Having gone through delays last year for other reasons (build slot early July became October) it seems things haven't got any better. In fact quite the opposite!

Looks like the delay is getting longer. I had a build slot of wk17 and am now told wk34 (which is August) at the earliest, and even then dependent upon the upgrades needed to the engine passing official testing. Quote of the day....'We are in the hands of the government'........
So, it looks like October delivery.

i will hire a solicitor and write down financial penalty and cancelation possibilities if any delay I think you would probably find that MMC and/or the dealer would simply refuse to enter into a contract on that basis. It's easy to say MMC must have known about this for a long time, but I bet resolving all the issues is not straightforward, especially not if one wants to retain the essential looks and character of the M3W. With Euro4, you not only have to demonstrate compliance to a lot tighter set of criteria, but you also have to be able to prove that the vehicle will retain compliance for at least 20,000km

Just move to the colonies. We'll be great again after the impeachment! Then again, you'd be stuck with fugly headlamps.

Quite some time ago it was easy, you just had to pay the church. But then some pple didn't like it so it changed a bit.
This post is intended as a joke I hope I'm not offending anyone.
