Thanks for the replies.

Even though my CA has a very, "Don't call me - I'll call you" attitude, I think I'll just get on the phone and badger him for an update.

Oh yeah, I'll also thank my stars I'm not on the South African delivery schedule!

Dealer called today and its here! Thats 2 weeks from order date to delivery. Picking her up tomorrow. I'll post pics as soon as I can.

My initial price was $81,000, which I haggled down to roughly $78,000 (Canadian dollars). A lot of the options you listed come standard here, so I'd say our prices are actually very comparable.

Edit: CA said he'd call me back with an update... 24 hours later... still no update!

Looks like BMW might be seeing some decline in SAV demand as well as the other car companies. Two weeks from order to delivery sound like the factory isn't very busy.

Just got word - she's on the train and arriving next week! That'll mean a total wait of about six weeks.

I still have been told - start off October only! :-(
