When is x5 available in the UK

[Tezza]

Hi all,

I am planning on getting the a new car soon and the new X5 is top of my list. Does anybody know when the X5 is available in the UK and what the likely waiting time is to get one ?

Many thanks in advance.

You should be able to pick one up during the first week in March...apparently. I was told the release date is March 8th. Not sure how accurate that was..

if you're after a diesel prepare yourself for a wait as my dealer has taken over 70 £1k deposits on the diesels.
if you want a petrol you will get one straight away.

The official launch date in April 28th, you will not get one before then. I've managed to get myself to 2nd on my Dealer's list, so I should pick mine up on launch-day. I understand that most dealers have a large waiting list and no certainty around their short to medium term allocations. In some areas it may be difficult to get one during 2007 esp if you're looking for a diesel.

Does anyone have a copy of the UK or European brochure online?

Yes there are..There's a NA model brochure floating around at the moment, not sure how complete it is...There are a few options available in it, but I think there are actually more...
