The cancellation sounds more to me to be a 2012 finance issue than a car build slot issue.

Reading between the lines, the lease company can only get that finance deal on cars delivered this year. I imagine this was coupled with a BMW numbers for 2012 scheme too. As it looks like the timing slipped into next year it was a no deal situation on two counts, which would up the price massively.

(Lease companies get discount levels based on numbers sold per year, if come end of August numbers are low they discount heavily to make the projected level. Tricky thing for them is they have to predict in January what level of discount they will achieve in the forthcoming year, and set their prices based on that)

There is no way you would have to wait until March to get a new order 330D.The March date was only given as a smoke screen, because the OP would have probably waited a few more weeks.

IMO of course.
