I got just over £1500 off.
When I went to do the deal, 2 specific online brokers were offering discounts which I showed to my local dealer. I didn't expect them to match the prices but they went some way towards it and I thought they were really fair. |

Got (bad) news regarding the delivery:
It was supposed to happen last week of December but was postponed to mid-February (not a big surprise). The given reason was: "delays related to the diesel engine". Series 2 with the same engine also are delayed, dealer told. The order was placed early/mid October. |

Are you in Europe or the US? My understanding is they have factories in both sides of the Atlantic.

In the good old UK. My understanding is that all of the X1's are built in Munich these days.

Well had a call from dealer today, states the car should be with them by Friday. They are aiming to get it ready by Tuesday or Wednesday next week, just in time for Christmas!!

Update: now for delivery to dealer week 53. BMW UK have offered to reduce the list price by £500. I asked my dealer to match this on the proviso that the car was registered in 2015 but they have refused. I have asked them to therefore delay the registration until 2016 but not sure I have the right to do so. Any thoughts?

I wonder what would happen if you were away after Christmas for a couple of days and the dealer couldn't contact you?
I can't help wondering if they are allowed to register it in your name without you signing something? Don't take this as factual because I really don't know. Does anyone else?

Update - My car is now in the UK and set for delivery to the dealer next week. Dealer is REALLY keen for it to be registered this year and as such they have offered a £700 discount to make this happen.
Whilst it's not as much as i'd like, it's an offer i've accepted. Will post some pictures when the car arrives. |

Looks like delivery next week. Dealer needs it this year for his targets so I think they'll get the car here if they have to go and collect it themselves. They've even offered to delivery it to the house if I can't get to them!
The other bonus is they've reduced the cost of the gap insurance and also reduced the finance rate so whilst the car is over 2 months late, it's saved me a large wedge of money. Fingers crossed for next week. |

Well Tuesday arrived quickly, got my X1, so manufacturing delays appear to be resolved. Dealer actually took delivery a day earlier than they expected it. Less than 8 weeks from order to delivery. Well happy with my choice of spec and colour. Will do a post with pictures and spec in time.

Congratulations! Please post pictures when you have the time.
Only 8 weeks? That is amazing! Most of us are waiting much more than that. What is your configuration? |

Finally picked mine up yesterday (ordered July 6, due Oct 24, delivered Dec 22). Very pleased with it, especially the very comfortable ride which the electronic damper control is probably contributing to. Will get to work on BMW UK after Christmas in expectation of a substantial goodwill gesture to make up for all the anguish.

Picked up the the new car this morning. Only 5 miles under my belt driving it home but first impressions are good. Just as I'd hoped.
Petrol engine is quiet and drives really nicely. 19" wheels drive fine. Look awesome. |
