Hi, i just ordered one 118i and found this forum.
unfortunately, there is just stardard configuration version in China,
and i have to wait for 5 months because of adding the navi package.
it's totally RMB290,000 yuan(not include tax)
too expensive and too long waiting.
Shit.

yes, the dealer told me that 1 month order, 1month produce and 3 month ship to Shanghai...
Oh,no...and just 16 inch wheels, but having angel eyes and sunroof for the standard configuration.

But i have to doubt if the shipping need a so long time about 3 months.

Ibeech, i've just been on the phone to my lease company (lex autolease) and been told that THEY have been informed by BMW, and 1 series cars are now on a 12-15 week lead time. I ordered mine on 26th of March and have been told the dealer will receive it on the 11th of June. I'll get it a week later most probably.

oh no! so have you ordered through a leasing company and not direct through the dealer?

i ordered my PCP through my dealer on march 30th- i got a build week of May 7th the day after i ordered.

in china, there is just one way to own a new BMW, just order or buy one in a 4-S store directly.

And the configuration is lower than yours,
the price is higher than yours,
the time for ship is longer than yours,
the accessories are more expensive than yours.
Oh, shit.

i just emailed by dealer who said week 19 , 7th may still confirmed build date but completion week 23 , 4th june.He said it has gone to built so should be sooner,kind of think they tell us what we want to hear......

4th June doesnt sound too bad- dont forget its usually 3 weeks from when its built to when you get it. just emailed mine for an update

let me know what they say....

ibeech,
not exactly,there are many 116s and 118s here, but all is standard configuration version. so i prefer to wait 5 months for the navi package.
and 1er is more than 11% discount in shanghai, despite the high guided price here.

i dont understand why you have to wait so much longer then.

Good luck with the wait! Hope your car arrives soon!
