Hi all,

I've joined this forum this week as I've placed an order for a new X5. I've been told to expect a 14-16 week wait. Is this the norm? Not a lot I can do, but wondering (hoping) BMW under promise and over deliver on time scales...

Wow you very much are excited aren't you?! ^_^

I'm not to sure but, I'm sure someone on here will be able to give you a good answer. I favor older cars (Not even a wiggle down there for 90's+ cars) so, I don't think I'll ever have the experience you're having :P

Keep us posted on the status

Cheers Daz! Yes I'm really looking forward to getting my new motor and hoping it will arrive before I go down to Cornwall in May but probably pushing my luck 😊

I'm not 100% sure but I think the 'under promise over deliver' tactic is one many companies use these days. I wouldn't hold your breath but you never know I guess!

Hi Jenny,

Another newbie here - having placed an order for an X5 30d M Sport in the middle of January. At the time of order we were talking about March/April delivery - but I have since been informed that is more likely to be May - so that is approx. 16 weeks.

Disappointing but bearing in mind it is a new model and being built in USA - I guess it takes a while to build up the UK dealer inventory.

Can't wait to get my hands on it - I'll just have to learn to be patient - not one of my strong points tbh :-)

Hi there. Another newbie. I have a new X5 40d on order since March and have been told yesterday to expect mid July delivery. It might have something to do with an unusual engine however...............

Hi - sorry for the delay... My BMW dealer informed me that my delivery date has slipped from May 26th to June 16th now. No explanation other than 'production delay' :angry: .

Well, I suspect that a righthand drive market could be in some difficulties as far as a delivery game is concered.........I´m currently evaluating a head-up display option.......anyone with experience?

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave

      Water leak at sharkfin aerial

      Morning Vic New one to me but I guess anywhere there is a joint is suspect. Like the seals around the rear lights that suddenly start to leak, removing them a good clean and renewing the seals seems to work. Check www.realoem.com to see what is fitted and how Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Morning Billy When was the car last serviced ? The symptoms you describe could be due to an air or vacuum leak, old hoses seals and vacuum lines can start to crack when cold they are stiff and don't leak (as much) when hot and flexible you see the issue developing. Your OBD Scanner needs to be BMW capable a standard scanner will only see critical functions. Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?
