Ordered X3 2.8 on 11/11 have ?
Very strange I ordered a 2012 2.8 X3 on 11/11 and it now shows a build week of 50? When we first placed the order it was sloted for week 49. I live in Texas so delivery should be quick. My concerns: With the holidays around the corner could this get pushed into Jan? Dose anyone know if & when the plant closes for the holidays? Do the vendors that supply BMW close during the holidays? Two other issues: The BMW 1K Loyality rebate ends on 1/4/2012 + BMW has a price increase going into affect in Jan 2012. Thoughts? This is my 14th BMW & my 1st time i have ordered a car.

Talk to your dealer and see when BMW NA will invoice the dealer. usually this will happen at the end of production. If so, they should be able register the vehicle (RDR) and qualify you for the credit.
If not, have your dealer talk to their BMW rep to provide an extension.

I think when the rest of the world get their expected delivery dates when they order they assume the dates are in American format. Oh, so that's 8/2/2012 for delivery? Great, 2 months to wait. No sir, that's the 2nd of AUGUST 2012. Noooooo!

Mine took about a week (5 working days). Then it spent about another 2 days before it was shipped out. The video showed up under the digital library in the myBMW site. I also got an email from BMW when the video was uploaded there. Interesting note that the final portion of the video where the car is started and driven away shows that it is hour 40.

I was very happy to see my build video also. I am hoping to see it before Xmas but if it doesn't arrive in CA until the 20th, I doubt I will see it until after. Last edited by litt; 12-09-2011 at 02:49 PM.. |

Thanks post pictures of you X3 once received.
I purchased the 2012 X3 for my wife. We traded in her 2009 BMW 3. We needed an SUV in the family her back seats did not go down. In late June I purchased a loaded 2011 ZCP M3, its my DD. I sold my 2011 Audi S4 that I only kept for 3 months (long Story) I miss the 06 M5 I sold in late March. We drove a Q5 as a loaner for 3 weeks while my new S4 was in the shop. She enjoyed the Q5 but the dealer would not go lower than 1k off MSRP. We move cars every two years so I need a car that holds its value and I can get a below or slightly above invoice. In the end she decided on the X3 it was the better suv Last edited by FASTTOYS; 12-10-2011 at 12:17 AM.. |
