Just Placed An Order

COKen · 01-24-2023, 03:08 PM

I placed another order for an X5 M50 today to replace the one which I was to pickup tomorrow, but it was missing its red calipers.

I did add Extended Shadowline to the new build.

Missing as in you ordered them and the build showed up wrong? Where was the breakdown ?

it appears that the person (management) entering the order didn't include the red calipers.

Well, things seem to change fast around here. I just receive a call from my CA and she just had a meeting with all the bosses at the dealership and they decided they could pull the red calipers off of another X5 M50 and put them on mine. So I accepted their offer and I should be getting my X5 in the next few days.

Good news in the end, don't forget the photos.

My Tanzanite is ordered with blue calipers, will be one of the things I check when it arrives.

Ummmm.... but aren't the brake themselves underneath different if they didn't properly choose the M-Sport brakes?

No, the default brakes are the blue MSport.

Are the dealers inclined to discount the 2023’s right now being so close to the LCI announcement?

We have been seeing more discounting, depending on what model you want, but it would have nothing to do with the LCI in my opinion. The economy, rising interest rates and slowing of demand seem to be the cause. That said, some dealers are still take it or leave it at MSRP.

The BMW CCA rebate is $1,000 not $1,500.

You are correct. That's what happens when I try to go by memory.

Just curious which dealer was willing to do that? Downtown, Schomp, Gebhardt or Winslow?

BMPHIL · 01-25-2023, 05:18 AM

In UK with Msport package the default colour for brakes is red, I had to tick blue to get it.

OP listed Extended Shadowline Trim as part of the order which means blacked out grill.

I did add shadowline to the new order, but now we are back to the first order which didn't have shadowline.

Personally I would live with the blue as opposed to having them F around by swapping calipers.
