I ordered my C350 Sport at the end of November 2011 for delivery on 1st March 2012. At the time of placing the order the dealer told me they'd have it for February, but I wanted to wait until March for the '12' reg. When February arrived I called to check on delivery and was told that it'd been delayed until mid to late March. March arrived and I was told that it had been delayed until April! Excuses about the earthquake in Japan so problems getting the right alloy for the wheels and the right material for the paint. As we made our way through March the estimated delivery date started to come slowly forward again, and eventually I got it on 31st March. Thankfully it was worth the wait.

So far the insurance hadn't contacted me after I called them a couple of times and the Met haven't responded either. I know the Olympics are on, but a quick phone call wouldn't have gone amiss.
As for the car, I've done just over 1,000 miles so it's starting to free up a bit
and I can say it definitely feels quicker than the A4 3.0tdi i had (and that is a quick car) although he fuel economy seems to be about 4-5 mpg worse 
The only niggles I have are the slightly floaty suspension and the gearbox sometimes seeming to be confused around 30 mph when dawdling along. The car is superb on the motorway though
I will do a write up when I find the time (not got a day off for another 3 weeks though and leaving for work at 06:30 every morning and getting back around 21:30 for the foreseeable future wont help

I'm not surprised with the police if I'm honest but with all the CCTV they should be able to sort it. They would be more interested if it was catching someone speeding!
You need to work less!

Seems to be a general move from BMW here. Not surprising given their standard of customer service which is not much better than ****e IMHO.
