Think yourself lucky, it's normally around 10 weeks. Mine took 16 weeks due to the brake shortage

At least your dealers phoned! Ordered mine mid Feb and haven't heard anything - although I'm sure the parting words were - "I'll be in touch with regular updates!"

When did you place your order?

Give them a prod, pop down for a chat, get your face known, works wonders with discounts, free goodies like screen wash etc.

Cheers for that. I ordered on Valentine's Day. Missus had booked a little treat for herself in the way of a visit to the hair dressers - so I did likewise, but at BMW - and at considerably more expense!

Am going to give them a ring this afternoon to see where things are at, but reading other posts on here I suspect it'll be a week or so before mine goes into production.

I ordered an F10 the week before xmas and it's been stuck at the port of exit for the last 3 weeks. My F33 took 11 weeks though.

Changing already? Which F10 have you ordered Tr0y? What's making you change?

Not an M5 like Paul_335i

Yes this - go down for any reason and try to get a look at details on system.

I did this and was able to see my production week was 9th March and estimated delivery was 25th March to dealers.

Mine was ordered on 19th January so if production/delivery dates accurate then took 7 weeks from order to build and 10 weeks (still debating if this will be accurate) from order to delivery.

PaulT_M5 · 03-04-2015, 03:01 PM

James's dates are similar to mine for my F10.

I re-ordered at the end of the 1st week of January with different dealer after cancelling order with first dealer due to them messing me around.

Build is starting next week and it's due at dealer around 2 weeks later with delivery to me on 31st.

3 weeks and 6 days to go... not that I'm counting

It's not for me, it's for the fleet, but it's only a 520d saloon. Got a decent spec though.

Beancounter_74 · 03-05-2015, 11:39 AM

I got an email from my dealer today, whahoo, it went into production this morning.

I think I took one of the dealers amendable build slots (was probably scheduled for a demo car or the showroom) as I only confirmed the deal around 16th Feb.

Dealer was brilliant and sent me a screen shot of the progress page in their system

The waits killing me though

msportmatt · 03-05-2015, 01:15 PM

I ordered on the 6th Feb (F31 330d), dealer found the specification I wanted on a car that already had a production slot. Original date for delivery to the dealer was quoted as this week...

The car has been manufactured and has been "at port of exit" since 21st Feb...and the date first slipped to 13/03, found out yesterday that apparently there is a two week backlog in germany due to the number of cars being ordered of the UK. My car should be on a boat this week, and if so will be delivered on 19/03...However may slip by another week if doesn't get on a boat by tomorrow...fingers crossed.

I know it is a relatively short wait for a new car...however the date disappearing each time I get close is killing me!

Hope some of you are having better luck!
