A friend ordered a one on 6th March a 3 series I think not on motorbility and she got hers last or week before it was 12 weeks from order to collection which does give a bit of hope I do think it’s also if there’s any extras added this time we haven’t added anything so it’s just as is maybe that’s a good thing when I asked my dealership they say week commencing 30th August at the latest I’m still holding onto hope a bit but will be cheesed off if it comes for 30th August when new registration is so close haha fingers crossed for us all

You can’t really read anything into that Shellie as the 3 Series is a completely different car and probably built in a different factory altogether, so lead times will be wildly different. Not ordering any options will definitely help you though. You don’t have to take delivery immediately, so if it arrives the last week of August you can ask them to register it Sep 1st for the new reg if you would prefer.
