My X1 25i
have been a stroller in this forum for 6 months now, finally taken delivery of my X1 a couple of weeks ago. Have clocked only a few hundreds, so far so good.
My previous car was an E90 330i. As you can see from the photos, it's a Marrakesh Brown X1. Spec'ed it with Magma Brown upholstery. The local importer has included quite an awful lot of equipment as "standard". The only options I have are the Sport Suspension, X-Line and the Black Roofliner. Here are the photos:- |

Thanks. My comment in my blog is only my personal foolish opinions!

Hi there!
believe i was among the 1st batch to order the X1 back on January! I took delivery on early July, so literally the wait is over 6 months. I was told by BM HK that BMW Germany messed up some documents and that dragged on for over a month for licensing from TD. Have you ordered yours? When will you take delivery? |

There were some production delays earlier in the year due to supply problems with the XLine trim. This has been sorted so production back to normal, around 11 weeks from factory order to delivery in the UK.

Hi, All the same factory so yes. However I have no idea how long the shipping to HK will take. Factory to the UK is less than a week with the dealer taking a few extra days to prep the car. I take it factory to HK will take a lot longer.

So 10 weeks from order + 4 weeks shipping + a few days prepping = about 15weeks. I would say that if DavidKinMingChan ordered his car at the beginning of June he could realistically expect delivery from about the end of Sept then.
I have nothing to base this guestimate on though ![]() |

That would be our best guess! Was told that the factory will be off a few weeks in August!
DavidKinMingChan - I now remember the Sales once told me that the second batch is due to arrive/taking delivery on Oct! |

Thank you guys for the information. I hope my order is included in the 2nd batch. By the way, your order was included in the first batch right? How come they took almost six months to process the 2nd batch? Does it mean 2nd batch = 2nd shipment?
