think I just got lucky, red,havanna,pronav,towbar,sunroof + other bits like rear view/dab/seat pack etc so probably not a stock car

Just heard, car has now been scheduled for build Week 20.
Delivery should be week 26 and with me last week of June!

Just ordered a 2.0d MSport Auto
Deep Sea Blue
Oyster interior
Fine line wave wood
Prof Nav
Rev camera
DAB radio and business speakers
Mobile apps
Xenon
Folding mirrors
Front seat heating
Servotronic steering
Sun protection glass

I see on the Internet there is mentioned that once you get an order number you can watch your X3 being built?? Has anyone tried this??

Status 6000 ... It lives!

It sounds so impersonal ... should I be saying She or He lives?

Horsey · 05-02-2012, 12:51 AM

Bar humbug ...

Just has a look a the Wallenius Wilhelmsen shipping schedule ... just my luck ...

The next ship leaving Charleston, SC departs on the 8th and takes 19 days to get to Southampton, scheduled to arrive on 27th.

So that’s an effective transit time of 25 days ...

I notice there is one ship that only takes 14 days ... couldn't have been that one leaving tomorrow could it ... doh!

On the bright side ... 6 weeks to go.

Is your X3 on it's way or being built?

:-O

Desmoduece · 05-02-2012, 02:09 AM

6000, 9000 where do you see those numbers? On the shipping company website?

D'oh ... missed waving at it for me as she went down the production line ...

Tell me she is pretty ...

Horsey · 05-02-2012, 02:38 AM

It's funny really ... in a sad sort of way ...

Waited two and a half months while nothing happened ...

Then suddenly in the blink of an eye its over and the car is built.

... and now I have to wait another month before something happens again.

I hope she gets a window seat for the journey ... although there is more elbow room in the aisle ...

Shame we don't get the nice videos of our cars being made like the US guys and gals.

Desmoduece · 05-02-2012, 02:58 AM

I think so

Horsey · 05-02-2012, 03:04 AM

I guess I need to find some pointless busy work to pass the time ...

Let’s try something really hard ...
