It's not the end of the world, but it is a little disappointing as we had planned to travel somewhere with the bigger car.

As I understand it, BMW allocate slots based on chassis and engine. I wonder if the lower popularity of the 530i engine causes a delay?

Any updates on your delivery?

Like you, I have a family trip planned and would love to have the BMW rather than my smokey 09 Subaru...

I ordered my F11 4 weeks ago, I tried to make a minor change to the order 2 weeks ago but was told that I couldn't as the car was past the point of no return in the production stage but I am still being told the car will be another 4 weeks until delivery.

That's an 8 week lead time for a UK delivery of a bog standard F11 520d. Reading American posted forum entries, deliveries to the US are quicker than 8 weeks even though they spend another 10 days on the water.

Good luck with all your cars.
