My x5 achieved code 190 dispatched from factory this morning. Does this mean its on the tractor trailer and moving down the road to dealer?
Yup but it'll be "up" the road to OH :) I'm betting it's there tomorrow.

Still shows 190 dispatched from factory this morning. If its on the road to the dealer, should it not show “in transit”?

No, In Transit is only used for vehicles that go by train.

Mine just hit 195 In Transit today and scheduled for arrival at CA VPC on Feb 26th. It left the factory on Feb 13th, so quite some time to get from SC to rail station.

Mine hit 198 at dealer today. Dealer said it would take a couple days to prep. Probably pick her up next Saturday the 28th. Can’t wait.

Dealer said today that the vehicle is not prepped yet. They have had it for a few days now and it’s listed on their website. How does the x5 come in and what do they do for the prep to tale so long?

I picked mine up the day after delivery, less than 24 hrs later.

Sounds like they don’t want to sell a car!

It takes an hour or two. Clean things up and check a few things. For 50e's the battery needs to be charged. Here is a video posted by a dealer.

Sales adviser keeps complaining they are not making any money on the deal. This means either the sales manager is incompetent for approving a deal that they are not making any money (which I doubt), or the sales adviser is lying (which is more likely). I was hoping for a more elevated buying experience from a luxury brand, but felt like I was at a Chevy dealer, with all the same BS lines of dialogue. Sad.

Yeah that sucks, whether they making money or not should treat customers with respect!

That said, at my local BMW I’ve been less than impressed as well and hoped for a more elevated experience as a luxury brand too, in the realm of service etc.

Any update?

Dealer said it is ready and I am scheduled to pick it up Friday morning. Hope there is no more BS, but I am prepared. If they jerk me around, I will walk out and order another one from a different dealer.
