Dropped into my local dealers yesterday and was told that the next build slot was for a September delivery, but he did say that was for the current model. I'm very sceptical tbh, that sounds like the new model delivery date to me! Expecting a call back soon and will see if they can confirm 100% it would be a G01, but I doubt it. Shame, as he was going to do me a cracking deal!

Shipping time from South Africa to UK is around 4 weeks, but I suspect your scepticism is justified. Who’s the dealer, and if you place an order will it hold the deal if it turns out to be G45, assuming you’re happy with that. |

Unless something changes before I change car, I also don't think my next car will be a BMW. |

I'm new here and first BMW so not as familiar with their processes besides the limited info I've read. Trading in a Chevy SS and the dealer ordered a 2024 M40i last night for me. They said they had allocations and were using a dealer stock order they could modify. Hope it gets built after reading the thread but would definitely take any advice from this group on whether I should continue looking for something close to my order that's on its way to another dealer.

I said hope because it looks like the 24's are getting down to the end here, some sheet he gave me had a few paint colors marked EOP. And it seems like BMW's allocation process is somewhat similar to like a Chevy/Ford in that they will take all the orders people will put deposits on, but may never build the car. |

Confirmed the order sheet for my 2024 X3 M40i on 4/13 and they just reached out to me for PCD on 6/13. Counting down the days!

Nothing against the new BMW elongated display as a I know it will be faster and more feature-filled but with that design, it's hard to distinguish it from many other vehicles and the current one looks classier. |

If it makes you feel better, I had an order confirmation from BMW within 24 hours and my X3 is now listed as "production begins" with a VIN number. Hopefully that'll be true for you, too! |

I want a car with practical info displays and physical switches, not a tablet with wheels. If BMW are aiming for a cheap and bland look, they nailed it �� |

I've looked at the Lexus UX300h, the Toyota Prius, Toyota Crowns interior layout and they are head and shoulder above the single curved display we now see on BMWs, Hyundais, and other Chinese cars in terms of aesthetics and usability. With physical buttons, it takes a second or two to touch a button and move through various settings. I'm not even against touch screens but at least embed them properly so they look beautiful and not afterthoughts. Also make voice command robust enough to handle music, HVAC and drive modes (probably the three most used functions while the car is in motion) if they will all be embedded in touch screens. Heck, the display on top of the dash, it actually makes sense because it keeps navigation or the infotainment system along the line of sight when paying attention to what's on the road. That 2026 Euro NCAP requiring stalks, hazard light button, will not be enough. |

Today's the day! First day of "Production Begins". F12 trick gets me a proddate of 5/20, a whopping 3 weeks before my scheduled PCD on 6/13. I guess the PCD is backed up??

We're on the same schedule it looks like. I didn't have a VIN this morning when I talked to the Genius but do now and F12 has me with a 5/20 date.
