Build Date Confirmed!!

[Restlessnative]

Long time lurker here, yes some pics please BSG and thoughts on it, as its also a post BW22 car aswell, my black GTD is due to me in literally a couple of weeks, the wait has  been agonising though. Heres my text dates just to give you guys some idea of the gaps between updates (obviously its not a given that theyre all the same)

Ordered car March 13th

02/07 Stage 3 build confirmed BW31

Stage 4 build in progress no text (showed on tracker though)

07/08 stage 5a in transit left factory
09/08 stage 5b shipping
12/08 stage 5c near uk
13/08 stage 6 arrived in uk

And then yesterday I got a second stage 6. All texts seem to come at literally 08:45

I was confirmed for BW31 on the tracker, BUT then if I logged in to the website it would show the week after so I think I was actually BW32.

A bit strange but hey its moving now.

Did you ask for delayed delivery to get the 65 plate?.
I ordered mine on 1st of July.Was informed of provisional BW39,then BW35 by the dealer.'Delivery by end of Sept'.I saw these provisional dates on his own order screen.
Now i'm told 'nothing concrete regarding a confirmed BW,we'll let you know'.Then i read a VW dealers post on here saying 'GTD's on average 18 week wait'.
I'm guessing the VW dealer i bought mine from was yanking my chain.Maybe i'll just cancel it and get a 330d.

Yeah I asked them to just hold fire until first week of Sept, they did tell me a few weeks ago that basically they had one in stock ready for delivery but it was a MY15 so I just said after waiting aslong as I have I may as well claim the Nav, winter pack etc at no extra cost.. Someones cancelled order obviously.
Yeah I would say end of Sept delivery for yourself is a little optimistic but then never say never, I was told 12-16 weeks for delivery, first unconfirmed BW23 then BW24 then BW29, and finally BW31 which ended up at BW32.. Crazyness! I guess really it all depends on how bad you want one, a 330D is certainly attractive and youll get it quicker for sure my last car Audi A5 Black edition was something like 16 weeks from order to delivery! God knows whats going on with VW.

Ok thanks.What happened with your build weeks is what i fear may happen to mine.Next thing it's the middle of Winter and i'm still driving my Beemer with Summer tyres on.
I suspect that rather than having over capacity like a lot of manufacuturers and the costs that it brings.They have gone for under capacity and said 'take it or leave it',which is fair enough.But they should be more upfront about delivery dates rather than just stringing people along.I've put down a £200 deposit so i'll see how it goes.I'll wait for another couple of weeks.

I know what you mean, I wouldnt be suprised if it was Nov/Dec to be honest but im no expert, im just going on personal experience and from what other peoples posts have said, I guess also from I have read that its to do with dealer allocation but I dont know much about that, having never driven a GTD it wants to be something special I tell you.. Hang in there im sure it will be worth it. But at the same time its a major pain for what I would consider to be a 'normalish' car.

I went through to the VW dealers tonight.Just to remind myself how much i want my GTD.They had a couple of 15 platers on the forecourt.They just look cool without trying.Mine is a 3 door in carbon grey with the standard 18* wheels.So i guess i'll just look at pictures of them for the time being.
I also got a cracking fixed trade in price.Plus my M135i is quite a good runaround for now.
The best things come to those who wait.Maybe VW should use that in their ads.

If they used that phrase I know of a lady on here would think they are taking the p!ss out of her.
Carbon is a great colour I agree.

Yes,i've been reading that story.Pretty shoddy show indeed.I'd have walked away from it months ago.

I love carbon grey! I tried to change mine but because my deal was locked in before the BW22 updates they basically told me if I were to change the colour then I would have to pay the inflation hike as well. So im stuck with standard black unfortunately but with some proper detailing Im sure I can keep it looking half decent. Besides my last car was grey as well! (Im trying to convince myself that I dont need it) great choice! And youre right they look amazing without trying, but not in your face.

I think they look good in any colour.The 2 i saw at the dealers tonight were a black one and a white one (GTD's).Both looked superb.I couldn't help but notice that both were 15 plate,5-9k miles, 5 door manuals with no extras at all.Yet were not far off the price of my new 3 door with £2k of extras.
I am beginning to see method in the apparent waiting time VW madness.'Treat them mean,keep them keen'.
