I just ordered my 530i and I'm not gonna get it until early September ! I just can't wait!!!!
Congrats, but that's not really a waiting list. That's a pretty standard delivery time for a car being built to your specific order. I've bought 3 new german cars, and my wife 2 new german cars, and all 5 of them took 3 months to arrive.

I bought my old three series new and the 5er new...ordered the 325is in June 93, picked up in October 93; ordered the 5er in May 06, delivered in Sep 06. In both cases, about 3 1/2 months. But worth the wait!

thats why i always buy used now. No wait, cheaper, and definitely can find the one with the options I want, the color I want instantly.
the way a cars value depreciates its almost foolish to buy a car new.

I lease because I beat the living crap out of my cars. Screaming around the twisties in M2 with the skid control light going off like a Christmas tree and the revs up at 6000 does not make for long engine or transmission life. I don't want to live with the consequences of that when the car gets to high miles.

And to me, there is nothing like being the first one to own/lease a car. I love new cars.

Honestly, is that really necessary? I don't think a forum devoted to luxury cars needs some know it all telling them tidbits of condescending advice.

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!!!!
7 weeks for my 08 535xi. Ordered it September of 07, arrived end of November.

No waiting. Since I usually buy cars with basic options only there is always one in stock or in transit that matches my requirements. I had to wait for 10 months for MB E55 in 2000 though; did not like that car anyway.
