The wait is killing me...

Ordered my EB M235i on October 22, 2014. Was told my production date was set for 1st week of December. Called in 1st week of December, they told me it was pushed to 3rd week of December. Called yesterday they told me it's now been pushed to 3rd week of January 2015.

Anyone have an idea roughly how long the production time is for this vehicle and from the end of production date to arriving at the dealer is how long? Dealer is located in Toronto, Ontario by the way.

I'm getting so anxious! Although I'm secretly hoping it's delayed enough so it misses the winter season.

P.S. My trade-in (current car, Nissan Sentra 2009) just got into 2 accidents in the last 2 weeks. One was a hit-and-run. Good times....

Welcome to the jungle.......that is about how it played out for me. Order 4/20, pick-up at PCD 8/21. About 2 weeks of that was the additional wait for the PCD slot

Ordered mine on 10/12 and it's due into the port in CA on 12/28. I'm sure I won't get it until sometime in the first week of January. That would put it at 12+ weeks. The good news is that I turned in my leased MINI on 12/8 and the dealer gave me a 328i to drive until my car arrives. It's giving me a chance to get used to the electronic gear selector and figure out the iDrive and it saved me one month's cay payment. Still anxious to get it though.

Maybe Canada is getting the shaft on production.

This is really scary. I ordered today and I'm driving a rental car now and I'm budgeting on not more than 12 weeks. If it is 4 months or more, I'm going to be really angry.

I ordered 4 weeks ago, negotiated a deal with a trade-in, but get to keep driving my car until the new one is delivered (a 4-month wait, I was told from the start). I thought that's how everyone did factory orders with a trade-in.

Hopefully the 4-month wait won't be delayed. The end of winter timing is perfect but I'm sure I'll get more than annoyed if the weather turns nice and I'm still waiting.

Based on your dates in your thread, it basically took 4 weeks and 16 days (so about 1.5 months) from when production started until it arrived at dealer.

If I apply the same timeline to mine with production starting in 3rd week Jan., that would mean I would get it to the dealer roughly in 1st week of March.

I haven't tried, but doubt they'll do anything. Maybe worth a shot....

No, my car is still on the ship. I'm updating it through out the process. If you look at the at the post again you'll see that the timeline in black is what I was assuming back in October. The red is what has actually happened or is happening. So far it looks look the actual timeline is a week ahead of my original assumption.

Ordered in Sept and it is waiting to be picked up by the truck to the dealer now. The wait will be worth it.
