I hit 153 this morning, 3/25.

My production date in My Garage is still 3/26, so I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm glad things are moving along so quickly!

For the dealer to have had allocations, this seems like a long time.
Production date moved up to the 28th! :happyanim:

Could it mean that I could have my car before the end of the month? The dealership is less than four hours away from the factory.

Just checked this morning, and I'm now at 182, Awaiting Carrier Assignment. :happyanim:

Just keeping up with the tracking. My car sat in 182, Awaiting Carrier Assignment for 2 days and just switched to Dispatched from the Factory this afternoon. On its way.

Finally at 182! I should have it next week.

She's at the dealership. I'll pick her up tomorrow. Finalizing paperwork tonight.

Picked up my car last night. Ordered on the 6th, picked it up on the 31st. Having ordered so many cars from Germany and waiting for the boat to arrive, this seems amazingly quick.

What does the PCD experience look like for purchase of an X5? What do you get the opportunity to drive?

With PCD, you drive a similar car to the one you just bought. For an X5, it would be a 40i or an M60i, unless you you bought the X5M. This lets you push a car similar to yours to the limits of performance without waiting for the break-in period, and while using their brakes and tires.

If you come back for the New Owners Track Drive, you will drive an assortment of cars, but NOT the one you bought. These might be M2, M340i, X3M, M240i, etc.

Okay, so there is a break-in period??? How many miles? What can't (or shouldn't) I do prior to then?

Yes, there are a few break-in periods for a new X5 40i. From the manual:

Thanks!

Whew! So, nothing ridiculous.

Picked up her yesterday. And thus far, all highway miles without too much hard breaking. I don't think I have ever read a manual unless I needed to look something up. Maybe I will spend some time this weekend reading.

Bought an X5 S40i and did PCD a couple weeks ago. We were assigned an X5M for the entire experience. Man that thing was a rocket for a heavy vehicle.
