330e delivery halt

ShereKhan · 12-18-2020, 08:45 AM

Go for the last one the M performance one...but in all black

I bought mine for under £100 from a BMW dealer in Germany.
I'm in Bristol too so if you want to see it in the flesh let me know.

Looks brill in grey 🤤

Have you gone for genuine parts? Or aftermarket?

Agreed. Such an easy change but makes a huge difference.

I paid £120 via eBay from Snows BMW in Portsmouth.

Greetings folks, 3rd BMW on order as of yesterday... does anyone have recent experience of delivery lead times?
My G30 was 12 Dec~3 March (4 years ago), so that's my gauge ...

Looking at this thread it seems the 330e had a problem mid year due to factory repurposing for iX3, but seems to be better of late? is 6~8 weeks likely?

Cheers

I went for this in the end. However I cheaped out and went via eBay. The fit does not look as good as yours. I’m going to keep my eye out for an original BMW one.

So I am not happy! I have just found out my 330e touring m sport is delayed until 10th may!! Not been given any reason why yet. But I’ll be contacting the dealer tomorrow.

Wow, that is a long time, possibly as yours is an estate?

My order was finalised 23/12/2020 and I just got my first estimate today from Factory of delivery by 22/3/2021, so 10 weeks about.....

Expect that to be delayed.

My first estimate was 23rd December, then 25th January, and then to 10th May.

However I spoke to the BMW Genius team and they have an estimated delivery date of week 18 of 2021, which is 3rd May. So I would expect collection delivery to be between 3rd and 17th May.

Indeed, I am not going to pin my hopes on this date, especially after last year's upheavals

It will just mean I am without a car for a few months as my current car goes back at end February, bicycle it is then !

My car is due to go back in March, But im sure lex autolease will just let me keep it until the 330e is ready

wassap · 01-05-2021, 03:46 AM

My company car is with lex aswell, I had no issues hanging on to mine.

I'm on a Leaseplan Business Lease, G30 Diesel, so want to get rid of it immediately due to BIK tax at 30% , it's like a chain around my neck

mines the same, i have a VW Tiguan 2.0 diesel, which sits at 33%!!

paulockenden · 01-05-2021, 08:21 AM

Mine's a 330e touring xdrive and the date hasn't budged (checked with a genius yesterday).

Only problem is, I expect the dealer will still be locked down when it arrives, and I don't think buying a new car counts as 'essential shopping'. So I probably won't be able to get it until April or thereabouts, when this current lockdown ends.

I got mine last lock down, the garage "back door" was still open. No razzmatazz or typical handover. It really was, here are your keys have a nice day scenario.
I have to travel for work anyway (cant work from home as in transportation industry) so i was in the area to collect anyways, they normally deliver new cars to my work but obviously that was not possible either.
Hope you get yours, i must admit I absolutely love my 330e even on summer tyres its got me through some really bad road conditions of late

My car is the same look as yours, but still in the stock grille. I've been thinking of changing the grille, but don't know which to get. Yours is looking really good.

Most garages are open for the handover of cars I think.

yes they do collections and deliveries, but low key. kind of, heres your car. bye.

paulockenden · 01-07-2021, 04:19 AM

That's great, but how is it justified given the current rules of essential shopping only?

My new car is essential to me, of course!!!!!!
