New F10 order placed today
Have ordered today - waiting for a confirmed date for delivery but looking like early to mid April. A long time to wait!
Spec: 520d SE AUTO in black sapphire with black Dakota leather Smokers package deletion Model designation deletion Visibility pack DAB Metallic paint Sports auto gearbox Ambient lighting Professional media pack Sun protection glass Windscreen grey shade band Telephone USB audio Professional loudspeaker Sport steering wheel Sport seats 18" wheels style 328 High gloss shadowline Airconditioning extended I thought long and hard about VDC, but had an excellent test drive in a non-VDC model on the same wheels. Very happy with it. Added to that I will be getting the sports auto upgrade, which should make things even better. Does anyone know how to track orders from the UK? I can only see details for USA.... I assume what happens now is that a production week is assigned ?

Was at BMW today having a test drive in a 520d - sadly was only a manual.
Going to order this week i think.... Cos its a company car its pretty poverty spec compared to most, only adding: Sports Auto Sports Wheel BMW business. already sourced some new wheels for it privately ... They were quoting 14 weeks delivery.

"Does anyone know how to track orders from the UK?"
Hey nice to see somebody else from the great city of Mcr! Mine due 1st week of March and I'm jealous as it's not as well specced as yours. My dealer informed me it couldn't be tracked online, he will keep me informed. He says? The waiting is horrendous as I've not had a premium car before and I can't wait. Where are you in Mcr? I'm in Cheadle Hulme. |

The wait will be terrible. For new cars before the most I have waited is 3 weeks because they've been in stock. I guess that's what I get for a complicated spec!

Jet Black and Oyster / Black , got a 2 year old as well, don't worry leather wipes clean, go for It.
I've got a rugby playing 9 yr old and bottled it! Therefore black interior, ambient lighting will cheer it up some! |

Just put the order into the leasing company .. kept umming and ahhing .. adding things that 'only costs an extra £7 a month' ... then thought 'sod it.. company car' so went back to basics!!
Ambient light was gorgeous on my 335d against the red leather. Went Oyster/Black in the end... he can just drink water instead! On a plus side..i have managed to source some 331 alloys .... think shod with normal rubber they going to be rather nice!
