Thank you Captain Slow !

Though that was rather fast ! Should i be concerned with the manufacturing date being May 2011 ? Its September already !

where can this information be found ?

the dealer is vehemently claiming the dates to be August for the 530d and July for the 520d. Where can i cross verify this ?

^^ check the Form-21 and 22 from the dealer .

Maybe the cars were delivered to him in August
