Can change to 605s at nil cost and that "might" get the order going! However I'm not that keen on that style of wheel. Can't get a definitive build date yet though for any of those options and don't particularly want to change if it's not gone to change delivery much.
I have one proposal to make that they put any old wheels on to get the car to the dealer and then the dealer put my winter wheels (from my current X3) on before I take delivery. Surely then the could get the wheels I want before next march for my summer tyres! However I have a feeling that that solution will be well beyond the logistical capabilities of BMW to organise!
How have you got on with your order ? Have they sorted the wheel problem ?
