Given up

pmheadwired · 03-15-2016, 03:26 PM

My cars taking so long i have given up all hope

stefan4 · 03-15-2016, 03:28 PM

Chin up lad,

Hanchurch · 03-15-2016, 03:30 PM

When did you order it?

pmheadwired · 03-15-2016, 03:31 PM

Jan 27th it keeps going back instead of forward. Currently wk 16 delivery

I know I am like a broken record but it sucks!

stefan4 · 03-15-2016, 03:33 PM

That is harsh to be fair. I ordered mine on 23rd of Feb (I think) and BMW are currently stating week 15 build with a week 18 delivery. Marshall's did say "that WILL come forward" but I'm not banking on it.

It will be worth it mate. Things will all of a sudden happen like mine I reckon.

You're not the most patient of folks are you?...

KS_340i · 03-15-2016, 03:59 PM

So a 12 week wait from point of order??

I think you need to chill...i waited 6 mths...

subsy · 03-15-2016, 04:06 PM

Yeh to be fair your wait seems a lot less than many on here!

tinytrevor · 03-15-2016, 04:11 PM

Saw another 340i Touring at the detailers in Stirling, MG with coral red interior and M perf aero kit - looked really good!

The long wait will be worth it

Kal101 · 03-15-2016, 04:13 PM

Look on the bright side

There's been a few issues with the 340 engine. They'll all be sorted by the time you get yours.

Result.

Be worth the wait.

There was a thread on here about how a few had had issues with engine bearings requiring rebuild or new engine. Can't remember which.

Not that long ago.

Around 50 South African models affected apparently...

tinytrevor · 03-15-2016, 04:40 PM

Oh I remember, cars with a manual box there were sent to the States?

Well, mine comes from a good old German factory so fingers crossed no issues to be had
