Given that we Australians account for only 1-2% production BMWs we are at their mercy and can't dictate the production schedule unlike the heavy weights like USA, UK, South Africa, and the new market China.

When you order a BMW Individual sometime it can take up to a year for an Australian spec car to be built. It all revolve around production slots.

Having said that, this is a series production and should follow suite as per the allocations. It all depends on how soon the dealer puts in the order.

It's your money and it's your car. You're entitled to put pressure on the dealer to get the car as soon as possible. For guys in Melbourne and Sydney where you have multiple dealerships, if one can't deliver threaten to take your business elsewhere. Unfortunately we in Perth have only one dealership, and the same guy Bob Peters is opening a second one in Wangara in July.
