But I'm not so sure. I ordered my X3 on April 14 and it will arrive at the dealership on May 9th - 26 days! This is impressive, and I'm happy, but it argues against overwhelming demand. And that's understandable because it's still early in the US X3 rollout. You don't see them on the road yet. I haven't seen even one and I've been looking. Once people start seeing this car around town THAT's when the demand will pop. I don't think we are there yet. What do you think?
I think you were lucky and your dealer had a production slot/allotment available for your car. Not all dealers do now, so some will wait much longer.
