To be honest, any dealer of any marque quoting you delivery times for a car not yet made or even ordered is guessing.

I'd also be careful with BMW as they are trying to counter the component shortages by removing items from the spec... eg the touch screen!

I read on a Ford forum recently that Ford are also removing items from the spec of some models for the same reason.

If they are up front about removing some spec AND able to slot it in in future (eg software update), then that would seem a reasonable approach. As long as you know what exactly you are paying for.

The trouble is, people are ordering, getting dates pushed back and spec removed at the same time.... its a total lottery whether you get your car and what it actually turns up with. Sure, you can cancel and they also give you compensation for lost elements, but....

I'd stay on target with the Mk8 if I were you now...

Latest spec BTW has actually deleted some things you used to get... I wouldn't call it an upgrade as such.
