ordered a 535i at the end of last month. It completed production after a week (as per the BMW owner's circle.) For the past 10 days it has been sitting on a wharf in Germany awaiting transport. Any experience out there regarding how long it usually takes to get shipped. I was told to expect 8 weeks for delivery, but the time table I was given assumed a longer period to build the car. I'm thinking of hopping a plane to Germany, but the family and work would not be pleased......
I ordered my 535 about the same time you did. Mine is similarly built and waiting for transport. My dealer told me that at this point the on-line information is incorrect and can lag by a week or two and to just ignore it. He went on to tell me the car should arrive here by about 7/25 and that it could be at the dealer by the very end of the month.
Well, time will tell, who or what to believe. Keep us informed and I'll do the same.

Had a similar experience - the key dates to keep in the back of your mind is the 8 weeks - ugh...as Owner's Circle does a great job of building anticipation - hint, hint, hint! I checked my car's status every day as I was awaiting and being in the manufacturing/production field, I am not surprised that certain segments were completed ahead of a proposed date and this is all part of managing the flow. Ideally, the car would go from parts to assembly line to boat to port to ground transport to dealer to you - without any breaks. However, it is not feasible to send a ship loaded with only one car. I received mine ahead of the expected delivery date and although I would wanted to have it sooner (since BMW was exceeding expectations at almost every step) I was still excited to receive the call advising it is in and ready for pickup.

I ordered my 2008 535i in mid April. I took delivery on June 5th, or about 7 weeks from order to delivery. That's about average, since I've ordered 3 5 series cars in the past 4 years, and each of them took about 7 weeks.

I heard from my dealer that the car left Germany on the 17th and is expected to arrive in the U.S. on the 5th. He anticipated that it would arrive at the dealer on the 15th, which is 6-7 weeks after it was ordered. We'll see.

Is my dealer quoting me good rates on my 2008 528i?

MSRP - $51,660
Cap Cost (claims $500 over invoice) - $49,625
quoting 60% residual on 36 month lease 15k miles
MF .0022 (5.28%)
I am an existing BWM 3-Series lessee with BMWFS and I think the money factor quoted is way too high. Can anyone confirm that BMW is offering 3.9% (MF .001625) for existing customers on the 528i series 36 month lease in July. Am I getting hosed?
Chapman BMW in Phoenix Arizona is my dealer

I ordered my 535xi on June 29. My dealer just told me it shipped on July 23 and is scheduled to arrive August 11. It supposedly take another 7-10 days to get to the dealer. That would be just over 7 weeks.

Heard from my dealer that my 535 (ordered 6/13) is now in L.A. and will be at the dealer early next week. Unfortunately with my current lease being up on 8/23, I don't want to turn it it THAT early, so I'll probably wait until 8/6 to pick it up.
What would others do with this "dilemma"?
