What was your delivery time?

vladipachirisu · 06-16-2023, 10:29 AM

I'm looking to buy a RWD M240i in the next couple of weeks, and being from Europe there aren't any on the lot so I will have to order one.

How much did it take for your car to arrive after it was ordered?

Looking for answers from Europe mostly, but US and any other inputs are welcome.

LivingInSalt · 06-16-2023, 10:31 AM

I drove home with mine 105 days after placing my order. I'm in the US

For mine i waited 8 months, and the dealer said i was lucky, could have been much longer

In the United States and have waited just over (6) months.

silvaquas · 06-16-2023, 01:33 PM

Ordered mine April of 2022. It's currently in "Quality Check"...

Looking at ~15+ months from start to finish.

It's been a painful experience...

I ordered 218i M Sport 3 weeks ago from Slovenia. Dealer told me it will come in 5 to 6 montth and that he will notify me when he will have some info. To this day I didn't receive any info, so I guess production still didn't start.

netgear · 06-16-2023, 02:52 PM

Also my advice is to order your car as soon as possible, because the delivery time is long

Pentland · 06-17-2023, 05:25 AM

6 weeks. Go on line and look at the new car locator section. There will be incoming cars, pick one that meets or beats your spec.

cennis · 06-17-2023, 08:46 AM

I was only a little over three months, dealer seemed interested in getting me a car and traded for an allocation almost immediately after I ordered.

MPR · 06-17-2023, 10:15 PM

Ordered April 4 picked up September 21.

M240KCMO · 06-18-2023, 03:16 AM

Ordered October 31st delivered March 28th
US RWD M240

Hanzos_BMW · 06-18-2023, 06:40 PM

Ordered March 10th. Picked it up June 2nd

Houdre · 06-19-2023, 05:40 AM

Ordered mine in February this year (Slovenia) and they said 4-6 months waiting time.
It all depends on dealer allocations. Mine said that they should hopefully get one in July and with the car being made in Mexico, it will probably be delivered sometimes in October/November I guess...

I'm glad that I am not only one that ordered car from Slovenia

What model did you order and which dealer did you choose? I ordered 218i M sport at Selmar Celje. How did you follow your car status?

The one OP is asking about. They (Wallis Ljubljana) got an allocation for x-drive variant in June, so one lucky guy/gal will probably get it the same time as I will.

danallxt · 06-20-2023, 08:18 PM

2 months and 7 days

I think that if you get your M240 in less than 6 months in EU, you can be considered very, very lucky. I doubt any dealer has cars already on the lot. Shipping cars across the Atlantic takes a while + distribution across the EU to your country so that increases the delivery at least by a month if not more.

dy444 · 06-22-2023, 05:06 AM

Mine took just under 8 months to get to the dealer, including 3 months transporting it here from Mexico.

<Sarcasm>
To be fair I do live in London which is a very small out of the way place 70 miles from the docks so the logistics of transporting things here is immensely difficult. Plus there are only about 20 BMW dealers within 25 miles of my house so clearly they hardly sell any cars at all around here which explains why we are such a low priority in the logistics pecking order.

</Sarcasm>

Houdre · 06-22-2023, 05:35 AM

Damn, I feel for you :/

Spring 2024 for me then :')

harcos · 06-22-2023, 08:04 AM

9 and a half months
June on order (January 2022) then August.
But I think he was stuck for 2 and a half months at the exit port (Zeebrugge) because of "transport problems"

There are several brand new cars at dealers in the UK.
