New X5 On Order

[Jenny P]

Hi all,

I've joined this forum this week as I've placed an order for a new X5. I've been told to expect a 14-16 week wait. Is this the norm? Not a lot I can do, but wondering (hoping) BMW under promise and over deliver on time scales...

Wow you very much are excited aren't you?! ^_^

I'm not to sure but, I'm sure someone on here will be able to give you a good answer. I favor older cars (Not even a wiggle down there for 90's+ cars) so, I don't think I'll ever have the experience you're having :P

Keep us posted on the status

Cheers Daz! Yes I'm really looking forward to getting my new motor and hoping it will arrive before I go down to Cornwall in May but probably pushing my luck 😊

I'm not 100% sure but I think the 'under promise over deliver' tactic is one many companies use these days. I wouldn't hold your breath but you never know I guess!

Hi Jenny,

Another newbie here - having placed an order for an X5 30d M Sport in the middle of January. At the time of order we were talking about March/April delivery - but I have since been informed that is more likely to be May - so that is approx. 16 weeks.

Disappointing but bearing in mind it is a new model and being built in USA - I guess it takes a while to build up the UK dealer inventory.

Can't wait to get my hands on it - I'll just have to learn to be patient - not one of my strong points tbh :-)

Hi there. Another newbie. I have a new X5 40d on order since March and have been told yesterday to expect mid July delivery. It might have something to do with an unusual engine however...............

Hi - sorry for the delay... My BMW dealer informed me that my delivery date has slipped from May 26th to June 16th now. No explanation other than 'production delay' :angry: .

Hi Jenny, welcome to the club. Look on the bright side, it'll be worth the wait I'm sure. ;-)

Hello,

I've just ordered an X5 3.0d MSport and have been advised that I should receive it by November!

Well, I suspect that a righthand drive market could be in some difficulties as far as a delivery game is concered.........I´m currently evaluating a head-up display option.......anyone with experience?

[Olda]

A new X5 XDrive40d finally sits in my garage! Deliverd on 29July. White and beautiful! Head up display is great! Highly recommended.

Sounds fab!!! I got mine on 20th June and i'm a very happy camper!
