Greetings all!

First, let me say Thank You to the posters on this forum for helping me decide on my perfect car and mods.

And thus, I would like to ask for for your opinion about a situation I have found myself in:

Background:
Deployed for military, returning to states (MD) Sep 30. I have left my '97 528i with my parents to take care of, (e.g. Mom - Baby the car and show off to family, Dad - Fly like a bat out of hell on the mountain roads of Virginia), knowing that I would end up giving it to them and buying a new 335Xi (see sig).

I have ordered my new car through Pentagon Car Sales, and tried to time it so that the car would be fresh and new when I get home. However, I just rec'd my order email saying "Your new BMW has been allocated factory production # 3185620 and is scheduled to be produced in the Week of the 05.March 2007" which I assume means March 5th. I figure it would take about two weeks to build (+/-). Then, if I add on eight weeks for shipping to the east coast and delivery to dealer, I'm looking at my car arriving in late May.

Facts:
1) The car is being financed through NFCU, and thus will be paid for already.
2) I have not had any contact with BMW of Bel Air, the receiving dealer, in any part of this process.

Dilemma:
1) What risks are there involved in my car sitting at a dealer until Oct 01?
2) How many miles should I expect to see on the odometer?

That said, please share your thoughts.
V/R,
Iceberg

if your car starts production march 5, it will be at your dealer in april. not sure about your dealer, but mine will not hold a car for more then 60 days. lot space is valuable.

Spoke with admin at PentCarSales and we agreed that I'll cancel my order and re-order in May. Thanks for your advice!
