Unfortunately sales to the general public have to wait too, my sister is currently waiting for her x3 20i, ordered last month with the dealership having a build slot, my other sister took a brand new car from stock x4 40i so only had to wait 2days minimum from ordering until collection (she was working so took a week for her to collect).
the longest I’ve had to wait for a Motability vehicle is 9months, that was also my first one but had another car though (private).
with factories not running at full capacity it’s going to be a long wait for many, I know that if the dealer didn’t have a build slot for my sisters x3 they were quoting a March/April delivery
