Skyfleet Car leasing any good?

Skyfleet are doing a fantastic offer on a BMW 318i ES and I want to go ahead but my only prob is that they are saying they can't get hold of one for 8-10 wk? Should I trust them? My worry is that I have to hire a car for the 8-10 wk because I've sold mine privately and its got to go. So if they are not being truthful about the lead time or if they don't manage to get hold of one at all I'm stuck. Does anybody have any experience with them? Or can anybody recommend a very reliable lease company?
Thanks

    8 to 10 week lead time on a beemer is about right unless they can find a pipeline car that is currently in the build process. Can they not try to locate a physical vehicle for you?

    Apparently not. BMW themselves can offer me a car on the 12th May but there deal works out £1481 dearer over the 2 years.
