A Bavaria C III Radio? Wow. How did you get them to install this? Some kind of diplomatic option?

I'm seriously considering ordering an X5 M Sport to replace my 2012 X3 30D M Sport though my dealer is talking delivery in AUGUST!!!
Even if I place my order within the next two weeks , they're telling me that there's no way of getting build scheduled before JULY.

Has anyone else heard similar tales in the UK or is it BS?

I ordered mine in mid January and was quoted ~12 weeks to delivery.
My dealer assures me Production is end march for delivery at the dealer (in wiltshire) Easter weekend.
PM me if you want details of the dealer, and the deal I got for my 3D M Sport.

COME ON DOWN.......

[Gilly1964]

Ordered 19th December - into production and VIN notified 28/2/14 - estimated for delivery mid April (but secretly hoping for end of March)

30d MSport
Space Grey with Matt Aluminium exterior trim and Hex internal trim
Sun Protection Glass and Black Dakota leather
451 20" Y-spoke Alloys
Active Security, Connected Drive Packages
Comfort Access, Heated / Ventilated Comfort Seats, Heated Steering Wheel

Ordered my 30d X5 M Sport to replace my 2012 F25 X3.

I love the X3, it drives better than any other SUV that I've ever driven (even the F15 IMHO) though it's just not big enough to meet my business needs.

I test drove an SE demonstrator first though didn't like the way it drove at all. The very light, over-assisted steering with little or no feel was my main criticism. I then tried an M Sport (on 469m 20"s) the steering on which felt better (improved weighting) though there's still very little in the way of real feedback from the road.

There seems very little difference between the X3 & X5 in straight line performance, I guess the new X5's weight reduction helps and there may have been some improvements in the engine department though I'm not sure. Fuel economy compared very well too.

The X5's pro's out-way the single con for me so had no hesitation in ordering the X5 today.

Not sure how long I'll have to wait, mixed messages from the dealer who initially was talking Mid august though this has been changed to June-July.

I've ordered:

BMW X5 5 Door xDrive30d M Sport 14

Zns Connected drive Services Package
Zxh Cold Weather Package
4cv Interior Trim American Oak High Gloss

My car's on a BMW business lease and I've got approx. 10% discount of list price (as a return customer) so I'm well pleased - the discount's paid for the extra's!

Just got to wait for a build / expected delivery dates now.

I have also ordered my 3D M Sport with 2pw 20in Light M Double Spoke Style 469m. Did you ask that these where all season RF tyres?

• 4DD Fineline Pure Wood Trim
• LCMY Mocha Dakota Leather
• ZDA Driver Assistance Package
• ZPP Premium Package
• 2LS 20" Light alloy Y-Spoke wheels style 451

Feb 17 -

Negotiated and placed the order with dealer's 112 allocation (CA said vehicle should be at the dealer middle to end of Mar, he seems to be right so far)

Feb 26 -

"Production Begins" updated on website

Mar 1 -

Estimated completion date via 800-number

Crossing my fingers that BMW will extend the Drive Credit until end of March, or possibly have a better incentive available.

No, I must admit I was expecting normal 'performance' run flats rather than AS types. I'll ask the question since my dealer has an M Sport demonstrator with the same wheels fitted.

[CatFlap]

Is there any way that us poor souls in the UK can get build status updates like the buyers in the USA can via the 800-number?

Is our only option to pester our local sales department?

I got "threatened" with a similar timeline when I enquirer about changing my 30d order for a 40d. However I rang up drivethedeal and the guy promised a mid June delivery. I suggest you give drivethedeal a ring.

Edit: I see you placed your order already so above probably a moot point.
