730d xdrive UK Order
Just placed the order last week, on the basis that the dealer can use one of their slots and have the car delivered early October.
730d xdrive Magellan grey I also added the following options: - advanced parking - Heat comfort - Seat ventilation - driving assistant plus The 0% finance deal by BMW at the moment made it a simple choice to go for a new 730 |

Scrap that - just heard from the dealer that the delivery date has been put back to the end of the year, from early October?!
Has anyone else had big changes to build/delivery dates recently? |

Just had my dealer, who promised me a loan car whilst my car is being built, is now arguing when the beginning of September is! complete joke. What really pisses me off is that I get zero insight into the build process, unlike what the americans seem to get. I guess its ultimately my fault as I should of cancelled when things started going wrong with the original order and the dealer (Spire Borehamwood) |

I had HUD in my 6er and don't miss it on the 7. I guess is personal preference.
The full lcd dash and idrive give some much info I didn't feel the need.

I kicked off with dealer and they managed to get it to w/c 24th Oct - I'm arguing with them to give me a loan car but they don't seem to want to help. they have given me this weekend to decide if I want to cancel and they will refund deposit - not sure what to do. Delaer is Eastern in Edinburgh (and I live in Essex :-) ) |

I think you just have to decide how much you want it (like me but I'm not so far along). I'm suspecting at some point my delivery date will be put back, but if that happens I'll cancel (or I think I will at the moment :-) ) because I will feel that I've been string along (hence the request for a screen print of the order in the BMW system with build date)

Update
SO I checked with local dealers and none have any cars without massive spec I can get sooner. They are saying it was quiet Q2 but with the offers they now have a lot of 7's on order. Staying with my order and fingers crossed it comes earlier not later
