The wait for the x20i is ridiculous compared to the x20d...
I know I'm being quoted mid to late June on a new order! My theory is that all the issues around diesels and the fact that they are considering increasing taxation on diesels is bringing buyers back to petrol. People like me who have not owned a petrol car for many years are now jumping ship. I was always aware of the benefits of diesel v petrol but liked the torque that the diesel provides. However modern turbo charged petrol cars have closed that gap.

I think that this has potentially caught BMW out a little with the extra demand, this forum alone has evidenced the fact that there seems to be a shift in buying attitudes.
