    R36 MY10 Waiters - ?Delivery times

    Hi Everyone,

    For the guys currently like us awaiting delivery on an MY10 R36, has anyone been given an estimated delivery date yet? Our dealer contact is apparently still awaiting confirmatory info from VWA HQ re: build dates and consequent estimated delivery from there.

    Anyone managed to get firmer info from their dealer?
    Thanks! - Not getting desperate of course!

    PS - to clear up some misconceptions around the MY10 spec... I've been told we are not getting ANY mechanical updates - just some minor detail changes and some extra options. R36 wagons to get newly designed luggage tie-down hooks, gooped self-sealing tyres (NOT runflats ). I'm assured R36 will keep it's current steering wheel & HVAC, not a la Passat CC (though non-R36's may get the new wheel).

    So... MY09 owners rest assured

    I am preparing for a MINIMUM of four months given other's experiences on this forum - so I'm kind of hoping someone else has slightly better news

    Only speaking from 2nd hand experience from a mate with a current BMW 3 Series on 18" wheels - very stiff ride on runflats - got much better ride switching to conventional tyres... but of course got stranded after running over a nail (no spare!).
    Oh yes, and apparently the run-falts are much more expensive to replace and difficult to come by outside of major cities.
