Order Sitting at 1100 for 5 weeks
Hi Guys,
I?m looking for your opinion. My order went into the BMW system on 21st August. It?s been 5 weeks since I got an order number but it?s sitting at 1100. Just want to know whether that?s normal for G30? I?ve seen all my previous car orders moving through quicker. Dealer is saying that they?ve done all they can. Delivery is currently set for second week of December Needless to say, this is driving me insane Here?s my spec. 530d M Sport 337 M Sports Package ZOJ Technology pack ZGM Comfort package 223 EDC 4ML Piano Black 5AC High-beam Assistant 5AT Driving Assistant Plus 5DV Remote Control Parking 6AP Remote Services 6CP Apple Car Play |

wow that is quite a wait.
I can only assume the dealer didnt have any other earlier slots allocated to them so youve gone to the back of the queue. with any luck that may well change once it goes to 1200 . |

Thanks AP. I?ve asked the dealer to confirm that they don?t have any slots that they can fit this in. They?ve been dodging the question. I just wonder whether they don?t care much as I won?t become a regular customer given the distance.

I just e-mailed again. Will follow up in the morning with a call. Let?s see how far I can push them.
Update: So I managed to get hold of them on the phone. Apparently the dealership has no slots for 530d and the UK allocations are all full. They’ve put a pull forward request but don’t think it’ll happen given the situation with allocations for UK. According to them, delivery time for any new 530d is February next year. BMW must have underestimated demand for G30. |

So the order status moved to 5055 with delivery in w/c 20th Nov. Then it moved back again to w/c 27th Nov
