Optimistic dates?

Quick feeler from others experience, spoke to dealer this week and he was able to confirm some dates for me as it's now scheduled for production. They have said:

Production Scheduled for 10/03
Delivery to dealer estimated 25/03
Can get it ready for pickup on 27th if I want quick turnaround

Does that seem about right? 15 days from production starting to arriving at dealers....

Optomistically realistic, I think this would hold up.

Seems a bit optimistic, my F31 took about 2 weeks on the production line (admittedly with quite a few toys for the guys in Munich to screw on) and dealer tells me its normally about another 2 weeks to the dealership once its off the production line.

That would be an incredible turn around. IMO, not a chance!

No it's about 10 days post production to delivery.

That can be a full 10 days in UK before you get it.

Thanks all

Bit of a mixed bag then, i'll remain optimistic

Dealer did say production date may come forward so who knows but i am telling myself it will be April.
