UK Delivery Date for F10/F11 LCI
Has anyone got a confirmed UK delivery date for their F10/F11 LCI? I have not heard anything from my dealer and I ordered on 25th May!

My f10 LCI is in the uk and they tell me I could have it next week, however I've asked them to hold it until the 63 plate comes out on the 1st September. Mine is being delivered to me on Friday 30th August on the proviso that is not driven until Sunday the 1st September.
I had a week 30 build slot. What week was your build slot Nick? |

What a coincidence. The dealer rang me late this afternoon and my F10 LCI will be delivered to the dealership next week. I will take delivery on 1st September ... like immx I wanted the 63 plate.

great news! Don't forget the 1st September is a Sunday, hence they are delivering mine on the Friday, mine is a business lease and the corporate sales are not there on a Sunday.

Same here... Ordered my car on 25 May. I specifically wanted a July build (giving the BMW engineers some recuperation time after their holiday break !)...
Coming to the dealership either this Friday or early next week. I am however, holding it off until Sep for the 63 plate. Can't wait...

I had to sign and send back the declaration that the car won't be used on the road until the 1st of September today, I was surprised to see it already had the registration number on!

I ordered my at the end of my via a lease company. Originally they told me delivery would be late September, but after reading the posts above I will contact them on Monday and find out what is happening.
I don't care about number plates - just want the car delivered asp. |

FYI mine was finalised and signed on 17/06/13, BUT the dealer already had a week 30 build slot reserved for me as I'd gone to order a pre LCI and (very luckily) missed the factory cut off between pre LCI and post buy a day or so.
So then we had to wait for all the spec and pricing to come out before we could hammer out the deal. So thank god the dealer held the build slot of me! |

Rang my lease company last week. My car is not in the UK yet despite ordering it in May, and they are only expecting it early September. Feels like a very long wait.

Picked the car up yesterday as planned - overall very impressed with the drive and quality of build.
This is my 14th consecutive BMW so I know what to expect. I'll try and work out how to upload pictures later. The advance in technology is incredible, the speed of the iDrive and sat nav has come a long way - the clarity of the pro nav screen is excellent. I even like the new touchpad controller with handwriting recognition - what I thought would be a gimmick actually works really well, even as a right hander "writing" with my left. Drives exactly as I expected it to - m sport suspension - firm but not rock hard - steady round the twisties, not in the league of my outgoing E92 M3, but didn't want it to be. Power is more than sufficient and probably better for every day use than my old M's - do miss the sounds of an M though. The new M steering wheel is lovely, can't understand the complaints from our US cousins about it - I think it feels great and opens up the black panel display really well. Camera technology is great - good quality pictures and resolution - again another potential gimmick that's has exceeded my expectations. Same for HUD. I've not driven it at night yet so don't know what version of Adaptive lights and high beam assist are fitted - just the on/off ones or the clever version as seen on the 3 series - hope it's the latter. Overall I'm delighted - the cabin of a 5 series is a great place to spend your time. For those of you waiting, it's worth the wait. |

- Did you get the Xenons or the LED headlights? - Are the turn lights/ indicators (in the front main headlamp) halogen bulbs or LED? - What about the turn lights/ indicators at the rear? - Can you post a pic of the iDrive screen? How does it look with the two chrome strips? - Did you order 4-zone A/C or the standard 2-zone? Does your front Central Vent also have chrome strips? A picture would be nice. - What is your interior colour? Pictures of the exclusive stitching or did you order Exclusive Nappa, etc...?

The indicators on the F10, front and rear, have been LEDs since launch.
