UK: Build to delivery duration during Covid
All,
I'm patiently awaiting my X5 40d which started build on 18th June. Anyone had a UK delivery recently following the plant shut down? If so, how long was delivery from the build date? Trying to coordinate my current car hand back to roughly overlap with delivery. Thanks MP |

You shouldn’t be too delayed mate. I ordered mine in Jan for May delivery then lockdown happened. Car shipped fine from the States but was held in U.K. port for 5 weeks due to no transporters (ironically first car in ten years that arrived early). Had my car inside a week of dealers reopening.
Now that U.K. is open on all fronts I doubt you’ll see any delay on what your dealer is forecasting unless there are issues at plant in Spartanburg. |

I ordered my G06 on 14th March, as of 8th July its on 5300 Pre Assembly Start.
The system says its Production week 28-07-2020 (Production week 28, Month July) Expected week 35-08-2020 (Production week 35, Month August) They're expecting delivery in 3rd/4th week of August so I wont be picking it up till after 1st Sepetmber rolls round, but thats the expected timeline. Hope that helps.

I was talking to my dealer yesterday buying a 5 series for my folks and they said German built cars are an issue but the US ones don’t seem to have been affected yet. |

Yep use the web chat facility which pops up when you start to configure a build online. It doesn't work on mobile devices so you need to use a computer. You need your order number or vin number which your dealer can give you and ask for a update on the status of your order... production status code. Once production starts it only takes one day for the body to be built and painted and next day goes down the assembly line. Once it leaves the factory it usually gets to Charlestown the same day and then will be on the next ship there are about 3 per week. Ships take different times to reach Bremerhaven depending on how many stops they make. It will be offloaded in Bremerhaven and will then ship 2 or 3 days later to Southampton. Status can change several times during a day so keep pestering the genius web chat team. You can track the ships too.

I don't mean to worry you mate but not giving you a provisional delivery date or an order number, not being able to give you an update from their own system and saying don't use the online Genius suggests to me they are hiding something and maybe don't have an allocated build slot. There is no reason why they can't provide the info to you (btw your order number should also be on your confirmation paperwork). |

In the meantime put a rocket up your dealer as it's frankly disgraceful not giving you an order number when you're dropping £70k + with them ffs! |

I'm lusting a bit for the 40d! Wish it had been available back last September!
