X3 Production dates for UK orders

Hi

My order for a 2.0d went in early November and now desperately waiting for a production date.
I'd appreciate any feedback of your orders and dates to get a picture of where they are at.

best regards

Ordered mine 25 Oct. Build week 2 was given to me on 7/12/2010 and it has now been built and left the plant (status departed plant or something like that) but still no delivery date. Supposed to be early Feb and I should find out this week. I think shipping time is 2-3 weeks.

You can't track any of this online unfortunately. I tried plugging my VIN and production numbers into the US website but no joy. Just keep calling your dealer.

Will 3.0l production slots impact the 2.0l production slots? A dealer told me they expected all their 2011 production slots allocated by April. Another said that all UK dealers had been given 2 cars for launch - 1 manual, 1 auto and could not release either to a customer (even if sold) until their replacements arrive. That fits what I have seen at 3 dealers.

This is all guess work based on the link below, but I think they come out of Charleston shipped by Wallenius Wilhelmsen and there is a ship scheduled to leave there on 20.01.2011. Could be on this one?

port - country - depart - arrive
CHARLESTON,SC U.S.A. 20/01/2011 20/01/2011
BREMERHAVEN GERMANY 04/02/2011 05/02/2011
ZEEBRUGGE BELGIUM 07/02/2011 07/02/2011
SOUTHAMPTON UK 08/02/2011 08/02/2011

If it is on there you should be able to track it from Thurs by its VIN apparently.

Could be a different port / ship but this was the only Wallenius Wilhelmsen one I could find that fit the bill.

The guy that wrote this was clearly in a similar impatient position to us!

Vegas sounds awesome. Can only afford Bognor Regis this year. Spent too much on options!

Will definitely post some photos for you (of the new X3 not the holiday in Bognor)

My dealer said at the weekend that 4 customers had taken delivery from there so far. I haven't been out on the road much recently and I still haven't seen any!

Haha, nice work if you can get it. I rarely get allowed out of the office in London! That Vegas exhibition sounds like a jolly to me!

+1 for economical holidays in X3 with the family
