The tests were done in Munich though, the high temperatures were there. One of the tests was from a magazine that I bought, the other is a youtube video. You can search "Razao Automovel BMW 330e". Both were very positive, they say the car is very fast, and feels very fast. They said that they surprised some real sports cars on the autobahn although limited to 230 kmh which it reaches easily... As I told they got 36 electric miles, 2 miles still available at the end of the test, did a total of 55 miles. Average 3.5 lt/100 kms, the throttle response is unbelievable. For me the only downside is the 40 liters fuel tank... |

Oh, turns out that the 10 days is from arrival in Southampton, not at the dealer. (Up to) 5 days to ship to dealer and (up to) 5 days for them to prep for delivery. |

The current status of your new BMW is 5100 "Bodyshop Start". Your new car will be progressing into production imminently. A chassis number has been allocated and your car is starting to take shape with all your chosen features and finishes. Based on your order date, the latest that your order will arrive will be the week commencing {16/09} Mind you last Monday it was:- Your new BMW has now reached the paint shop, where it will receive five separate layers of high-quality colour and finish that meet the exacting standards set by BMW. Based on your order date, the latest that your order will arrive will be the week commencing 16th September. So a week to paint it? Seem unlikely, will check with them again this Friday rather than Monday in case BMW Genius takes the Bank Holiday. |

They emailed me today to say ALD had asked them to process the order and gave me a delivery date to dealer of 21/10/19 (plus 1 week to prep and deliver to me). Mind you a colleague who's ordered the same car was quoted 18-20 weeks.....! |

Very true, I have been too and expect lots to order, although a few are holding out for the Touring 330e. The multitude of mainly positive reviews will have had an effect too.

@tricky6 you mentioned about tethered cable. I am actually also considering this.
Is there any company in particular you are looking at, are you applying for OLEV grant (500£) and can you apply for it if it's a company car? |

It cost £449 inc the £500 grant and £210 for a 10m bright orange cable which I'll take with me out and about. Unit should be fitted a week Friday, lead time for fitting is about 2 weeks. Arval will complete the paperwork for getting the grant/proof of order. My Arval order hasn't shown any updates since 17th July but I'm guessing their current delivery date of 30th Sept will be pretty much spot on. |

Latest update on my order from BMW Genius which gives me a feeling of deja by.
'At the moment, your BMW 330e M Sport has now reached the paint shop, where it will receive five separate layers of high-quality colour and finish that meet the exacting standards set by BMW.' This is exactly the same update that they gave last Monday 12th August, so 10 days being painted .......definitely hand painted 😳 Anyone know if this is usual or is the production line stopped for the summer? |

It says the BMW Group Plant will remain closed in the following time periods: 12/08/2019 - 23/8/2019 So nothing happening until after the 23rd, a shame the BMW Genius couldn't have said that. |

20 days sat waiting for shipping is a bit poor, wonder whether that's just because they don't want any cars "out to the public" before September? |

A helpful lease company, wow! ;-) So guess your code is 1100 which is order received but not scheduled? I had that for about a month and then it skipped on to 5055 (production scheduled but not started) and has been there for the last 2 weeks.
