My brother in Belgium had to wait about 4 months to get his new 116d delivered, something to love about being a US consumer
My dealer (same for all 3 orders) called with the production number and kept me advised on my order's status with e-mails right up to delivery. I found the BMW USA website tracking more accurate than the 800 number tracking but not as good as my dealer's e-mails. Guess I'm lucky to have such a good dealer.
