MPG depends on where you are driving really, if it's town work then will be low. That sounds low to me as I have the luxury 328i touring on loan from brand new and it's never shown less than 35 MPG from day one, I just did the Norfolk to canary wharf 37 MPG @ 5.30PM, returned 6.30PM leaving through heavy traffic out to and on the M11 @ 75/80MPH all the way home= 36MPG took less than 2 hours. this has been the same since the first few miles were I could get 40MPG grannying it in ECO-Pro.

Still no sign of my 330D MS touring To be fair to BMW they consider me a very good customer as I usually buy new BMW's every year. It pays them to look after me I suppose.

So could not access the system, my response was "has the car been damaged and if so I will be having the paint depth checked", they said no so I wait. I bought a new Lexus some years ago and a friend found ( in the Car paint shop business ) 5 panels had been re-sprayed, I rejected the car after only one day and it took 6 months too and fro before Lexus rolled over. Apparently Lexus have their own paint shop On the docks for just this purpose, anyway NO more Lexus for me.

One of our F30s was supposed to be built BW44. We are now entering BW46 and the other one is for BW48. Hope against hope, but maybe the BW44 car became BW45 and I got the new Nav. I wish they would keep one informed. So much easier if we could track the production, shipping and delivery processes ourselves.

Just spoke to BMW, they say "as of January this year" all unsold cars end up at thorne, but cars south of the country come to dealerships direct from Southampton.

Seems strange logic... either they need to go to Thorne or they don't.

Car BW44, shipped Week 45 and in Southampton, to Dealer Week 46, delivered to customer Week 47. That's me this year and next year. OR, Car BW44, shipped Week 45 and in Southampton, to Thorn Week 46, to Dealer Week 47, possibly available for delivery to customer from Week 48. For the orphans. Nice! Most efficient!

Company policy change as of January 2012, could be the slow delivery times?.

To be fair, having the paint building doesn't mean it's used I guess. Might be an old thing.
Was just looking, not sure why but I ended up reading about Thorne for my M3 delivery... All I can find is this now: http://pad.doncaster.gov.uk/AnitePub...s/00522694.pdf "New vehicles manufactured in Germany were imported through the port of Immingham and delivered to the Vehicle distribution Centre at Thorne for onward distribution to dealers across the country. However, since 2007 BMW commenced to establish direct delivery from the port of entry to the dealer which is a more efficient operation and reduces movements and costs. Some of the key activities now include pre-delivery inspection, valet and distribution for BMW’s sole UK showroom at Park Lane, London. The site is currently experiencing capacity issues particularly in respect of the body shop area which has increased as BMW has been appointed as an official partner of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to provide 3200 vehicles to support the initiative for use by officials, guests and competing teams." So seems they are gearing for port to dealer. Which makes sense to me! I ended up having to have paint on my M3 less than 1 week after it arrived (they glued the carbon fibre performance spoiler on wrong and it had to be removed before replacing). I was very concerned and discussed rejecting the car with the dealer - their reply "you'd be surprised how many new cars have paint work done to them on arrival". So who knows! Mat
