That’s what I was thinking, I think they are quoting end of Dec as their current visibility probably just says ‘December’..... Would be nice to have it before Christmas 🎁

Fingers crossed it is just the result of a cautious approach by BMW so as not to over-promise and then suffer delays. Will be onto my dealer the moment the boat docks in Southampton!

And just seen another post that's reminded me the 2.9% deal is based on a delivered vehicle by 31st December. Seems crazy that I ordered two weeks before the deal started, got allocated to it (phew!) but am at risk of missing the end date!

I'm almost certain that it'll be delivered before 31st December and even if it isn't there's always 'something' they can do with the finance. |

True. Hopefully it'll be like others have experienced and it jumps forward a few weeks.

The really frustrating thing when tracking the ship is that it's been shadowing the Passero which is the boat I thought my car would be on. They were even moored next to each other in Vigo for a while! Passero is now heading off straight to Southampton, whilst mine has to go via Zeebrugge.

GA is on it's way ……. to Emden, docking on 18/11. Then I guess Bremerhaven on 19/20th, where it should have been on 16/11! Southampton 26/11 sounds about right. Even then, doesn't really explain a late Dec/ early Jan delivery. My dealer is still expecting week 50 delivery when system is saying week 2/20.
Hope so, it's meant to be run in taking me to Austria in week 51. Interesting thing dealer told me was that all UK cars go from port to BMW Group UK's Vehicle Distribution Centre at Thorne (Doncaster) for PDI/prep before going into dealer network. Prob's why it takes so long to get a car even when you live in Southampton! Luckily only 30 miles away for me. |

Once the car arrives in Southampton, it takes usually a week to clear customs at which point it can be released to the dealer. Doing it this way, meant my dealer in Heathrow was able to have it to his dealership in around 2 days and into my arms within 5 days of leaving the port. No harm in asking as it saved me a chunk of time and got my hands on it quicker, which I have to say is quite simply the nicest car I've ever owned! |

Now this has all been rectified I've settled into discovering this awesome machine. It is almost winter ready with all-weather floor mats and a non-OEM boot liner. Winter wheels and tyres will be arriving in the next few weeks - not very wintry at the moment here in SE England. I'm also fitting a RaceChip GTS Black (+54hp and +100Nm) which will be activated once the running in period is concluded. Only one minor gripe at present (aside from not being able to redline it), is the lack of the additional 12V socket in the passenger footwell that my 430i Convertible had and proved very useful for dashcam installation.

About time I posted some pic's of mine I guess
Here we are, some pic's from when I collected it after being detailed - Kamikaze Enrei (2-stage) by Ultimate Finish in Brands Hatch, together with Alloys, Leather, Fabric & Carpets and Glass treatments. Only thought to takes pictures once outside, fortunately the detailers had taken some of their own that they happily shared with me. Lighting outside was a bit drab that day!

Good news for UK 2020MY X3/X4 owners.......
Had the dubious 'pleasure' of a 500 mile round trip from Yorkshire to Hampshire yesterday. Saw so many BMW car transporters that they appeared to outnumber all others 10:1 with only 3 others - 2 Range Rover and 1 Aston Martin. Lots of Carbon Black, Sophisto Grey and Metallic Black with X4's out numbering X3's. Most were northbound from Hampshire (Southampton area) so I expect so deliveries imminent. Some even had plates on before getting to dealer - is that normal? Our X4 M40d comes Monday so good luck to all of you who have been patient - the wait appears over for many.... |
