G30 Factory build times

Hi, I have a 520d m sport on Order having ordered about 4 weeks ago hopefully with delivery date before the tax hike on 1st April in the U.K. My dealer is very optimistic and has put a high priority tag on the order to bring production times forward. Currently it's at 5200 (paintshop start), it's been at this stage for the past week now. Anyone with a g30 recently delivered share how long it's taken from factory to delivery ?

Oh right. What info do you need to provide the genius for them to check. My dealer doesn't seem to get me the detail I'd like...

Just go on the uk website and open a chat session.

Ask them for a build status on your order, and give your order number. That should be it. Then feel free to pester them many times a day until your car turns up at the dealership

Excellent thanks. Not sure if I'm being a numpty though - the hat doesn't seem to be coming up and I can't see where the link is to launch one.

Mine went into production 3/22 and it says estimated 4/4 completion. My CA was able to look it up and give me a screenshot of the timing.

My 530i M Sport was ordered 3/1, went into production 3/6, and finished 3/17. It's been at the port ever since. Not shipped yet.

Update: as of 4/15 my car is on a boat headed for Newark 4/18 ETA then on to Galveston ETA 4/25. I'm in Austin, TX.

My 540i was ordered on the 30th January and was delivered to the dealer yesterday. My dealer managed to tax it on Friday, so I got the cheaper tax and I pick it up on Thursday! Can't wait

I was able to get more detailed information from calling BMW genius. The website BMW offers to track does not offer anything specific.

I've just placed an order today, have been advised that it'll be ready for collection towards the back end of May. The dealer sent me a screen shot of the order system this morning.

Ahh got you, I think the dealer said they had an allocated slot or something. I'll not be surprised if it gets pushed back a bit as it did seem rather quick to me for a factory build. Don't know if it helps that's its an slide with only a couple of options (sun protection glass and anti dazzle mirrors).
