My Ride: 2002 BMW 530i - Silver
2008 BMW X5 xDrive 30d - Black
2007 Audi TT 3.2 Quattro - Silver
I just ordered my 530i and I'm not gonna get it until early September 
! They said lots of people juts order 5ers. I think particularly those 520ds. I see lots of them near my kids' schools. Or maybe because I live in the place where those corrupt politicians live. We saw one politician that was in a black 520i between 2 black Nissan Patrols. My wife told me it was just a senator 
. I just can't wait!!!!

You're getting close to the factory shutdown for the model year switchover. Orders placed this time of year will always be pushed out longer than normal.

I wonder when e60 production will cease, don't they stop production for part of the year as well anyway?

My Ride: See my signature
I had no wait. I bought my 550 from dealer stock at Circle BMW in Eatontown. Although 550s are very very rare on dealer lots compared to 528s and 535s, they can be found.
