Hi,

I ordered a X5 in Dec 06 and paid a deposit, (have been a BMW buyer for 20 yrs) was told delievery mid April 07. In April was told production of my car would now be May 07 with delievery in July 07 due to the Adaptive steer & suspension. Now I have been told production maybe in June or July 07 with delievery in Sept or Oct 07 due to the lack of 20" wheels & Comfort seats. P-ss poor BMW ( not the dealers fault ).

Contacted BMW Australia told them I was not happy, ask what compensation I would get and that my current X5 was loosing value because of the 6 months delay, they said if I did'nt like it cancel the car.

I get better service from Mercedes, I believe BMW Australia have become arrogant with there success and have poor communication skills for the public. They are ringing people who have orderred X5 V8 Ececs telling them they have to take sport seats or they won't get there car and to take 19" wheels, it's a disgrace and no appologies given.

What's the use of ordering a car early, could you see Mercedes or Audi telling you to lump it or leave it. I see the cars arriving in England have comfort seats & 20" wheels, probably the Australian supply re-directed. It's a joke!.

BMW should change there moto, " Goodday, drive the Australian outback, order a X5 today, because you will never never never know because you will never never never go"

As you can tell, not happy Jan.
