Hi,

I view these forums a lot and find them really useful... here’s my debut post!

I’'m going back to a company car and have ordered a 530e M Sport. The proposed delivery date is 21 weeks away in April!! Is that normal? All previous new BMW’s I have had have been 8-12 weeks.

I’'ve been in turmoil with colours and spec - have settled on Sophisto Grey with black Dakota and cove trim. After the number of threads I’'ve read on here I recognise that will be polarising opinion!!

I think your dealership probably doesn't have an allotment before then OR it doesn't want to use its allotment for you. I ordered a 530e MSport on October 18th and the build was completed November 8th. Now I await transport. But my dealership had an allotment and used it for me.

You should specifically ask them if they have an allotment earlier that they can slot you into. If they say no, check with another dealership (if you have one in your area).

Thanks - the orders actually go through our leasing company so I have no interface with the dealership... in fact I don't even know what dealer it's coming from!!! Guess it's time to test my patience!

Ordered mid July, expected end of Jan. The price of cheap BIK in the UK. You may get lucky but seems to be only private buyers are going to get precious early slots, no reason dealers will waste them on leases. Let's hope they are worth the wait...
