UK delivery times
Hello, the other half is looking at replacing their Touareg within the next year and a X5 is high on the list of possible replacements ( Jag F Pace and XC90 R Design being the others)
Does anyone know how long from order to delivery for a factory order in the UK? It would most likely be a 3.0d in M Sport trim with a few options chucked in. Thanks for any help. If this is in the wrong place apologies! |

I thought it might be much longer than that. When the first X5 was launched I was a service advisor in a BMW dealership. Soon after launch our dealership's waiting list for a diesel was 18 months!!!! |

My 4.0D was ordered mid December and I have a build date of week 1 or 2 Feb (basically about now!). Then its a lottery on shipping, could take a week to get here, could take 4 depending on ship loading.
So your looking at around 6 weeks between order and build time. One week to build then up to 4 weeks shipping. Unfortunatley mine is a company car and my firm will only issue cars in the 1st week of any month so I'm expecting a 1st of April delivery to me. I've driven the new XC90 and its ok, but not a patch on the driving characteristics of the X5. Gearbox is'nt great on the XC90 either and its abit jumpy in sports mode. Saying that it is a lovely car and the space in it is amazing. You will feel like your driving a Range Rover though as it seems one hell of alot bigger than the X5! Unfortnately I've no experience with the new Jag. |

Thanks for your feedback. We've only got as far as going to showrooms but the XC90 especially in R Design trim was really nice especially the interior. It's probably a tad big for us, we just need a big boot for two big German Shepherds. And I can't see how a 4 cylinder diesel will be equal to BMW's 6 cylinder lump.
The F Pace looks really good and we had a XF before which we loved so just waiting to see it in the metal and that all important boot space! |

I ordered an x5 3.0d Xdrive msport in November 2015. Took delivery exactly 6 weeks later.
