pandemic related and I assume refers to the worldwide chip shortage. It seems crazy to me that there are no stocks kept by the manufacturer and that a car with a list price of £83,000 is effectively unusable for the foreseeable future. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. My inclination is to get rid of it as soon as it's eventually repaired, particularly if BMW parts are so scarce.
