Title: BW 16 club?
Post by: Suklpm on 07 March 2014, 18:06: Just got a call from the dealer with an estimate BW 16... A couple of qs (apologies if they've been asked before!)
- generally, how accurate is the estimate?
- what does BW16 (April 14) translate to when it comes to delivery... Sometime in mid-May?

Any insight would be much appreciated!

Post by: Jthgti on 07 March 2014, 18:47: It's an educated guess - should be reasonably accurate as BW16 is just over 5 weeks away (should go confirmed 3 or 4 weeks before build)

Looks like people are waiting between 4 and 5 weeks after the build week start for delivery, mid-May seems reasonable.

Title: Re: BW 16 club?
Post by: Suklpm on 07 March 2014, 20:13: 20th Feb.... So looks like about 3 months from order to delivery.... Not too bad..

Post by: p3asa on 07 March 2014, 20:20: 12 weeks then? That's quick. I take it its a GTI as the GTD's seem to be taking longer.

Similar here, ordered a week before you and have an estimate of BW15. I'm signed up to get emails and texts from the tracker, and also check manually most days.

It's like when you have ordered something nice online and keep thinking you've heard the delivery van. Only it lasts around 3 months :( :smiley:

I'm planning my first cleaning session in detail now. In a few weeks I'll move on to organising my music SD, but then I'll probably have to take up a high adrenaline sport to get through the last few weeks.

My dealer tells me I am a BW14, but still "with factory" on the tracker...........

Dealer has no update, but expects early May delivery. I think it should change over the next week or so - definitely for you being BW14?
