Any UK Deliveries Yet?
Hi All
Mine has left the factory and should be on a boat end of this week/beginning of next. I have noticed some available for more or less immediate collection in the UK and was wondering if anyone on here has collected theirs? Thanks! |

In fact I haven't been able to place an order as the Laser Light option isn't available for UK until April builds, which are not yet released to dealers.
What spec have you gone for? |

That will be interesting to know as my 8 Series (same i Drive) arrived weeks ago having been built in Germany early Nov, but now it is delayed at BMW Thorne Delivery Centre waiting a major update for i Drive 7. Forecast late Jan for delivery.

Mine has left the factory since the 28 Dec. But no further update. Is it possible to find the boat that it will be on? Will my local dealer have this information to hand ?

Interesting. My local dealer's demo had the laser light option fitted. (Dick Lovett Bristol)

nk - we might be neighbours and boat buddies (this is not really a thing) - mine had similar timing so let's see.
40i with every package apart from heating (happy to spend £100 on steering wheel but I just could not bring myself to spend £350 on heated elbows and forearms when I don't drive in a t-shirt in the winter...) Laser lights and third row included - got in on both before the stock restrictions I guess? Saw Sytner Wycombe has a blue M50D with the Ivory interior. If I didn't need 7 seats/have kids that would ruin the seats overnight, I would be tempted. Another bad experience there, "do you have the new X5 in a seven seater (knowing from you they did) - erm go upstairs and look in the used section." Good servicing department but given up on sales! |

Seems excessive it take 7 weeks to ship to Ireland based on my previous F15 orders. Also while the Production Week didn't slip the Delivery Week has from Week 4 to Week 8. |

Are you sure about laser lights? I’ve just placed an order for a March delivery with laser lights included?

Hi all. Would you mind telling me which UK dealers been able to place G05 orders with Laserlights. I know some launch cars were spec'd this way, but the BMW bulletin I've seen says not orderable until week 14 builds

Surprised you can even order now for March, it says something like 24 weeks if you go to order online. I guess the dealer has a build slot.
Let's keep the UK thread going when deliveries arrive/UK specific issues, helpful to have in one place. |

Slots are open for end of January builds and February builds which should be delivery in April since it takes time to ship over to the UK. Online quote is worse case and doesn't factor dealer slots.

What I'm still not clear on is if the Driving Assistant Pro will come with the extended (hands off) TJA for that build date. Test drove one at the dealers which had the internal camera, and it required occasional hands-on, but I didn't get chance to test it on a motorway below 37mph. I guess as the camera will be supplied regardless, it should be possible to enable it via a software update either at the dealers or OTA. |

Eaglesrest and mge92 - thanks for your replies.
After a couple more calls, I've been told that it's just the X5 30D model which can't be ordered with Laserlights until an April build slot. So presumably you're getting either the 40i or 50D? |
