Buyers waiting months for some luxury vehicles - up to 6 months for new BMW X3

2011 has started with a bang for the German luxury automakers and BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz reported record sales in the start calendar month of the yr. All three premium automakers have a enhance in sales in the two digits range and the forecast shows an ascending graph for their automotive sales in the upcoming months.

United states magazine Bloomberg reports that BMW, Audi and Mercedes have long waiting lines for some of their new vehicles. Audi buyers must await an average of 3 to iv months for cars like the $52,700 A6 sedan as the company runs factories at full steam in an endeavour to keep pace with record need.

The compact Audi A3 has long waiting times as well up to x weeks from the moment the order was placed.

In our opinion, the new BMW X3 is the vehicle that can take the Munich-based automaker to the side by side level in 2011. The new meaty SAV will account for a big portion of the overall sales and we predict BMW will overtake Lexus as the biggest automaker in the US. Bloomberg seems to agree with us. The demand for the 2011 X3 is stiff and Birgit Hiller, a spokeswoman for BMW says customers must wait as many as three months for some models and every bit long as six months for the new X3.

If the first generation X3 was built in Graz, Austria, the F25 X3 moved its production lines to the Spartanbug institute which recently received a $750 million investment for expansion and renovation, including new pigment and body shops.

Waiting times at Mercedes-Benz, which ranks second to BMW in global sales, are at close to the pre-recession levels of 2007, with most vehicles ordered now scheduled for delivery at the first of the second quarter.

With the Chinese market place standing its ascending and accelerated growth, we anticipate boosted expect times for some other luxury models from the three German automakers.
