Finally picked up my X5 40i yesterday. Here is my build:

- Carbon Black X5 40i with M Sport package
- Black Vernasca leather with Poplar Anthracite trim
- 20" M740 wheels with RFT's
- Executive package
- Premium Package 2
- Parking assistance package
- Luxury seating package
- Harman Kardon
- Acoustic glass
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Heating and cooling front and rear seats with steering wheel and armrests
- M Sport Brakes

Here is the timeline from the day the order was placed till it got delivered to the dealership:

4/13 - order placed
4/16 - entered production queue
4/26 - enroute to the OXnard, CA VDC
5/10 - vehicle at the dealership and PDI done - ready to be picked up by me
5/13 - I picked up the vehicle

3.5 weeks from ordering to delivery is amazing. Even the SA was super surprised that it was that quick and he has never seen that before, especially for a busy market like the bay area in CA.

Spent 1.5 hours before signing any paperwork and did a thorough check including had the genius try the back up parking and parallel parking to ensure it works the way it is supposed to. Checked for the wireless charging apple pay issue and no Apple pay screen popped up. The weather widget is working fine and so is navigation.

Mods done already:
- Black Grill from eBay
- Rear body color reflectors from IND
- Front body color reflectors
- Front CF lip
- F97 CF mirror caps
- CF roundels front and back
- Mud flaps
- Full front PPF
- Front and read window tint
- Screen protectors for iDrive screen and live dash
- Coding out the ASS
- Alpina dash without any logo
- M welcome and goodbye screen
- Video in Motion

So far super excited about the technology and the features - upgrading from a E90 LCI and my first SUV/SAV ever. I am just going to enjoy the car and looking forward to working on it as more after market parts start becoming available. Attached are some pics to get started with.
