New member - awaiting my my 540i
Hi, this is my first post here.
As per my location, I am from South Africa, and have ordered a Bluestone 540i on the 30th of May. I hope to take delivery of it towards the end of July, beginning of September. This will be my 2nd BMW, the first being a E90 335i. I have read a few posts here, and look forward to be a part of this dynamic forum. |

Hi Mk1-fan
I'm also South African and last week I ordered a 540i. Production is scheduled for September and I have been told that I will probably take delivery at the end of November or sometime in December. Only 2 units were allocated for the second half of the year for the whole of the country! So I anticipate that we won't see many other 540i's on the road. I will be interested to hear how long it takes you to get yours! Funnily enough, I also ordered mine in Bluestone. |

I spoke to my sales guy today, and he said my car is due at the harbour on the 26th of this month. He reckons I should get it within 2 weeks after that. Where in SA are you? |

I'm in Durban (the harbour to which you have referred), so maybe I won't have to wait two weeks for my car to be delivered after it's offloaded from the ship!
