I have since asked how many orders are ahead of me and how many slots the dealership get a month just so I can estimate the wait (waiting for an answer).
If only we could get accurate estimates when ordering then no false expectations would be made!

IF your dealer has a confirmed slot then he should be able at the point of order give you an estimated build week and delivery week from the BMW online order system
Before I even ordered mine I was told how long it would take and once the order was placed it was very accurate, and although it subsequently slipped the dealer was pretty spot on throughout.. Frustrating for me though !
IF your dealer is hedging his bets and doesn't have a confirmed slot then I'd imagine his answers would be vague
If you have a BMW factory order number then the car is in the system and any bmw dealer can bring it up on the screen and see where it is upto and expected delivery/build dates.
If you are close enough go in stand next to him and get him to bring it up on the screen
If he won't then that will tell you that they haven't placed the order yet with the factory and are holding your deposit pending them finding you a slot
As I understand it .. 30d's are four/five months and 20d's still hard to get at eight/nine months
