It all depends on your dealers allocation. I bought mine through John Clark, Dundee. They had two slots to fill for 535d at the end of October; delivery first week December. I was told that because of the new ordering system cars can be 'specked' much later allowing customers quicker delivery times.
I suppose it makes sense. Dunedin, Edinburgh had a sport sitting in the window - if you don't want to wait at all.
I think all the dealers are keen at the moment to shift E60's .....A few Christmas bonuses to get

in order to get the exact spec you have to order and wait
i ordered sept 3 week 36 i think i am correct in saying that production only started week 40 due delivery next week i am in no hurry as where i live it is important (effects residual value) to have the car year 2005 not 2004
so going on road at 1 min past midnight on 1st jan 2005
hope this helps
