Long delivery lead times?

How long has anyone had to wait for delivery?

I originally ordered mid-October with delivery in early Dec - it was a condition of the price I negotiated. This was revised to early March, and is now late March. The is for a 218i Sport with which I can only assume the delay might be because I ordered the sunroof, which will have a limited production run for RHD UK demand most probably.

My experience of BMW dealer customer service has been pretty disappointing so far!

I have to say each dealer group varies. Also each group have different stock allocated to them so its really pot luck.

I was fortunate to be able to order an xdrive model in mid oct and get delivered in first week dec. the model was so new it was such a hassle finding an insurance company to insure the car as the model was not on the system.

This dealer must be at the bottom of the pile for getting stock then .

They're saying that BMW have totally underestimated the demand there is for this model

Perhaps I'll cancel the order and just wait for the 2016 X1. I might get it quicker!

I ordered my new AT on 30 March 2015 from a dealer near London and was promised delivery by 30 June (13 weeks). Delivery was early by 2-3 weeks.

After 400 miles, I'm very happy with the performance and quality.

I complained about the delivery time I was given in March 2015 ... 6-7 months !!!!

I made it a condition of my order to have a maximum of 4 months and ordered on 1 April to receive the car before end-July - 4 months.

They contacted the importer and arranged improved delivery for all future orders to their garages in Belgium.

Aandre - I have a question for you, as you have the same car. When you turn on the engine, with nothing/nobody on the rear seats, do you get a seatbelt warning on the display panel for the three back seats that shows red for 30 seconds? Thanks. I posted the question in another thread, but nobody has responded so far. http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1171051

My 216d SE was ordered in early December 2015 and arrived yesterday (4th March 2016)

There was a very long list of options including sunroof

Smile Delivered to Dealer end of February!

Ordered early December I took delivery mid March for the UK 16 plate but it was a straightforward 218i with the safety options.

I placed my order last week but was lucky that the dealer had an order for a demo car that was not locked regarding options, so my car will be produced in the middle of may with delivery late may/early june.

Sorry to hear that not all of you had the same luck.
