I ordered on Thursday in UK and got an estimated delivery of 15th April. Will have to wait and see when the production is scheduled for... hopefully in March when the new updates hit the production line.

Spoke to my dealer yesterday about my F11 520d sport touring that i ordered just before xmas as I wanted to add option 6nr (BMW connected) to allow full iphone integration etc.

He checked with BMW and my car was status 1100 ( ie still spec amendable) and scheduled for build week 6 (mid Feb).

So I can add option 6nr but this will mean I have to delay build to build week 9 which is when all the updates come on stream tom the production line and will also mean my delivery will be delayed until April 24th.

He did mention that by delaying to week 9 I may also get stop start on my auto box and extended black panel plus other 2011 updates.

So i have decided to add 6nr (£130) and wait longer (delivery would have been March 15th).

I've emailed my dealer and asked them about it. I'm waiting for confirmation of the build week at the moment, so will def tell them to move it back if necessary.

I'm guessing we are getting to the point where Anything ordered will fall into week 9/10 anyway.

1970jon - how did your dealer know to charge £130?

Sad thing is.. changes arent that great - and the continental driving switch would actually have been useful!!!

1970jon - you're a diamond!

You spurred me on to find all the info sheets from BMW. My new car is going to be built week 10 and so hits the production line after the week 9 changes. I've successfully added 6NR to my build @ £130.

Well done....for £130 and a bit more wait it was a no brainer really....just wish BMW dealers knew their products....all this info was available when I ordered my car (late Dec) but nothing was 'mentioned' by them about updates etc.

Without a bit of research and forum chat doubt we would have been able to add 6nr/ plus any other updates etc that come with week 9 builds.

Thank god for the Internet!

Good luck with your car make sure you post pics.....mine was due 15th March but now mid/end April but at least I will be BMW Connected!!!!

I didn't have to wait longer, as last week's order ended up a week 10 anyway. Looks like we might be getting build and delivery around the same times? Makes me wonder if they shifted everything to week 9 or later, and I guess the bad weather in Germany and the holiday prior shut down left a backlog of production which caused this anyway?

If only they do auto/stop start auto boxes at the same time. Too much to hope for!

Hi

I too ordered an F10 SE which is supposed to be ready by end March 2011. The dealer salesman made no reference at all to these spec updates.

Anybody got any opinions about the variable dampers - I didn't order it but am now wondering if I've made a big mistake.

Update - I'm still down for week 10 build (week commencing 7th March) but collecion date now estimated for 6th April. That will have been 12 weeks exactly from placing order to collecting the car.

Are the build weeks different for the UK? I am being told build week 10 begins the week of February 28?

BMW factories (certainly ones in the EU) operate to ISO 8601 week numbers. Week 1 is the first week of the calendar year to have a Thursday in it, and weeks start on a Monday. ISO week 10 in 2011 is week commencing Monday 7th March.

Your dealer must be confused or using a different week referencing system to what BMW operates to.

Titanflux......any update on your build week/delivery etc. My dealer is useless and does not get back to me at all since I 'delayed' it to add 6NR. He mentioned build week 10/11 which I think is mid March so I estimate actual delivey to UK will be mid April. I know that we both were pretty much on the same schedule so be interested to hear if you have had any updates etc.

To be honest I am thinking twice now as to why I delayed it to add 6NR as not too sure that facebook and twitter in car will be of great benefit?.....if I had just left it the car would have been built week 6 and probably almost ready for me to collect!!...oh well just have to grin and bear it!

My delivery date hasnt moved one bit since i was given it ... but have read loads of folks getting their cars 2 weeks early - which i hope is the case for me.

Should be 2 months today... 2 whole long months... god damn.

No change to my build week of 7th March. I ordered 17th Jan and added 6NR 3 days later without a problem.

Estimated delivery was 14th April, but was brought forward a few weeks ago to 6th April, but told it may be a week earlier. Build week still the same (week 10).

I get an email update from the dealer every 2-3 weeks or at any time there's a change in status. They can see BMWs systems for status I information whenever they want.

If you are not getting this, it's pretty poor service. They can easily find out exactly when it's being built and therefore estimate the delivery date. If this isn't forthcoming then you should demand it.
