Did you order Saturday just gone? If so I'd be astounded if it was here already

Mine was 7 weeks to the day. Norm seems to be between 6-10 weeks but it can vary massively depending on exactly whats been ordered.

Did your dealer not even give you an estimate?

I totally understand. The waiting is painful. I just kept myself busy - odd jobs round the house and that sort of thing. 8 weeks is about normal i'd say.

Could be 12 plus weeks depending on the model. At least that's what mine will be. 10 weeks in, I'm still waiting. Supposedly coming at the end of the month

Mine is now on the train to Bremerhaven. What a pain in the butt. It's now been 4 week since order and it seems like I've got another 4 week to go. the waiting sucks.

BMWNA website is still useless. But at least when I called the BMW genius was at least able to pull up more details and let me know my car is in the paint shop and scheduled for completion on Friday (11/09).

Waiting does suck but the thing that sucks more is taking a car off the lot that doesn't match up to my real wants just because its there.

For those waiting, time soon passes if you are busy.

I've always seen it as a new car it is not new for long. Don't wish the time away too fast... a new car soon becomes a used car!

I placed the order on 22nd August. So I would say 10-11 weeks. It'll probably take another 2-3 weeks to arrive

Car is a 530d M Sport in Mediterranean Blue with black Dakota leather + Piano Black Trim. Got a decent number of options but nothing crazy.

- Comfort Package
- Technology Package
- Electronic Damper Control
- Driving Assistant Plus
- Parking Assistant Plus
- Remote Control Parking
- Remote Services
- Apple Car Play
- High Beam Assist


What is your order and when did you place it?

That's a great spec. I thought about integral steering but ended up not ordering it.

You could probably change your order still without impacting delivery times. I did change few things in my order after I placed the order.

It is a damn good spec. What made you go for the 540i? Was it the brute engine force or something else.
