Anyone who thinks they are getting a custom build from Europe in under a month is smoking crack, it isn't happening. New model, very little inventory, demand is higher than supply right now, so there can be a wait.

The wait is worth it, I love my 540xi. Drives so much better than my 535, is quieter and faster. Be Patient, it will come.
Is that an American process? In the U.K. I think they just order it and it gets slotted. You can even order online on the website now I think.
