I ordered a loaded 550i. It went from On Order to Schedule for Production. Any idea how long they typically stay in this status?

Lucky you!

The wait will be too long anyway.

The spring is a hasty era at the Dingolfing plant in Germany.
So many MY '06 5- , 6- and 7-series cars to do...

Please let us atleast know the int and ext colour and some details.
Auto or not?


PS. The BMW Ag stock is at XETRA now worth ? 45,57 and rizing.

Some call the Finnish F1 drivers Mika H?kkinen and Kimi R?ikk?nen the Icemen.

Maybe you should learn something about their real calm(cool)ness.

You'r really fine car will come soon, hang in there!

are you sure that is because of their calm-cool-ness or because of the Finland icy weather?
