Delivery
 

Does anyone know how long it takes from the time I order an X5 to time of Delivery from the factory, and does anyone have any idea where online I can find the 2005 owner's manual.

For some strange reason BMW doesn't have the 2005 owners manual available for download from the Owners Circle :dunno: There really are no significant changes from 2004 to 2005, so just reference the 2004 manual if you need something. You can find a link to it on the home page (http://xoutpost.com) in the GENERAL INFO & GUIDES section.

It can take anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks depending on your location.

Last Monday (4/11/05) I picked up my new 2005 4.4i. It took four weeks to get to preparation center and another five days to get to my dealer in MN. Therefore, total time from date of order was five weeks.

my x5 was 'on order' for 2 1/2 weeks and just recently was scheduled for production. i'm hoping/aiming for middle of may.

i have been waiting 13 months for my x5 3.0D here in the UK and i have another 2months to go

so dont complain about a month :thumbup:

damn, why is it taking so long??????

12 months plus is the norm for the diesel as they are the most popular engine
due to fuel costs,if you want a petrol and their arent many on the road its around 6 months delivery plus, with my local dealer

if i was prepared to drive to the other end of the country i could of ordered one with a delivery of 9 months.

it also is down to car alocation numbers to the dealers

the only advantage is the residuals stay very high, my friend was offered £2000 more than he payed for a 1 month old car by the dealer he ordered the car from

3 year old cars with sensible milage and the right spec are only loosing about
£10,000

The US guys have got it made (I am an American living in Hungary). The 3.0D rocks, but over here it cost me about $110K, whereas they cost tops what $60K? Of course mine is fully loaded with EVERYTHING. But you will be angry when I tell you I got mine in a month. Luck of the allocation. Still It is worth every penny

$110,000 :wow: yikes!
