Dealer said wait time is 2-3 weeks, delivery before Christmas (not that I celebrate christmas :)) !! They have some allocations for the December to fill. Will see, waiting for the build number...

Now the waiting comes (which I REALLY HAAAAAATE !)

Thanks to everyone for help and advice !

It will be here before you know it. Congrats :)

I finally sold him...
 

Congrats bro.. can't wait for you to smile as you fly on that ramp entering 78E .. :)
:thumbup:

:iagree: Ramps are fun :zoom:

Congrats !! but 2-3 weeks waiting time ?? I gotta wait 5-6 months for my 3.0d here in Belgium :confused: (guess it must be the boat ride :tantrum: )

Sorry, but it is too long for me... I am very impatient and result-oriented :)

On the other side, for most of non-X BMWs it takes longer to get them in the US as they come from Germany... So, overall, we are at disadvantage here in the US... But then again, this is an X5 forum, so I feel your pain...

Congratulations and don't forget to post pictures.

Just yanking your chain my friend...am really happy for you and can't wait to see the pictures !!!:thumbup:

so you're saying there are a lack of orders for December? Sounds good for those looking for deals, no?

AFAIK, it varies by the dealer. Each dealer has its own allotment to fullfil allocation-wise. Some are already filled it, some are not. I heard anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks from different dealers.

I got mine from the Morristown BMW in Morristown, NJ.

Also, nothing beats shopping for a new vehicle on a snowy Monday morning (yes, it snows here in NJ !), when you are the only customer knocking on their door at 9am, and the month-end and the year-end are just around the corner :) ! These places do lots of deals around christmas time, when it is a bonus-time on the Wall Street (and lots of Wall-streeters live around here); however, this year Wall Street will not be as generous as before, so many people are holding off, thus dealers want to deal in order not to loose their allocation quotas.

Again, just my opinions, and things could be different in LI and other NY-area places...
