If your E70 is in an accident... be prepared to wait
 Is this an isolated problem with the E70 or is this the norm for any new BMW model?

it seems to be pretty standard. I have had a problem with my 4x4 system since June. It has had the positioning motor replaced (10 day wait), Transfer box (3 week wait) and I am now waiting for a control unit (5 days and counting). Mix that in with needing to wait until the dealer has a slot, I have now been waiting 8 weeks for my car to be fixed.
Apparently both the positioning motor and transfer box were ok, it was the control box all along.....now call me stupid, but wouldn't that be the first thing to suspect. The dealer tells me that they can only change what they are authorised to do so by BMW UK! Dealer has been talking to BMW about getting some serious compensation.

First year run....
Hell, I had the back seat leather replaced in my E60 and that took 3 months on back order.

 - I remember seeing issues like this for the E53, if you had to replace the tires you'll have to wait almost a year since they didn't have enough during the first 1.5years of production run.

I'll have to second what many of you said...My E70 4.8 was in the shop for almost 6 weeks because the iDrive failed and BMW didn't have extra CCC modules on hand.
