Just depends on what slots the dealers have scheduled.

I walking in on the 26th January and the car got to the dealers around 20th March.

Think I was quite lucky now looking at the build times.

8 weeks is about average for uk for cars in general. Feb-march I think gets busy so 10-12 weeks is not uncommon. But if I had not had the time I'd not have added the additional specs (HK, premium package) and will have been probably slightly disappointed I hadn't.

I spoke to my dealer and generally anyone that places an order now is looking at
An end of July/early August delivery. There's such a high demand for the car ar the minute! I have literally only seen 2 on the road! Collecting mine this Tuesday hopefully after a 4 week delay. Overall its been about a 10 week wait since I placed the order in February. Due to over production at the factory, car was sitting there for 3 weeks as logistics didn't want to transport cars due to risk of damage on way to port!

Just spoke to the Genius web chat but they weren't able to give me an update due to security reason. Said I'd have to contact the dealer for any updates, has anyone else been told this?

Maybe they check via your ip that you're really in the uk. If you're using a vpn or randomly being funnelled through some foreign network it might cause issues. I remember we'd randomly get some Nordic google page now and again (in Newcastle)...

Update: G30 arrived in Newark, NJ on 4/18 and die into Galveston, TX 4/25. Getting closer. Anticipation growing exponentially!

Just been in touch with BMW Genius:

It looks like my date has been changed it has been put back and they cant tell me why

Original status 27/04/2017: 1100 Scheduled. Production week is 24th of June and estimated delivery is 27th week in July

Status Now 02/05/2017: 1100 Scheduled.Your production week is week 35 in August.And your expected delivery week is week 39 in September.

Have messaged the dealer to find out as they were going to try and bring it forward rather than put me back. see what they say.

That's mad, I ordered mine at the end of March and it's due into the dealer WC 22nd May. What options have you specified as I've heard with other manufacturers that they run out of a specific part and that then causes big delays. I think Skoda had something a few years back where all cars with a sunroof option had huge lead times.

I went with lloyds BMW fenham Barracks

I have dealt with them for a few years now got my dads and mrs BMW from them too.

We have a good relationship but this is the first time i have bought from the factory. normally they find one already built in the UK and get it shipped.

who did you go with?

i havent gone with any fancy options.

The only extra i put down were:

The black wheels
gesture control
privacy glass at the back.

The rest i was pretty happy with and did not really want any of the fancy packs as was quite happy with how everything else was.

Yeah same

That's one really big delay though - I'd check with the dealer - the online genius has a v limited repertoire...

They called me today and said that they got in touch with the plant in Germany that is building it and seeing whats going on. They said that the petrol models are being moved about a bit i just hope its not BS**t but my family have bought 5 cars from them in the last 4 years.

My f10 goes in tomorrow for a service and MOT the last one on the service pack i had. My wife will try and see if they have any info in the afternoon when she picks it up.
