Currently Ordered
We ordered out 35d on the 23rd of December and while I have a production number, I have no build date. I went to the dealer this past weekend to see if I could get more detailed information on when it will be built so he looked it up and said that it looks like we are scheduled for the 8th week of the year for build.
My question is, in others experience, whether those estimates are accurate or if they usually have have longer lead times and the build actually happens sooner. I really don't want to wait until March but clearly the wife and I are hoping for sooner. First time we have ordered a BMW. http://www.xoutpost.com/images/smilies/dunno.gif Thanks |
That does seem odd as they are pushing custom ordering because they can do more just in time type production to keep costs better managed. They have been saying it takes around 4 weeks to 6 weeks for me from order to delivery. 8 weeks into this year just seems for build looks like a long time. Hope it was just the dealer having wrong info.
The custom ordering is being marketed that it can be turned around quickly...so 8 to 10 weeks is too long for that type of service. |

Let's hope he is wrong and it comes sooner. Thanks |
we ordered our 35D on Dec 9th... have a production number but still no production date..... dealer told us it would be in our hands around first of the year...
We'll see how much longer this takes!! |
Is it that difficult to find what you want on a dealer's lot ? I called my sales guy with what I wanted, and he tracked it down for me in a couple of days. Just curious.

I put in an order on 1/3. I've had a Production Number since ordering it. About 4 days ago my dealer told me they'd bumped me up to a closer production date. My BMW on the website shows "On Order", but I just called and found out that production has started. Cool!
Now, they would not tell me how long it takes to 'produce' the car, but my hope is that I'll have it here in early Feb. Here's what I am getting: X35d Sapphire Black Exterior Cinnamon Brown Interior Dark Bamboo wood trim Adaptive Drive Comfort Access system Comfort seats with lumbar support Heated rear seats High Beam Assistant Sport Activity Package Cold Weather Package Premium Package Premium Sound Package Technology Package I am psyched and eagerly awaiting it... So far, three things have bummed me out: - Apparently the X5 is not good on snow on the all-season tires... booh - No White Angel Eyes - Totally lame move by BMWNA - No 8 speed on the Diesel - Again, totally lame, cost-cutting move. Looks like we're getting the last of the 6'es since they were on overstock... I'd bet the '12 comes with 8 gears...we'll see. Cheers! JB |

How did the dealer bump you up to a closer production date? I emailed them this week and they said it is a BMW thing that they really have no control over. This bums me because the dealer told me I ws in the computer system for a week 8 (of new year) production. :( |
Alvam,
I think what they did is modify an order for a car they had previously ordered for stock to my specs. Either that, or someone cancelled their order and they gave me his/her slot. When that happened, my order # changed, fwiw. I'll venture a guess that who gets an order in is highly dependent on each particular dealer and where they are as regards their allocation. Try pushing your dealer, maybe there's something else he can do... Good luck! JB |
Ordered 12/31 (dealer probably actually submitted order on 1/3). PCD scheduled for 2/9. Not bad for a custom spec'd car IMHO.
