Australian Delivery Times - XBimmers

JordanWindebank · 04-05-2011, 05:23 PM

Hi all, I am waiting for my lease company to confirm my order has been placed but was hoping someone could provide any timeframes for recent Aus orders please?

Dealer told me 3-4 months an the lease company said the same but am nervous hearing other peoples delays.

JordanWindebank · 04-06-2011, 08:14 PM

Bump - anyone? Going to call the dealer tomorrow to try and get an indicaton but won't know for sure until next week. The suspense is killing me.

Aussie F10M · 04-07-2011, 04:01 AM

Mine was ordered 2 weeks ago. Delivery early July, but I don't know if that's because I ordered with the m sport package (which I understand isn't meant to be available in aus until the middle of the year).

JordanWindebank · 04-07-2011, 04:08 AM

Thanks! My order is going in tomorrow so I'll post back with an update.

Aussie F10M · 04-07-2011, 05:16 AM

First beemer ?

JordanWindebank · 04-07-2011, 05:23 AM

Yup... a "slight" upgrade from my Territory.

malfunction99 · 04-07-2011, 07:07 AM

Mine is also early July - 30d M-Sport, but dealer still can't or wont give me a production date etc. Be nice to have something official / on paper...

roders · 04-07-2011, 10:32 AM

My 30d MSport is due June, production for the MSports started this week. April build, with first shipments to to Australia early June.
Allocation slots are limited.....

Tsambi · 04-07-2011, 04:38 PM

Roders. I have been told by head office that all Aus production for M starting in May with end of june delivery. Are you 100% on April production?

JordanWindebank · 04-07-2011, 09:31 PM

So I've missed May production but have a slot in June for delivery early August. From what the lease company are being told BMW only gets a shipment in to Melbourne once a month. They are ringing around other dealers to see if they can get me a May production slot if anyone has one spare.

The earliest I can take delivery is early July as that is when my current lease expires so not too unhappy with August.

Going to be a looong 4 months though.

roders · 04-08-2011, 07:09 AM

I got my BMW confirmation of build 1st April.....(not an april fool)

There was a limited number of vehicles which were able to start the production before the tailgate delay issue.
Unless you got a confirmation of build, all other 30d's will be facing a 4-6 weeks delay due to shortage of components for the automatic tailgate. Shortage caused by Japan....

S70IP · 05-09-2011, 09:52 PM

Hi everyone,

Just ordered a X3 20d last week. Dealer told me today may be a October delivery. Ouch.....

I live in Melbourne, Australia.

Tsambi · 05-10-2011, 06:09 AM

Just got my 30d m vin details. Tracking to Aus now starts. Due at dock 20 June. Can't wait anymore!!!!

aussiem3 · 05-10-2011, 07:43 AM

That's the hardest part. I have a May production but the week hasn't been confirmed yet. But I was told July delivery for Vermillion Red/Oyster 3.0d. Down sizing from an 2006 E53 X5 3.0d. This is my wife's car.

Tsambi · 05-11-2011, 09:37 PM

Roders did your April production go through? When are you expecting delivery? Just interested as I was effected by delays

Shaw · 05-12-2011, 08:08 AM

Is Diesel more common in Aus? (like in Europe)

Tsambi · 05-12-2011, 09:00 AM

You might find this an interesting read. I still believe petrol outsells diesel generally, with BMW being the first passenger car company in australia to sell more diesel than petrol. I would say the popularity of diesel in the x range has impacted this.

Tsambi · 05-12-2011, 09:03 AM

Aussie m. Your car may be on the same boat as mine. I was looking at the ship load today and there is a few but not too many 30ds headed our way!!!!

malfunction99 · 05-12-2011, 08:43 PM

Hi Tsambi,

Mine IS on the same ship - the Oberon. 30D M-Sport, Build week 18.
ETA Brisbane 9th June. So perhaps an earlier delivery than mid-July quoted by the dealer. If so, excellent.

Mardoq · 05-13-2011, 01:51 AM

You would hope that they can get it from the boat to a dealership in the same town in less than a month......?

Good stuff though guys. I'm waiting for confirmation of production date which is somewhere in July. Will be a long wait!

aussiem3 · 05-13-2011, 05:56 PM

It was confirmed that mine is a week 20 build and expecting mid July. In the meantime I have to try and sell my 2006 E53 X5 3.0d with only 60k km.
