My X5 order moved from status 1100 to 1200 today, not sure what the difference is between the two though at least something is happening!
Waited three months so far - this is the first status change so far...advised that build is due wk25 so not too long to wait I guess.

Good to see it's moving along. Worst thing about the wait is seeing US orders being delivered in a matter if weeks.

Yes - just starting to appreciate that "Large=Expensive" when it comes to anything car related.
BTW: I saw you got gap insurance from ALA. Out of interest what "gap" did you go for - £30K? invoice+ or replacement+? - I'm just trying to get my head around all the options |

I got the 'Back to Invoice +' option @ £25k for 3 years cover for £58k value. Premium was £248...so much cheaper than BMW's rip-off! |

Here is my order. My order was submitted on May 7th, my dealer modified one of his allocations that was scheduled for production, the car was completed on the 27th, currently awaiting transport. I can’t wait to get it! I really feel for everyone outside North America with some of the long lead times I’ve read here.

Yep, ordered March 3. Delivery Early Jan 2015. Spoke to my dealer this afternoon. He told me that ordering now, anywhere in Belgium, is,not to be delivered before Feb 2015. Can't believe BMW is not dealing with this.

I spoke to the dealer in the UK yesterday and she said that orders today or scheduled for delivery here in week 3 2015. Crazy and I'm sure production of the X4 ans possible X7 will slow it down further.

Where they try to have it on your driveway by the time you return from the dealership. Bitter? Twisted? Me?

Things are moving at last!
My status has moved to 5055, I have a VIN number and expected delivery date has improved by one week (wk30)!
I worked out that the first RHD X5 built today has VIN ending 43866 and since they seem to be built in sequence of VIN there's only a hundred or so to go until mine's built! (based on production data over the last month, it appears to take about 7 days to build 200 RHD X5's on this line therefore my car should be built by the end of this week - we'll see if it works out!)

I received the VIN, yesterday. On the Vehicle Inquiry, it states that the Status is: At Final Processing Center. At what stage is the X5 currently at?

I had mine delivered yesterday!
OMG! What a wonderful drive. That said, I have to apologise to the person driving towards me last night before I realised that the with the LED headlights the high beam assist has to be switched on! He must have thought the sun had risen when I came around the corner. Well worth the 5 month wait. Really enjoying it!!

When did your X5 complete it's build? I'm trying to work out what the typical transit time is to the UK. You can find out here if required: http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html
