Lag time from placing order to confirmed BW? 2. The actual time your car was in Production? 3. The time taken to ship your car from Germany to the UK? 4.

Ordered mine early, took about 14-15 weeks to arrive. Thought now that production had been ramped up they were coming thru quicker, but these M Sport's seem to be taking a while?

1. Ordered Aug 19th so week 34, BW confirmed one week later to be W45 ie 11 weeks post order (mainly due to specifying must have new pro nav which is w45 build in saloon and BMW slow to tool factory for RHD xdrive) 2. Went into build 5.11.12 (code 5055), departed plant on 8.11.12 (code 9000) so build time three days. This thread from f10 forum helps decipher BMW build codes http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=432269 3. TBC - Left port on 12.11.12 estimate around 1w 4. TBC - I am told once it lands at Southampton dealer can register it in my name and ought to be at dealership max 1 week and can be turned around in 48 hours. I know they are keen to see the back of me before the end of the month, in a nice way I hope! |

Although it's been a while now, from what I remember this is how things were for me:
I ordered on 24/5 and had an estimated BW of week 33. This was quite quick to come through, certainly within a couple of weeks. This was confirmed as status 5055 on 25/7 Car went into the paintshop on 10/8 and was released to carrier on 13/8 The car then arrived in the UK on 20/8 and was 9650 awaiting despatch to dealer on 21/8. Quote:
In total it was exactly 100 days from ordering to collection but then I think most of this was due to the M Sport not being released until the July anyway. Took a while but the wait was worth it

I am on the verge of giving up and cancelling both my orders. This initial dealership experience is not very encouraging, to say the least. They seem to be 'at sea' and hopelessley hopeless. I must admit I am a bit fedup.

I messed around giving my sales guy a chance, not wanting to get him into trouble, letting him have the chance to sort etc.etc... I emailed my DP at 10pm a few days after Xmas asking him to ring me. He emailed me back and said "is now ok?". So I ended up speaking to the DP of the UK's most profitable BMW dealership 10pm odd whilst everyone in the country is on holiday. I was made to feel very special ever since. He was waiting outside for me when I went to the dealership, I was put into the most expensive car they had on site. etc. etc. I guarantee things will start moving, answers will start coming once you do.

Once you've filled in the form BMW will contact you with a name and pass word (which you can change) just enter it and edit all the details you want.
