I am not saying I would do it, I would like to see it first. You can tax a new car for 1 month + 1 week to for extra time to get you to month's end.

A feel for ya brah. I'm in the same boat, all at sea with a bunch of in-the-dark BMW people who have no idea where my car is other than "not here"

Just got an email:
'Vehicles are coming through from BMW into the dealership and are taking slightly longer to process than anticipated due to the sheer volume. I hope this puts your mind at rest. Please don't worry. I hope you have an enjoyable weekend'.

I've been told mine will arrive before the end of the year which I am hesitant about. I ordered last Thursday (08/11/2012) as my BMW dealership (Park Lane London) said factory lead time was 6-8 weeks and in order to get the 3.9% apr deal they have on diesel cars at the moment it needs to be registered before the 31st of December. Thought it was a sales tactic at first but after checking the BMW website and reading the T&C's, it is true.
Trying to not get my hopes up but they are assuring me it will be here.

I was told back in September that I couldn't change my order because it would have fallen into a 2013 reg date. Good luck with getting a November order this year

It's possible if your dealer had reserved slots I guess...

Since it's out of everyone's control but BMW (i.e. not BMW FS, not the customer and not the dealer), and any delay over the normal/estimated time would be down to BMW alone, perhaps there would be some movement to contact BMW HQ to see if they'd honour a finance agreement that was previously made, that now wasn't being honoured because of an unforeseen delay? Worth a try, at least! Seems daft to do it any other way, though I accept if it's normal practice.

Oddly I'm not as excited now as I was compared to when I ordered my last car purely because I think I'm going to be let down.

I was told if my car came after the finance deal ends then they can't process it; plus it would of resulted in me losing some of the discount (that dealer contribution has to come from somewhere). In the end we just went for a P/X cash deal.

Guys, don't forget many of us waiting for cars now, ordered when production of the F30 wasn't at full speed. Cars sales are down something like 10% overall, so is possible the factory can cope with a shorter lead time.
However, even if they can't deliver by end December: a.) The 3.9% apr deal may well be extended (already has been from 3/4 quarter) b.) Dealer might be able to swing the deal to compensate for a higher apr if this happens. Either way you'll still highly likely get your cars for the amount agreed upon. |

I hope so, apparently I've "drilled them right down" on the deal they've given me, inc. them paying off the settlement on my part-ex; but even so, after all the work they've done for the deal, I doubt they'll want to lose a £45k car over a few percent (if it comes to that)!

If you guys get stuck, I know Elms of Bedford will treat you well They gave it to me in writing that they would honour the 3.9% APR even if car was delivered after the closing date
