I get it. I think the paints they charge $5k for are the ones that have longer lead times from 4-6 months ish. Whatever the case is Tanzanite is a great color!! Enjoy it!
Correct. The ones that are included in the standard color option list (even is more expensive) aren’t individual paints in the same context. These shouldn’t add to wait time.

Then what's In Transit? Either way it was at the dealership so looks like the updates are not real time. Pretty quick turn, built on 2/6, delivered on 2/7.

Good to hear. ATL isn't far from Spartanburg. Pictures when you get it.

Coupla beauties! Congrats.

We finally decided to downsize from our x7 to the x5 before the 2027 model comes out & changes everything. Apparently, the demand for final model year of current x5 is in high demand. Looks like most people wanted to get in before they change it all for 2027.

Our order was submitted and production number issued on December 11,2025. We are scheduled for production week 21 - May 17th, 2026.
Looks like 5 months total time which is fine not in a rush. So glad we got our individual color order in - from what others have posted it doesn't seem like you can order a 2026 model in individual paint any longer for 2026.

What a great build! I think you just beat the cut off on individual orders. The wait felt like years to me.

I ordered an X5M Comp in Sepang Bronze Metallic on December 3rd and nothing has moved. Dealer has no idea when it will be built. I actually wanted to change the color 2 days after I ordered it to Malachite green but they would not allow it. If I get it in June or July that fine with me as I'm going to have a hard time giving up my X7 for it.

Once individual paint is approved they won’t let you make changes to it. But I assume you got one of the last individual slots on these which is cool!

We saw a Seoane bronze X7 being delivered when we picked up our X5 at the perf center last year. Nice color!

Thanks for sharing the picture. I'm really worried about the color in that it will just look brown. I bought spray cans of it and sprayed it out on metal panels and it looks nice but I'm going to miss not having the green. Oh well. First world problems I guess. The X7 you shared looks nice. I'm also stressing about the interior as I chose the black merino leather with midrand beige and alcantara center. In some pictures, the beige looks yellow. Ive had so many vehicles with black interior, I wanted to change it up.

Color is very personal; if you like it, that is what matters.

Here is a little video where you can see the interior well:

Theres always the next one if you want to go back to green, but you will love the X5M. It feels phenomenal.

Isn't there a sticker under the hood somewhere that shows the color name? My 2026 that I just took delivery on doesn't have one. I'll have to take a look and see if our 2025 one has it.

Edit: My 2025 doesn't have it either.

Thank you! Not a big deal. I just noticed it wasn't there. I supposed it saved BMW $5. Add up all the little things they stopped doing and I'd gladly pay the extra few hundred dollars. Like the deletion of the Alcantara sunroof cover and the acoustic glass.

The color code should be on the plate on the door jamb.

Was looking for this under the hood. More curiosity than anything.

Received VIN today at status 150,for production week commencing March 2nd. Dunno how is it the same timeframe as other colours once it’s produced?

Once you get to this point, you’re already scheduled and on the same timeline as any other build. The wait really is getting you scheduled into the production queue.

Hey I was wondering if anyone else had this problem - my dealer called me to say my status has reverted to 102, which they said they rarely see (?).
Prior, I had my production week showing week 14. Has anyone else had this happen? And if so, how long did it take to resolve back to a confirmed production week?
