I don't suppose that if it came in December I could get them to keep it till the spring Though I did read on another thread someone saying that demand for new cars has collapsed in Russia .. so that might speed up deliveries elsewhere .. but I have no knowledge whether it is true or not !

I ordered through a leasing company andBMW park lane who are fulfilling the order said that the last record on the system is that the car left the depot in USA on 18 September. Does anyone have any idea how long it should take to arrive at the dealer in London based on oast experience as they couldn't give me a precise date.

Long wait is over
I maybe one of the few lucky ones.
I ordered mine on 10th May and sales advisor initially informed me that the vehicle was expected to be delivered last week of October. Every three weeks, the sales advisor was very active in calling me up and advising what the situation was. There was no change in vehicle order status until first week of August when the advisor advised me that vehicle delivery has been moved forward into the 2nd week of October. Then two weeks later, the advisor called up to inform me vehicle was expected to be delivered a week ahead. To cut the long story short, vehicle was in the country week of 22-Sep, and ready for delivery during the same week. The sales advisor in Stephen James Bromley was very efficient, and my wife and I came out of the dealership with a big smile on our faces The same sales advisor informed me that orders placed this month are looking at a late April delivery at the very least :-( Apparently, the X3s are selling very well. |

At last!!!
After seven months of patiently (grrrrr!) waiting since mid-April I'm finally off to collect my X3 2.0D MSport auto tomorrow morning. Can't wait to see her for the first time . She's in white and has the glass sunroof, adaptive dampers, 19" 622M wheels, beige interior with walnut trim, interior comfort package, media package BMW Professional, visibility package, comfort access, reverse assist camera, surround view and heated steering wheel. Having for some reason never had a BMW before I'm really looking forward to getting her. I'm also pleased that I bought from a dealer 170 miles away from home (don't ask why) so I get a good familiarisation drive on the first day. I'll post some pictures when I can drag myself away long enough to take them!!! |

Well, I've finally got her, and I must say that early impressions are very favourable indeed!
Picked up yesterday at about 11am with 4 miles showing on the odometer. After drooling for for a while and having things explained I paired the bluetooth to my phone, set the satnav for home (which was way easier to do than in my previous car) and headed off towards home. Within 30 minutes the heavens opened and I ended up driving my pristine new baby most of the way home in heavy rain and high winds with all the visibility problems that brings with it plus the spray from the heavies. When I finally made it home with 178 miles on the clock, my pristine car was now looking a bit shabby so I think my first job today will be to give her a wash - didn't think I'd be doing that on the first full day!! How did she drive? As you, and I, would have expected - beautifully. I am very pleased so far. May get time for photos later after the wash down. |

Congrats! Often refer to mine as "the puddle smasher". I still try to avoid standing water but worry less when it's unavoidable e.g. when in the 2nd overtaking lane on the M1.

I spoke to my dealer this afternoon for an update on any potential delays. He stated that my car shouldn't be delayed and may in fact come sooner as China has just relinquished a large part of its allocation of cars.
Interesting

So here she is after having the grime of the first journey washed off.
I have to say I'm delighted with my car - it's a joy to drive and I'm pleased with the beige interior and glad that I didn't go for the Oyster - I think it would have been a bit too much, but I'll find out in a few months because my son has now ordered a white X Line with Oyster interior. I think he may come to regret that somehow - he's got a 10 month old little boy!! |

Love the interior ... looks very classy and expensive SO much better than black which would be the obvious choice in a white car... I too had to choose between Oyster and Beige... my wife loved the Oyster but to my mind it is too pale and lacks something .. but the beige is darker, richer and in my view much more expensive looking. It also doesn't show the dirt anything like the Oyster interior does. I have Beige in my X1, which is three and a half years old and it still looks like new ... 5 year old boy too !! Once again very nice car Bramblings

Just had an update on my X3 X-Line order. Broker sent me grab of his screen.
The numbers show 3347339 - 1200 exp wk 48 - 64 - 30-Nov Not sure what they all mean but assume 30th November is expected delivery date. The broker says he hopes it might even improve on that too. Be interesting to see what the wheels will be on it.. |
