Apprently all dealers have been told by BMW that they had to order an aero kit for the launch so at the launch night on the 26th or over the weekend on the 28th/29th you will be able to see what a "Sport" effectively looks like. It's expected that the Sport will be officially launched around the same time. I think my dealer is going to have two or three cars to look at.

Just had contact with the BMW agent........my new cars on `launch hold`.

With the 3 series `vert it was a 5 day delay....presume this affects all X5`s going to the dealers here in the UK.

Oh well, better chance of getting the Aero Kit in time!

My car has been on "Launch hold" since 23rd March. Still not left Thorne. However, my dealer received one of their demo cars and I'm off to see it in the morning.

I haven't heard the term "Launch Hold" is this held until launch or that the launch date is delayed?
Certainly now started seeing transporters with the odd E70s coming off the M18/M1 junction ( which I pass every morning) on a regular basis.
..........but no word from my dealer yet on it's arrival or any demos to see.

My dealer's demo arrived today. Looks real nice in the metal. The launch is still going ahead on 28th. My dealer hadn't seen that term used before either.
