Getting tense and thinking about a Q3 it can be here at end of September. Love the x3 but also test drove the q3 and it was pretty good as well. One more delay and I might. The dealer won't care because I am sure he could sell my speck to someone else.

Yes, I suspect you are been taken for a ride. At the time you placed your order, your dealer should have been up front with you about what delivery slots he (ie the dealer) had open for a August delivery. I suspect his quota was probably already filled and just simply put in the next bunch of orders - hence the shift to September delivery. But now that he is talking October, thats a bit rich. Talk to him and demand an explanation. It may be due to the slowdown in production over the US summer months (from another thread I saw the factory was shutdown for a week in July). The fact that I ordered our 30d mid/late May and its (apparently) arriving in the country this week for a late August delivery indicates something is amiss.
And I'm assuming the alternative "Q3" you are referring to is in fact the Q5. Don't waste your time with the Q5 2.0TDI.
