Confirmed this with my dealer. He confirms that BMW has issued a bulletin that some builds will be delayed if 205 (auto) specified. Don't know what the criteria will be other than the 205 option. Mine is due to be built week 38 and is not showing a delay so far. (Please insert praying smiley here!)
