I'm waiting too

I asked my dealer a couple of weeks ago and he wasn't sure when it would be available. Only thing he could tell me is that BMW stops production on 2013 models in June. I would imagine the online configurator would be availabel sometime in June. At least i Hope so!

I'm hoping it will be earlier, but based on my experience, bmwusa takes some time to update their online configurators - so my guess will be August/September...

I'd love to know too!

I was just in the process of ordering a 520ed through a leasing company, when I got told the factory were not accepting any more orders until post LCI. Until all the option prices & details are released for the UK I can't order my car!

Don't know about regular F10, but M5 is available for "pre-configuration":

Well, so far, you can at least have a look at the MY14 F10 over here, showing different colors/wheels etc.:

I am ordering my LCI car tomorrow. Your local dealer should have all details. Ask your dealer to show you their SA3/ ISV system; and you should be able to see their configurator/ prices/ options, etc...

Did you have any luck? I ordered mine last Friday, 31 May.

Delivery can be expected in Aug week 1; but I have asked them to delay the build as I would want to get the new 63 Reg. So car will probably deliver in 3/4 week of Aug now.

No!! I called them but they say all they have are the list prices, not any of the options etc.

I've been told maybe Monday, but still no definitive answer.
I was originally told a five week wait from order to delivery, I can't see my directors paying for a hire car for me until August!!!

Who is your dealer? My dealer had all the doptions etails since 25 May and their order system went live on 24 May. I took about a week to finalise my options and the order was through...

If you are in a rush and you fancy a trip down to Hampshire, I can introduce you to my dealer and he can process your order...

PS: I have no association with my dealer, just willing to help a forum member out (if you desire)

It was my local dealer who said he didn't have the prices on Friday, however my car will be being ordered on a lease so maybe it's alphabet who haven't got their act together!

If I don't get an answer tomorrow, I'll contact your dealer, se if they have the lease prices.

Thanks for your help, I can't wait to get my first BMW!

Are you buying this on a private lease, like a BMW Hire Purchase or is this through some other leasing company?

Apologies, but I have no idea about finance schemes as I have always bought my cars directly. Cash to the dealer and personal loan from my bank,etc...

I can try and get you a good deal with the dealer (I have bought 4 cars from them in last 10 years) if the negotiation is direct with the dealer.

It's contract hire through BMWs leasing company, alphabet. It will be my company car for the next four years/120,000 miles. I normally use a leasing broker for our company cars and they have a BMW dealer they normally use, but if I can get it quicker through another dealer, then I'm all for it!

Anyone talk to a dealer in the U.S. lately

Sounds like the UK is in luck. Anyone talk to a dealer in the US lately about being able to order a 2014? I may try to call today if I have time to see what they say.

Well I've finally found out why I still have a delay in ordering mine!

It turns out that whilst the list prices for the cars and options have been out for a while, Alphabet, BMWs leasing arm in the UK still haven't sorted the prices for the options yet!

On the up side, the dealer has a build slot reserved for me in week 30. But that still seems like a very long time away!!!

If you get a build slot for week 30, the car should be ready for delivery in Week 33.

From what I have gleaned on the forums is that its better to wait a couple of weeks (and get a mid-late July build) each year. BMW shuts down for the holiday period; and there are horror stories about cars which have been built in 1st week of manufacturing start (guess, even the Germans are human after all) and with a new model, things can be a bit iffy.

Week 30 is a good choice; a couple of weeks delay is good... plus it builds up the anticipation
