Australian Delivery Times
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. |

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).

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...

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. |

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.... |

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.

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

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.

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. Last edited by malfunction99; 05-12-2011 at 09:24 PM.. Reason: face palm... |

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! |

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.
