You can still ask it now while you wait and ask BMW to cancel your finance. I think you have some credits. Finance didn't start yet

The only advantage that BMW could offer was takin it back ad the end of the lease. KBC would only do that if I signed an operational renting contract. I could chose what options I wanted to include. Insurance. Maintenance . Summer tires winter tires. Fuel. Insurance was 1K better deal with my own KBC broker so I did that. Winter tires were more expensive than buying them my self, so I bought them my self and can sell them afterwards.

45 euro ex btw a month for all maintenance and repair. With BMW it was more than 100

Renting contract is signed so I don't know if this can be cancelled.

The BMW renting contract was +/- 45 euro ex btw more expensive with maintenance and repair included. I found that a good deal because the BMW Serenity all inclusive maintenance and repair on my F16 30d was 100 euro a month.

I got one renting offer from my bank in July, already forgotten that , it was almost the same monthly fee as BMW but the residual value was lower. I didn't find that really important so I stayed with BMW. But for a next car it can interesting to get offers from different banks to compare.

Also in December they recalculated my renting contract with the autosalon conditions and the renting price dropped 40 euro ex btw per month.

I was referring to the serenity program indeed. That includes maintance and repair. So you are paying less than half the price when included in the renting. That's good for you.

If the residual value is lower with the bank and first payment is the same you are paying more with the bank.

Also depends on the bank. But I am quite happy with mine. The BMW dealer told me to ask the bank because their renting formulas were not very good.

I have a lot of products with my bank. So probably that will make a difference too. If you only have a renting contract prices will probably not be so good.

Meanwhile, mine still planned for W26 and is confirmed.
We will see in about 2,5 weeks what a confirmation is worth these days.

Just got told mine has finally arrived at the dealer! Praying I can collect this weekend.

So that's just over a month, I really don't see the problem.

Right, just over a month without being scheduled for production, so I project 2+ months at the minimum in total?

Scheduling is a bit difficult now but it will happen, otherwise contact your dealer for more info. He should know why you don't have a production slot yet.
In general US customers have about 3 month wait, us EU customer somewhere between 9 and 14 months.

Yes I completely understand the circumstances right now, so I expected delays, but I didn't think it would be this bad! In general, I've been told by dealers and brokers that custom builds take 4-6 weeks (pre-COVID). I presume this is faster than other models since the X-lines are built in South Carolina.

I'm delayed for 11 weeks extra because of Covid and i'm one of the lucky one's, others are delayed 20+ weeks. So that shows the amount of uncertainty there is at the moment, it's a lotterly now basically.

Thanks that's helpful. Since I ordered on April 30, I can expect delivery roughly 3 weeks later than your delivery date.

It's a European lottery. I don't see US orders pushed so far back.

Just an update:

Ironically my car was scheduled for production today. It took 36 days during COVID-19 to get it scheduled!

Ordered: 4/30/20
Scheduled for production: 6/4/20

If only I (any many others here) could complain about completely normal timings...

I had a phone call from my dealer yesterday to say that my X5 would be delivered to them next Tuesday, and I can collect it the day after.

It has been at Southampton docks since just before the UK lockdown in March.

[martin mustang]

Our order for e45 was in by Feb, our dealer still don't have any dates to when the car will be delivered, prior to the lockdown the expected delivery was Sep latest! What wories me is how if the our new car delivery is delayed to next year or close to end of this year, the dealer may want to revise the trading value of our exiting X5 40e. sure this should be BMW problem and not ours, it will be interesting if we end up with a worst trading value, specially as we alreay revised down the trading value of our X5 when the dealer realised the delivery was set for September.
Any one with similar experience, thanks for sharing.

[BryanC84]

Had a call from HJ yesterday. My car is at the dealer.
Going to view it today to make sure any known issues are not present and/or fixed at the first opportunity.

Brace yourselves for wrinklegate!
Also, not taking the car until the dealership arrange to have my charging point installed.

[Heavyd]

I called my dealer today and current status today is 153 assembly started. Hope it gets soon status 155
