I thought - and I hope other do too - that it would be helpful to have a consolidated list of when people are expecting their cars.

For me, I am especially interested in UK dates as I want to see how my dealer is performing against others, but it would be great to see some final dates now that we are getting close :1:


Currently mine is scheduled for August 2 (1st customer car from Sytners in London)

John Clark BMW in Aberdeen have the demo coming in April, car no.2 is the 1st customer car coming August, and 3rd and last car for 2005 is due December, they apparently have 14 people waiting on the order list.

My own car is coming from Grassick's BMW Perth and is due mid 2006, was ordered March 2003.

Cheers,
David.

A number of UK cars are being delivered to owners on May 19th. They will be at the dealers before then but cannot be released sooner as May 19th is the official UK launch date (right Adam?).

I'm getting my car from Belgium. It would have been sooner but since I'm getting some "BMW Individual" options the delivery has been put back until June 24th - I can't wait lovelove

I think that my dad will get his car in the beginning of July

Thanks Ashok. The official date is still May 19th as at yesterday anyway...

Are the cars being delivered at launch ones that would have been demos? Or are they actual customer cars with the dealer still having a demo?

 

[Ashok Arora]

A bit of both but mostly demos.

My dealer is getting their demo car in May and mine (first Customer car) is a June build and so should arrive sometime in July. If it arrives at the end of July I will not take delivery until September as I am on holiday for three weeks in August.

May 19th but arrives late april, but am not allowed to register it(which is wholly fair)

(And RHD cars are in the country, just saw one at the GT4 launch party in Sapphire black metallic, and it is gorgeous...)

Adam,
Do you at least get to take delivery of the keys so you can LOCK the car on their property to keep them from allowing every Tom, Dick, and Harry from drooling on your new leather? Heaven forbid some smoker sits in your car and stinks it up

 

[Adam]

Thats a very good point Jeff, cheers :cheers:

all the best

Has anyone seen the interior of a rhd yet? If so are the buttons around the gear lever scattered around like in the pics so far or neatly arranged like on the lhd version?

BMW showed a RHD M5 for the first time in public in Australian Auto Show, and you can find the pictures here.

and for your interest, the buttons are "around the gear lever scattered around like in the pics"

:blink:

Thanks - I saw those pics - hoping they were pre-production!

Can't see the link - what will it look like?

Thanks!

Thanks for all the info...looking forward to May 19th - will be interesting to see how many demos actually go to customers...:1:

My dealer emailed me yesterday. My car (no. 2 on their list) will apprently be here in 2006. Most disappointing as he had previously led me to believe it would be here over the summer... However, he will have their demo for sale in September (Silverstone/Silverstone/Alu, full Merino leather, TV, reflective glass, Logic 7, Bluetooth). They will offer it for list (circa GBP71,000). Given it's not that much earlier, I don't fancy the Silvertone leather, and the fact that it will be offered at list (after all those LCs!) I have not yet made my mind up whether to take it. Let me know if anyone is interested, and I can pass on details.

It's quite funny. Denmark (very high taxes, 180% on cars) only gets 10 M5's total. My dad called BMW a week ago to ask if they had any cars. The bmw guy said he had a car for June 2005(!!!!!), that wasn't sold yet.
