You getting impatient with all this chat trying to passing the time? If you get yours before the olympics just stick 5 rings on the side and as you live in London you can pretent it is a BMW sponsor car and get access to the olympic lanes and get VIP access to Park Lane

I was wondering if the Olympics were the reason my car was delayed ... if I get stopped I will try the "official car" thing and see if it flies and get back to you ...

I have my doubts about delivery in May.

The next boat to Southampton only arrives on the 27th.

Nothing back from the dealer yet then SR40 / Yeltzer? Hope yours are one of the 6 built for the UK
Might want to check up with the dealer to see what the order status code is for your car?

Not yet. The guy I've been dealing with at the dealer is now on hols until May 8th. I'm fairly relaxed as the PCP on my current E90 doesn't finish til the end of June. Would be a nice problem to have though if they phoned up and said my F25 was ready!

I am not sure if Desmoduece is saying that's 6 * X3 or 6 * 35d ...

I assumed we were just talking about the number of N57Zs ...

I think there actually quite a lot of 20ds.

Yea I guess that it makes you pretty relaxed. Having sold my Freelander 2 earlier in the year and bought a 02 plate Mondeo in the interim, I am now itching to get in a new car again

That's going to be some jump from a '02 Mondeo to a brand spanking new F25

yea its all up and down over the last few months... had a 59 Freelander 2 before I sold that to buy a new car... so going from that to an 02 Mondeo was a massive change .. not a very good one lol
but things should be looking up again now with the new X3

Yes, very excited ...

When it arrives I intend to do a full review of all features with photos and video.

There is something really odd with the screen shot the dealer just sent me showing it as 9000 ... Expected week is now showing as 20 instead of 24 ... as far as I am concerned that's IMPOSSIBLE (Given the shipping schedule) ... I checked with the dealer and they think it’s a "mistake" ... but for a moment I got very excited!

... or maybe it's FedEx after all!
