Imagine how surprised I was when last week I was told it was at the dealer? I can't have it till 20th November but I was expecting mid-December. There is zero chance it took a week.5 to get to UK unless they love me so much they put it on a cargo plane. p.s when I got the VIN I found it was built in the US ;-) |

I will wait and see then and fingers crossed as if it goes into Jan I am going to have to get some wheels for work.
No Vin number yet so can't see where it is made |

That is really strange, how can yours be ordered 3 weeks before mine but not started prodction yet! Although I heard a rumour that M40d’s with individual options are built in Spartenburg, so maybe yours is being built in south africa?

That's certainly not truth. Spartanburg (USA), Rosslyn (South Africa), and somewhere in Asia I believe.

My bad - Rosslyn did start production in April of 2018.

No they're built in Rosslyn, SA as well and I think also some are built in China?
Europe gets them from Spartanburg and Rosslyn depending on engine, model and options EU Petrol models and possibly M40d come from Spartanburg Non M Performance diesels (not sure about M40d?) come from Rosslyn unless they have a individual option then they come from Spartanburg Trouble is as with all facts at one point in time they do change subject to capacity at each plant so could be different now |
