I have a spec changeable slot for delivery in late December / early Jan if you're interested ?
Just out of interest how long have you had the car on order?? The reason I ask is mine's been on order (with deposit) since summer 2009 and I've been told it will come in mid Feb!!! I specced mine up in September, do you think one of us is being told porkies??????Hi,
I wish I was posting to say I'd ordered one!
The last post is something that I and I guess others have suspected will be the case. Even the company directors and usual buyers - mostly who don't 'really' know what an M5 is aren't being allowed £85-90,000 cars to run these days. Of course, there will be still quite a few who are allowed to have them but I can't help feeling that when they're first spotted on UK roads, they'll be relatively few and far between.
Cheers, Dennis!

I have my name down for one at the local dealer. Just waiting to hear the final prices now.

Hi David, I only ordered in July this year and was top of the list at my dealer (with less than £1500 deposit!). Mines being built week 50 (just before Xmas!!). I think your dealer is having a laugh ? 
Not sure how many of these cars are on order and economic backdrop doesn't lend itself to big expensive cars.
That said, I've been told the m5 is being built to order so hopefully limited risk of BMW pumping cars into dealers that are then sold off cheaply, depressing residuals (more than usual depreciation).

Hi Kananga,Mine is for build week 48 or 50!! Can't remember exactly what he showed me, but he said by the time it gets to the dealer I would be looking at the end of Jan, is your dealer saying that build week 50 is when it arrives? From my understanding the build week is exactly that then its has to be checked then shipped etc, with the car plants "christmas shut downs" which are usually 2 weeks this would put my dealers delivery date about right?? To be honest though if it gets here then I will wait till the 1st of March for the new reg. In regards to spec it's very easy to load it up, someone said earlier in the thread there is a delay for piano black trim, I wasn't told that at all just would be a delay if I went for a individual colour.....
