Greetings from Vancouver.

I have placed my X3 order yesterday and the sales will get back to me tomorrow/next Monday.

I am totally excited now. How long did you have to wait before the car is delivered?

[ZipSpeed]

Ordered on the last week of April. Expecting delivery mid-June.

[Spitfire]

7 weeks.

[mtlcruisin]

ordered in mtl on Jan 28, recieved the car today. My dealer said though there's now a 4 month wait here. Weird how different cities have different delivery dates though.

[75bullish]

OMG I hope it won't take 4 months to deliver mine! I won't be able to enjoy it in the summer then.

Ordered mid march delivery late may. No set date yet

Your problem is going to be whether or not the dealer has any production slots left. If he does not, you could be looking at a substantial wait ie. could be easy 2-3 months. Ask your dealer if he has prod. slots available now; and if not, when will he get them? This vehicle is in high global demand, so you may just have to wait. Tough - but that's the deal.

I ordered Mar 21 and expect it here later next week, BUT my dealer had a prod slot in April he used for mine.

I've order mine on March 19 and got it on May 2.....

[smoothmoka]

ordered mine March 21..still waiting till the end of may!

[X3forMe]

2 months. Ordered in February and took delivery in April.

So each dealer is assigned a certain amount of production slots? I was thinking all the orders will be placed in a queue (no matter from which dealer) and they will be processed in order.

It took about 12 weeks, but I have insisted on waiting for April production and to get the ZOX BMW Apps option for the iPhone 4 integration. It could of been much faster otherwise. However, I did not mind waiting. I used that time learning more about the car, insurances and having enough time to change the options if needed. Thinking of the name... There is something sweet and suspenseful in waiting. It getting ready for me, me getting ready for it.

Ordered on april 18th and supposed to be in production this week for mid june delivery.

speaking of insurance, i was shocked when the broker told me the price :
800$/y for 2million responsability, 500$ deductible, and other things i dont remember.

i thought it would be much higher, but she told me the X3 is not in the top 10 list of stolen cars.

And X3's insurance is cheaper than Q5.....

a bit OT: i test drove the Q5 last fall and was pretty sold on it, but thought it's wasnt very fast. So i hold on until the X3 was launched in MOntreal auto show and finally test drove it in april. Was so please with the accelation and general handling. So i'm not even looking at the Q5 when seing it on the road and is now a dull car to drive for me.

I was looking at the X3 and Q5 but once I've test driven the X3, i loved it and I didn't bother going to the Audi dealership. Q5 looks a little too clumsy to me. hee hee

I totally feel the same way. Was fairly impressed with the Q5 at the time but keep in mind that I'm coming from a 2006 Subaru Forester XT so it was a pretty big upgrade when it came to ride quality.

Then I test drove the X3 a month later and haven't looked back!

Same here, quoted 650$ and no need for a boomerang!!

I ordered mine on 5 May. The dealer told me we have missed the May production cut off of 20 Apr and my order will go to the JUNE production. So the expected delivery time will be around mid to end of JULY! Kill me.
