M240i xDrive Delivery Time

Currently driving a MY 2014 535i xDrive under an Owners Choice plan that comes to end of term February 27, 2017. Looking to "downsize" to the M240. Going to a Chicago, IL area BMW dealer today to see if we can work out an acceptable deal on a 36 month lease, 12K miles. Configuration is M240i xDrive, Alpine White with Cold Weather Pkg., Leather, Driver Asst. Pkg., Navigation system and Harman Kardon Surround Sound. There seems to be very limited production on this car, and my question is this. Is it reasonable to expect an 8 week delivery on this car if I place an order today?

It all depends if the dealer already has allocation that hasn't been spoken for, and sufficiently prior to production start (a couple weeks I think) that you can configure. When I ordered mine at the end of Sept, they had 3 on allocation, but only 2 were configurable (Oct production start). I grabbed one slated for Oct; it went into production 2nd or 3rd week in Oct, left Bremehaven Nov 9, reached Port Hueneme (San Diego) Dec 3, and is now at the dealer waiting for me to pick up next week.

The transport time depends on route of the ship you end up on, the route it takes, and which port serves your region. It ranges from 4-6 weeks from end of production to delivery. Production time is 1-2 weeks I think.

I also read another poster who order early Aug, and only picked up this or last week.

Thanks for the input. Sounds like it's possible.

Depends on a lot of factors. I got my dad's wagon in 6 weeks but My dealer had a car with one day left to make changes so I caught it literally at the perfect moment. Then my VIP advisor made sure it was rushed through port both there and here, and on the first available carrier out of NJ. Being in PA helped too.

I ordered mine at the start of the month, it's already made and should be here by the end of Jan according to the dealer.

I was lucky enough to get in on an allocation they had so it was relatively 'fast' but it's painful waiting so long compared to just driving one off the lot!

Ordered M240i xdrive F22 on Dec 20th, got VIN and production number today. So far things are on-track, with most time until delivery expected in shipment to west coast NA.
