Only had a text this am to ask me to put insurance (BMW 7 day) in case it arrived! but still no date. Rang dealer to say not very impressed at lack of communication especially as they are charging me £700 for this 'service'.
Salesman rang logistics company and said it is on a transporter and should arrive tomorrow but that if it arrives after 3pm tomorrow they will not be able to PDI it and delivery will be Monday.(Presume that workshop is not open Saturday ).

Are other people having similar problems or is this the dealer ?

I can understand that they don't have much control or information whilst in production and on board ship but would have expected that when in the UK there should be a better communication chain between Importers(BMW UK), dealer and customer.
Mine knew what date it would arrive with them from Thorne about 3 days beforehand, and then needed 3 days to prep the car for delivery but this included a weekend. I think thats OK...
