Just bite the bullet, it's more than worth it,
switching from a run down A4 to a brand new E60 should not be a dillema

Bad news today. My new E60 has arrived today at the dealer - 5 weeks before I wanted it or when the dealer was supposed to get me it!!!
To get it now, I would have to pay the last month of my Audi lease and the first month of the E60 lease in April - my Audi should go back in may.
Is it worth ?400 to get it now????
Or should I let the dealer polish it for the next 5 weeks

How come its only taken 6 weeks, was it a factory order to your own spec?
I am desparate to get mine as I sold my last car about 4 weeks ago and I am having to borrow pool cars from work at the moment. (Having said that the 2002 325i I have got at the moment is great despite having done 100K Miles
)I dont think I will see mine until mid to late May which is about 10 weeks from order.

Contract was for May delivery - dealer has accepted he got it too early.
He has accepted he will keep it till may - now I know its here - I WANT IT NOW

And make sure when you do take delivery in May, that there are no additional miles on the car!

My 520D M-sport was ordered 20.01.2006 - promised available for collection date at order 20.03.2006 delivered at dealer 29.03.2006 - available for collection at 31.03.2006. all still very much within reason.
Perhaps certain options cause longer lead times, any insights on this ??
