Just sent an email to my sales guy to inform again but he's not in today. If they dare to change it again I will cancel my order.

Good luck with the wait. It's worth it. No other faster options anyway. Unless you find a used one? Even switching to other brands is not an option. Waiting times are long for PHEV and the 45e still is the only real good one. |

I will not cancel, I have my current car which is worth nothing second hand so I'm not pressured to sell it or look into any other options.
It's frustrating to see people ordering 5 months after me and getting the car before me. No blame to them naturally, they are lucky, but it's just not very logical. I get no decent explanation why they have this big postponement. The only indication I get is my individual configuration. But as the car was going to production w15, I assume all the parts were ready, so why do they need to postpone so far? Even many here have individual configurations also and don't get postponed this far it seems. Nothing to do but wait, and it helps a bit to see here that I'm not the only one in this tormenting wait :-) |

They are offering a 120k car with 8000km's for 100k. That 120k gross without the usual 10% discount so in the end it is 7% off for 8000km (test car probably so not gently driven). Not a deal I would take. In comparison, my current 5 series was a premium selection with 8190km (German factory employee car), new price 74k and got it for 40k. |

I selected the one I wanted in a list with the color, engine and options I wanted. 6 months old, less than 10.000 km and 25.000 euro under the new price. The dealer in Gent bought it for me in Germany and gave the guarantees. Had it two weeks later. Thing is there are way more 5 series's than x5's to chose from. You are correct I would only a 45e from a official dealer. If you don't get 4y you could also sign in for the maintenance program. It's quite expensive but then your also covered for all repairs for 4y. That's what I did with the 40e. |

The one in Antwerp has all the options I have but I have 20 inch wheels. My new price without discount wasn't 120k more around 110k. I think the price they are showing is the one without discount for the different packages. So at the end it would only be a discount of a couple thousend compared to a new one. Not a good deal at all indeed. But otherwise great configuration. Let's hope for you guys the wait will end and still changing. |

The maintenance I don't really care about, I don't do enough kilometers to gain something, I only like to have full warranty for 5 years.

I now do my renting with KBC and I also took maintaince / repair program for the renting time (4 years). It is at half the price that Bmw offers the same service. The renting it self is also a better deal. Renting offered by BMW is usually not the best deal if you start comparing. They tend to have a large first and last payment which makes the monthly price go down a lot. All BMW PHEV have the battery warranty mentioned by HeavyD. So that's covers separately. But if a laser light stops working you will be happy if it is somehow covered. |

My contract included that they take it back after 4 years for 30% but I can try to sell it myself. So if the market is bad for this kind of car I am not stuck with it. With the maintance en repair contract for 4 years I am also sure I won't have any surprises. Others have higher rest values but won't take the car back so you have to buy it your self at that price and can sell it your self. |

For my next car I will also ask my bank for a renting price. I also have a residual value of 30% and I don't have to buy the car at the end. |
