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! Last edited by gosco; 01-20-2015 at 04:01 PM.. |

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! Last edited by gosco; 01-22-2015 at 07:20 AM.. |

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 |

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.
