Are you seeing new F01/F02's on the road?
Besides mine, I have only seen one in the Bay Area! It wasn't even from the Bay Area - it was from BMW of Santa Maria and looked like the family was on their way to SF for the weekend.....
The dealerships have them - but has the economy deferred purchases?? How many of you board members decided to wait? |

Well, I'm still waiting for mine... 8 days to build date and another 6 weeks give or take for delivery...
But I agree with you, I haven't seen too many on the road yet. That may change as the car has only been available for test drives for about a month and a bit now and most customers only seem to purchase a new car after they test drove one. Also, I don't think that most dealers had a lot of 750 in stock up until only recently!

Here in Italy the vehicle has been out since January and I've seen only 2 or 3. But then again I travel early in the morning and late in the evening so I could be missing them. I went to my local dealer and saw one in February and it is a breathtaking piece of machinery! I stood there for almost 2 hours just drooling over it. Sad, but true!

I think that they sold them and they now have to build them, so give it 2 to 3 month and you WILL see lots more on the road!

I was under the impression that most of these cars were actually delivered in march and ordered pre-launch..are you sure you can classify a car as sold on a 2000-3000 deposit...while it is being built in a factory...

No I'm not sure and you could be correct, but I don't think that those numbers they used in their statements, are cars that are already on the road (but hey, I could be wrong)

Per my dealer, sold status would equal delivery of a vehicle to the end user. That would make sense for dealers. For BMW NA - sold may be to their dealer network.....

Does BMW Canada have similar tracking info for the order, production, shipping, etc? We also have a 800 number that will tell you what stage the production is in. I suspect you have the same thing... Btw I was in Toronto in January at a training facility and attending the same week was the BMW of Canada national sales meeting. There were several new 7's in the parking lot. Actually this was my first real life viewing of the new 7's. |

The dealership called today to give me another update and so far everything is still on schedule. I haven't asked them if there is an 800 number to get status updates. I'm going to be at the dealership again on Wednesday, so I can ask them... The head honchos of BMW Canada have been driving 7 series cars since last winter (like November or December) as far as i know. I saw the new 7 series at the Canadian unveiling at the end of January. And then again at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto in mid February and shortly thereafter I changed my order to the 750. At the Auto Show, they actually had a 750Li individual in Citrin Black. That was the first time I saw the 750 in that color and I fell in love with that color right then and there

DuBai has been flooded with 740i and 750i (F01)since the beginning of 2009........In these times, people still got money in this part of the world.
