As soon as you select anything beyond Vernasca Leather, the system will allow the build but indicates this protracted delay.

My build includes:

2020 xDrive40i
- Design -M Sport
- Exterior - Carbon Black Metallic
- 22" M Double-spoke black wheels, style 742M w/ performance non run-flat tires
- Interior -Ivory White /Night Blue Full Merino leather
- Trim - Aluminum Tetragon trim

Options
- Driving Assistance Professional Package
- Executive Package
- Luxury Seating Package
- Integral Active Steering
- M Sport Brakes
- 2-axle air suspension
- Acoustic glass
- Alcantara headliner in upholstery color
- Extended Shadowline Trim
- Front and Rear Heated Seats
- Glass Controls
- Heated Front Seats, Armrests & Steering Wheel
- Harman Kardon surround sound system
- Space-saver spare (required without run flats)

Is it really a 10 week delay??

I ordered my X5 sDrive40i a couple of days after they implemented that message for individual options (in my case, coffee extended merino), and my car actually arrived a week or so earlier than quoted. And I'm in Los Angeles. This was before Coronavirus had become as big as it is now. So I don't think that has anything to do with it.

My order was placed Feb 7th and I took delivery on March 10th (car arrived at dealer March 9th). So take that 10-week delay warning with a grain of salt — it may or may not apply to your build.
