Order Sitting at 1100 for 5 weeks

Hi Guys,

I?m looking for your opinion. My order went into the BMW system on 21st August. It?s been 5 weeks since I got an order number but it?s sitting at 1100. Just want to know whether that?s normal for G30?

I?ve seen all my previous car orders moving through quicker. Dealer is saying that they?ve done all they can. Delivery is currently set for second week of December Needless to say, this is driving me insane


Here?s my spec.

530d M Sport

337 M Sports Package
ZOJ Technology pack
ZGM Comfort package
223 EDC
4ML Piano Black
5AC High-beam Assistant
5AT Driving Assistant Plus
5DV Remote Control Parking
6AP Remote Services
6CP Apple Car Play

wow that is quite a wait.
I can only assume the dealer didnt have any other earlier slots allocated to them so youve gone to the back of the queue.
with any luck that may well change once it goes to 1200 .

Thanks AP. I?ve asked the dealer to confirm that they don?t have any slots that they can fit this in. They?ve been dodging the question. I just wonder whether they don?t care much as I won?t become a regular customer given the distance.

That shouldn't make any difference. A sale is a sale.
I would keep hassling given they are dodging the question.

I just e-mailed again. Will follow up in the morning with a call. Let?s see how far I can push them.

Update: So I managed to get hold of them on the phone. Apparently the dealership has no slots for 530d and the UK allocations are all full. They’ve put a pull forward request but don’t think it’ll happen given the situation with allocations for UK.

According to them, delivery time for any new 530d is February next year. BMW must have underestimated demand for G30.
