I was given a build date of 2 September and delivery date of w/c 16 September, which slipped to 23 September, then BMW UK held the car for an upgrade before delivering to the dealer. I eventually picked it up on 4 October, the first the dealer had delivered and before they even had their own demonstrator (and even that one was to be shared across multiple dealer sites).

According to the motor trade press, BMW have been inundated with demand for the 330e - they expect to sell far more than the last generation and more in line with the most popular ICE versions.......

Pays to be quick off the mark.
The ordering process/priority is very odd. Mine wasn't ordered until July 19th and I collected it on 20th September!? The only thing I can think of is that my lease company (Arval) had a pre-ordered allocation somehow.

I've no doubt they'll sell loads, boot space aside it's a great car, especially for company car drivers...

Mine was ordered in the beginning of July and the dealer said it would arrive on the first of November. It arrived here in Portugal last monday. Haven't collected yet, though, still waiting for the license plate...

Well I am with arval and Arval does not share that info with me (even the order number), and Sytner is not disclosing this info as well as it's Arval who order, not me

however, on Monday I got this:
"it’s currently in transit and making its way from Germany"

Perhaps Chris Grayling has got a new job managing the BMW ferry schedule...

Seriously, I hope they get moving soon, they're pretty quick at getting them to you once they get to the UK.

Just looking at getting a charger installed and wondered why you have 2 cables going in. Is one a network cable?

Your new BMW 330e M Sport (what a great choice, by the way!) is currently at sea, and is expected to be with you around the 23rd October, so it's getting really close now!

From what I've seen with other orders it typically takes a further 4/5 days to be delivered to the dealer once you're at sea.

Then another 3 days for the dealer to arrange handover. So if all goes well we could expect pickup early next week?!

I sincerely hope so but my fleet company did put back estimated delivery date to the 8/11/19?? I doubt it will take that long though...

Might be possible... depends how quick it moves to the dealer and then their turnaround time. It is doable with a following wind.

Mine took 4 days from being told it was in the UK to arriving at my dealers.. but I’m in Scotland others have been quicker.

Not long to wait.

Mine arrived in UK yesterday (9650). Genius says estimated to arrive at dealer on 21/10 - can't believe it would take a week to get from the port to the dealer??? But maybe I'm just impatient!

Genius kept giving me a delivery date to dealer, which was a Thursday on the Wednesday they still told me it would be the Thursday.... guess what? Dealer contacted me Wednesday afternoon to say the car was here.... so hopefully it may be quicker.

I also got really impatient once I knew it was in the UK... but worth waiting for....... enjoy.
