UK Orders

Chudwill · 08-21-2011, 01:41 PM

My first post sorry if its in the wrong place. Been told my spec has now been locked down and i'm awaiting Vin and production number. So whats the best PCP around to pay as BMW Birmingham are wanting £10k over the price of the car if you buy it at the end. Has anyone found a good PCP deal? How long does it take to reach once it goes into production. Only just started driving a BMW after 4 Audi A4's. RIchard

Chudwill · 08-21-2011, 03:16 PM

or

Chudwill · 08-22-2011, 02:04 PM

Can I ask when you ordered your x3 in February might give me an idea of when mine will go into production as well. As mine ordered in same month.

Thursday 10th Feb 2011 @ 13:40 to be precise....

Dealer should be able to give you an ETA on build week - This week is build week 34 - Good luck.

Good news and good to hear that all is going to timetable.

Chudwill · 08-22-2011, 05:11 PM

Mine was 23rd Feb so hopefully soon. Managed to get a good quote for finance as well from independent broker. This waiting game is frustrating but also very expensive. Hope you get your car soon.

Max1Factor · 08-23-2011, 08:59 AM

Just confirmed - In build with delivery last week September.

No more hypothesising over the config or considering posponing for an N20 (215hp) - it's done now.

As a guide it looks like wait time for Feb 20d orders is around 31 weeks.

I say again

cooldude00 · 08-23-2011, 11:57 AM

it looks like all the jan/feb orders are being built right about now.. mine's due in the UK by wk 39...

Chudwill · 08-24-2011, 01:44 PM

Yippee, Deal emailed me today to say I have VIN number and car in production. How do we track the cars to the UK. Tried to track on USA web site but it doesn't work?

We cant track the build in the UK, you may be able to track it once on the boat via https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage

Enter the VIN in the Cargo ID field

Chudwill · 08-24-2011, 03:48 PM

Great will keep entering my details and hopefully be able to track the ship once it's departed port.

and I should hopefully get the keys a couple of weeks later, once the lease company and deealer do the necessary with it.

The car was ordered in March and I was originally quoted mid-December so it does like UK order times are moving in the right direction!

Great news, the lease compnay has been in touch and the car is here and ready for delivery - it's no wcoming Friday, Septemeber 2nd

How many sleeps is that??

Warning. Tracking my X3 across the ocean became very addictive to the point where I got worried if the ship hadn't reported in in the last 24 hours!

clivem2 · 08-25-2011, 06:26 AM

My X3 was ordered in April, I've just been informed that I can pick it up a month early on Sept 9th. It had already been pulled forward from Jan 2012 to Oct 2011.

I'll be driving it home 200 miles so I expect I'll be washing it on the 10th! Snow Foam at the ready.....the joys of a black car. :-)

Four governors declared states of emergency Thursday as Hurricane Irene threatened to wreak havoc along the United States' Eastern Seaboard.

I know exactly what you mean, but after waiting for 6 months its like father Christmas coming for the kids. Keep entering my VIN number hoping it says its on a ship. Think I'll try again.

VikingOne · 08-26-2011, 09:16 AM

Dealer just called to say car now due a week early (VIN emailing to me shortly), should be ready for collection last week of Sept. That is assuming the hurricane doesn't tip the boat over.

Need to update my sig..... although that might tempt fate.

tank531 · 08-26-2011, 09:36 AM

Mine too is close and hopefully same date as VikingOne. I agree all we now is the hurricane, we survived the Japan quake effect though.
