Opinions and Suggestions

[RLee371]

Hello everyone,

I ordered a 4.8 X5 at the dealership in early July. I was faxed an order confirmation on July 2nd, and faxed one signed on July 5th to the dealership. In my opinion, this would mean that 4 weeks from July 5th or 6th is when I should expect my X5. While I am currently out of the country, and just checked the website of the Owner's Circle, and called the BMW info, I have found out that might anticipated production week is 35, or the week of August 27th. This seems to me that the X5 will not be available until September 7th, or slightly thereafter. The BMW rep. whom I talked to could not give me an order date when the dealer put one into the BMW HQ, only the projected production week.

I want the opinions of other situations to see if it is the "norm" to be told 4 weeks, and expect 8-12 weeks, or if I should be angry/frustrated and so forth about this event. I also do not have a second car available to drive, as I was planning to return from vacation and have a car available.

Any rants, opinions, or suggestions are welcome.
