Effectively, I bought individual too and didn't get the option to specify which bits were which colour either, so I don't think you missed out at all. If you look at the BMW Individual Apple App, you will see the possibilities, but I don't know what market that is for, certainly not the Oz one! Even down to your name signed on the headrests, from memory! So, maybe it's only possible in Germany, who knows, but don't cut yourself up about it

Comforting words, thanks.
As RJB says this level of detail wasn't available to pick 'n' choose from so no harm done. I can always get a gaitor made up to match... how sad would that be! Simon, I'll have a look at that app - how can that be more advanced & detailed than the main configurator website - seems odd. Maybe it's only if you go Individual on a 5, 6 or 7 series you get to choose what Daisy the cow's last meal was. But I will be picking up this point when I collect to ascertain the truth behind the situation. Maybe one for my salesman's boss in the back office.

Spoke to the dealer today, somehow my delivery date has been pushed back until January 2nd!! Not happy at all. I was pretty much promised the car for this year. He keeps assuring me that it's likely to move forward as that's just a holding date so should change when it's being built etc. Does anybody know if this is usually the case? Can't get my head around how people ordering the same model after me are getting their order so much earlier.

It's also strange that everyone else has a VIN to track their car with but my dealer said mine hasn't even been allocated a VIN number yet. Can someone clear this up for me?

As far as I remember, the VIN will be assigned 1-2 weeks before the production starts. My order was locked this week so hopefully I'll get my VIN soon. With a bit of luck I'm within 6 weeks of delivery. It has been a very long wait!!

I hate the wait but I'm used to it now. Of course, now I'm trying to work out what accessories I need or if I can persuade the wife that the 20" wheels are justifiable instead. Still, takes my mind off waiting even if it will end up costing a fortune

Another quick question related to delivery dates. When the dealer told me estimated delivery date was 2nd January, does that mean the day I collect it? Or just the date that it arrives at the dealer to be prepped up?

I'd take it with a pinch of salt either way. The only thing you can be sure of is that you can be sure of nothing. Throw in Christmas and the New Year and it may slow things down even more. The wait and lack of information is a killer ain't it

I've also bought the 20" wheels and M Performance kit since ordering. Now it's just deciding how I want the different parts of the kit painting. That seems to be my main focus of how I pass the time now. I've still got 5 weeks to go though! Help!

It's the words jump forward that don't help as I was told the same. Ordered my GT 15th Sept. Told 24th Dec but it will usually jump forward. In my mind jump forward meant a month. Here we are 15th Nov and no VIN yet although apparently it is moving forward in production.
Had I not been told jump forward I would have settled on Christmas and got on with it. Not helped by friend ordering his f31 30th Sept and it's ready now. |

yes I am assuming locked down for changes is the change they are talking about on mine.
Oh well I'll leave it now and wait until Chrstmas, just a shame as m current company car goes back next week so I will be carless for a month. |
