Order-to-Delivery Time

[Monty04]

I was initially very optomistic about receiving my ordered X5 3.0 quickly. I signed the order on December 7 and it went into production almost immediately as a substitution for one of the dealer's allocated slots. Production was completed on December 16, but unfortunately, the status on the 800 number hasn't changed since. The status is waiting to be released to the carrier. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up so high, because now it is bumming me out. Out of the 15 vehicles that I have purchased or leased in my lifetime, this is the first one I had to order.
