here in the uk
I visited my dealer yesterday and was told i was number 40 on their list,
which means with a march 07 release, they expect about a 4 car a month per dealership build slot, so we are already looking at a 10 month waiting list already. so 18 months or so.

so not so bad as my current 05 x5 took 13 months on order.

and it will be 2 and a half years old when i trade it.

so think yourself lucky if you only have to wait a few weeks and dont have to pay £50,000 for a diesel.
