Just the thread I wanted to start.

Mine's an F31 330d M Sport I've ordered on lease. Initial estimate end of April (based on standard '8 weeks') now saying mid June!

I suspect the dealership (whoever they are) are having a bit of a laugh. Given their initial gambit was 8 weeks and it took them 3.5 weeks to tell me it'd be an extra 11 weeks, I'm not impressed.

I've put an ultimatum down that if they can't prioritise me to May, then I'm gonna cancel the order. The way I figure it it'd be about £11.5k for 2 years ownership. I could spend circa 15k on an older car, run it for 2 years and only lose a max of 6k on it, and save the 330 dream for a few years...

Dilemmas! But then I've built it up so much in my head.....
