Still in status 112 as of right now on Monday morning. When I called genius line they still state week 39. So not sure why it hasn't moved to 150 yet.
I guess you still have a shot, as we always say - you move to 150 about two weeks prior to your production week. Hopefully you are just taking advantage of the "about". ;)

Haha in that grey area I guess for me. I called the Genius line today and it still is week 39. Hopefully that's week 39 of 2025 not 2026 :lol:

Just surprised nothing has happened being that is next week. Would have thought by now it would have either moved to 150 or the genius line would be saying a different week number. Strange.

Just saw another member who is being told their's is Week 39 but they have moved to 150 and the production date is in Week 40. It could be the Genius system is behind actual scheduling.

I had saw that and was thinking the same thing. The only variable that makes things a little more difficult to get a bead on is that my build is an individual color. Being that they only do those batches are certain weeks, I am not sure if week 40 is one of those weeks or if I am getting pushed even further out. I can handle another week, but if it is another month or two then I may just start looking at other already existing options on lots. I knew the individual color option was going to add time back when I placed the order in March, but I hadn't anticipated approaching 6 months without it even being in production or a final production date. From all the searching I had done online they didn't tend to take that long normally and there have been other individual orders with production numbers after my order that have completed.

Yes, that would seem to be usually long. Did your dealer have an allocation for your order or were you put into the order bank?

They had an allocation and were able to provide me with the production number that same day I placed the order. That's why this has been a bit confusing and frustrating that it has taken this long with seemingly no direct reason like a shortage or stop sale.

Okay, just wanted to rule out waiting for one. Hopefully you get a date soon and can put the waiting behind you.

Bummer on your order. You've waited this long maybe stick it out some more and see how it develops. I committed to a Melbourne Red today so we'll see how mine shakes out.

Well good news, it finally moved to status 150 this morning and I have the VIN. Build week is 40 and the estimated production date is Sep 30th. So it looks like individual color orders are indeed happening on week 40. I am just glad it is finally moving along.

My Melbourne red Is supposed to be entered today with the factory, so we'll see how it shakes out on the production week. My dealer swears up and down I'll have the thing in two months time and after telling him of all the different production dates on this thread, he still thinks I'll have it pretty quick. Based on all the different dates that don't seem to really have any rhyme or reason, I'm not going to have any expectations. As soon as I get details I'll post them up. Keep us posted on yours I'm watching your build and would love to see pics.

Good luck, I hope that is the case. But not too optimistic. Id assume another month or two.

Mine took roughly 5 months from order to pickup (granted that was with performance center delivery, which added 2-3 weeks).

And though I was with the first allocations of MY2026 orders, I know other 2026 individual X5s were produced in production weeks earlier than mine. So who knows how things really shake out.

Nice! It is a great color. Good luck with your order, I think your dealer is being a bit over optimistic but at least once the vehicle is produced it won't take long to ship to GA. So you will shave weeks off the wait time the west coast and PNW have due to shipping.

There is no rhyme or reason on how BMW pulls in the individual color orders. There are certain weeks they do runs and if you are lucky and there is space you may get into the next run. However individual color orders do take a bit as even though your dealer has an allocation and basically the individual color options for the X5s are pre-approved it still needs to go through the process of the dealer submitting the individual order request to BMW for the allocation and then BMW approving it. Once it is approved you will see in the order tracker that you have a special order color.

When I ordered our 2025 in January it did ship in one day I think after "awaiting carrier assignment". I am lucky from that standpoint. There probably is a rhyme or reason to their individual paint production schedule we just don't know what that is. It would be cool if they look at at my order and go, "hey, there's a dude in the PNW having a Melbourne red painted next week, let's squeeze this one in GA in at the same time!!"

Signed off yesterday on ordering a 40i sDrive. Haven't received any production week yet or any info at all. Dealer says they're waiting for details. Hope it shows up around the Holidays. We just bought a 2025 same exact spec but in Skyscraper grey over cognac, black fine line trim.

2026 X5 40i sDrive
-Melbourne red
-coffee sensafin
-Anthracite Brown Poplar Matte Finish wood
-Msport
-Msport Pro with red calipers
-Executive pkg
-Dapp
-Climate Comfort
-Parking assistance (I think this falls under one the packages?)
-2 axle air suspension
-Alcantara headliner
-22" black style 742M wheels.

Already planning to put black badging, M style upper rear spoiler, high gloss black rear wiper arm and PPF on the front end, mirrors and rockers. I did PPF on the entire vehicle on the 2025 but that was expensive. And I'll probably swap in and out the 747M wheels I bought for the 2025. Here's a few pics and a few pics of the red that I have on order.

Yes I have those options except for the black wheels. I wanted the all season tires for Ohio weather s
And that was not an option offered by BMW. I will get them powder coated black like I did my M340 after I get it.

I’m curious what your build week will be.

Good plan. Is yours planned for the last week in November? So you're about a 4 month wait give or take plus shipping?

If I remember correctly, Week 50 is also an Individual batch week so you may catch that.
