330e finally ordered

330e M Sport finally ordered after Arval faffing about for a week and initially ordering the wrong colour?! Doh!

Due for production w/c 23rd Sept with delivery w/c 14th October. So much for the end August the dealer was indicating a week ago, thought that was a bit quick. Apparently they've had quite a run on 330e's in the last week.

Sunset Orange exterior
Mocha interior
M Sport + pack
HK audio
Driving Assist Pro
Extended storage
Open pore wood trim

Now just the waiting... :-)

The Arval system currently says delivery by 30th September (and only last week they were indicating early September) so there is something out of step. I got the actual dates from BMW Genius service. Reality is that if the dealer only get's it mid October then I'm not going to get it for at least another week while they do all their checks; I've requested to pick it up from Cooper Reading to save faffing about with trying to get a car transporter to my house!? Here's hoping that production speeds up! But that we don't get the Friday afternoon cars... :-)

I just asked the corporate order management folks at Inchcape and they gave me the BMW order number, no problem. As you've no doubt uncovered the Arval numbers don't work!? Arval themselves haven't (yet) responded to my request for the BMW order number...

Nothing wrong with a Sport.
I originally ordered a Sport but changed the order to an MSport
when I saw that the Technology Pack was free with the MSport.

It looks great. I think the Sport alloys look much better than the standard M Sport ones...

Arval are claiming ignorance over the BMW order number. Hope your dealer is a little more helpful...

no progress here... Sytner is not sharing the number, Arval cannot give it as well.

as long as you know (and would care to share the progress) - I would follow yours, as we ordered more or less same time and got same delivery dates

Mate absolutely! The dealer doesn’t reckon the dates will change much but I’ve ordered BMW’s in the past that have arrived much earlier than originally planned. Having said that, a Merc 300h was meant to take 4 months and took 6.5 months to arrive!? Let’s hope we don’t get that. To be fair the dealer did give me a brand new loan vehicle for the last 6 weeks FoC as I’d sold my private car in anticipation and was a bit stuck.

Bit crap that Sytner won’t tell you, maybe see if you can butter the corporate order progression folks up a bit, after all you are the customer, even if indirectly. Inchcape were really helpful, even let me have a demo car when I’d used up my 2 Arval demos elsewhere. Got them the business though.

I was gonna check with BMW Genius in a few weeks and see what I get back. Will let you know.

Mine is coming via Sytner too. I think it will be nominated to my local Sytner in Cardiff. I've already been in touch with their corporate team, were quite friendly. I might pop in tomorrow as I'm up the road from them.

Had delivery update from Arval this morning re-confirming build end August and delivery to me end September. They're a month out of whack with what the dealer is telling me. Waiting on them to respond on the discrepancy.

Seems like quite a few folks on here are getting their cars very quickly. Here's hoping :-)

Hmm, just checked with BMW Genius and turns out Arval may be right. Build is now w/c 26th August with delivery to dealer on 16th Sept. I can only assume dealers are allocated specific build slots as mine was ordered several weeks after yours. Weird...

Better get my home charge point ordered!

I must be right behind you on the production line as I have a 5050 code.

A projected delivery week commencing the 16th September to the Edinburgh dealer. It will then need to go to the fleet company in Stirling so likely to be the 23rd too.

Mine was 1200 yesterday so moved through a lot of codes quickly. For some reason it has slipped back a week, was also meant to be 16th to dealer.

Be interested to know your order status now. Mine is also due for build w/c 26th but yesterday delivery slipped a week from 16th to 23rd Sept. The Genius guy did say it could bounce around a bit, hoping it bounces forwards again :-)
