Time from Thorne to your dealer?

Hi all,
If you have recently had an f10 or f11 delivered.
How long did it take between arriving at thorne, the vehicle preparation centre and arriving at your dealer?

Thanks!
Paul

Dealer said today UK vehicles no longer go through Thorne, but from Southampton to the dealership ?

Is that your experience too?
Or is it just because we are in the south?

My M3 in 2009 took 10 weeks! Order placed 25th May, delivery 31st of July. But that was when orders were very low.

If a car is at Thorne it should be at max 1 working week unless its around the new reg times which is when they are very busy. My M3 went through thorne in a day.
