Order to Delivery?

amdave · 05-26-2008, 04:56 PM

How long is your order-to-delivery time span? I'm just trying to get an average because I think it took longer to repair my 08 335i than it would to order a new one!

ZTZ1010 · 05-26-2008, 05:17 PM

It has been 9 weeks for me so far. Still no date for delivery, or confirmation whether or not my car is even at the dealer.

amdave · 05-26-2008, 05:48 PM

got a PM saying about 5 weeks

col4bin · 05-26-2008, 06:45 PM

looks like it will be 8 weeks for me

Zimo · 05-26-2008, 07:06 PM

Ordered 4/1 - taking delivery tomorrow 5/26

MikeMidd · 05-26-2008, 07:24 PM

Ordered 4.29, taking delivery at the Performance Center on 7.10. So roughly 2.5 months. I think had I not done PCD in South Carolina, and just had it shipped to the dealer, I could've shaved off a week or two.

sayemthree · 05-26-2008, 11:25 PM

about 7 for my 535ixT. looks about 9 or 10 for my M3.

GarySL · 05-27-2008, 12:26 AM

Jan '08 order-45 days (E91)
March '08 order-45 days (E90), both west coast deliveries... Good luck.

I ordered mine on April 18th I wont get it till around the first of August. 10 weeks between order and build and 5 weeks on a boat.

15 weeks is bullshit to wait for a new car that is already in production.

AJerman · 05-27-2008, 10:26 AM

Ordered 4/17. Taking delivery today.

Jet335i · 05-27-2008, 12:02 PM

very nice!

Edited: A shade under 6 weeks...so 5.75 weeks from order to delivery.

Nothing pisses me off more than to see something like that, nothing against you, its all against BMW. I ordered my 335i the day after you did but I have to wait till August to pick it up.

That's lame, why is there such a delay?? Can you go to a different dealer and maybe get a sooner delivery time?

2manycars1 · 05-27-2008, 03:46 PM

The delivery time depends, to a large degree, on your dealers allocation. They need to have an open slot for a particular type of car to schedule a production slot. Sometimes they get an extra car, or a port car if they are a large dealer. There are also times when someone drops out of the Que., and you get their slot.

Another unfair but true fact is that a really good customer, will bump an infrequent customer and get an earlier slot, or in some rare cases, "steal" a car ready to go into production for someone else.

Dealer trades happen often as well, and if you are a good enough customer, they will trade an open slot or two for a really hot car, for an unsold car that might be at the port, on the water, or scheduled for production at another dealer.

The bottom line is build a relationship with a dealer, and it is amazing how fast things can happen. I got a 335 convertible the first month they were released, the way I wanted it (with one additional option) and in a good color (white) and only had a two week delay. They worked out a deal for a car on the water for another dealer, and traded two of their slots for it.

Good luck!

I live in England and I ordered my E90 edition on the 14th April and it has just about to leave the factory so I predict about 2 more weeks.
I ordered mine a couple of days before a friend of mine exactly same model and he recieved his nearly 2 weeks ago but was told he got the last slot for the edition model for May and I got the first of Junes quota.
