I think most people on this (or any other forum) are probably custom ordering cars- as we are more of the "fanatics" about BMW and cars in general. But, if a car in dealer stock had met my specs, I would've purchased it. However, I wanted a loaded 28i - rare. Easier to get a loaded 35i- but then you're in X5 and 5 series territory.

Also, the card are built here, and from what I have been reading here- US customers (depending on location) are seeing an average turn around time of 21 days.

Ordered the car on 5/7- due to be completed tomorrow 5/15. Couple days at VPC, then trucked to Connecticut from North Carolina. We hope to see it by next Saturday 5/26.

Remember UK X3 cars are being shipped (opposite of cars coming from Germany). If we order a German built car like a 535, we must wait along with the rest of the world for delivery as it must be shipped. But I'm sure Europe sees a 5 series custom order much quicker than 6-8 weeks.
