Been to see my dealer today and mine is showing as wk 37 at the moment, so looking for the end of August (was told July originally). Taking one out for a test drive tomorrow so at least I get to have a go in one before mine arrives (if it ever does!)

That'll be the 2nd week in October for delivery, at the earliest.  :sad:

I'm BW37 at the moment and mid October is the earliest anticipated delivery for me.  :cry:

Welcome to the club.

Long experience is teaching me to assume the longest possible time for each operation.  So in this case:
  • BW37 start -> may not complete until early BW38 -> 16/9
  • 2-4 weeks to ship (pot luck with ship departure) ->  7/10
  • Once in UK week until collection ->  14/10
Ta da!

Yes I really hope it moves faster than that, but even on my last car (which was only 8 weeks estimated from order to collection) I ended up having to add on something like 3 weeks to the "absolute latest" estimated collection.  So now I'm just assuming everything takes the maximum time it might take, and I should probably throw some time in to allow for delays but I can't face doing that! :grin:

1 week to build, minimum 3 weeks to deliver, few days to PDI.  :smiley:

Order back on the tracker and the colour has changed but still showing as order processing so I don't believe the BW27 quoted by the dealer as that's less than 4 weeks away. Hopefully changing the colour has not pushed the BW back.

I'm guessing for those of us who were told bw27 if we don't see a change on the track my order website tomorrow then it ain't going to happen?

Correct. You should have a confirmed BW by end of play tomorrow. If you haven't then you've been f7cked over & they are telling porkies *shocker* which I surely can't believe  :rolleyes:  :whistle:

When I was out with my dealer tonight for a test drive he was mentioning that my car is build confirmed for week 26 :smiley: and everything is going to plan. Apparently one customer ordered the day before me and he specified DSG yet he hasn't even had a confirmed build week go figure.

Is yours showing build week confirmed status on the website?
