I just think they should be offering DHP on 40i cars for 5 series/X5 and above like they've done in the past. |

The color choices seem pretty bland to me. Am I reading this wrong?
Two whites:
I'm honestly surprised that silver is missing given the overall dearth of color. |

Is DHP really that great?! Planning to order a 50i sometime in November with M-Sport and extended Merino...but looks like many of you would forego other options for DHP. I do drive on a lot of GREAT country roads that are windy/twisty with 70mph limits....

I believe DHP is the BEST option to order

If you've driven a car with ARS/Adaptive Drive, then it is very difficult to then drive one without it. Unfortunately, almost no dealers put this option on their "lot cars" because it is expensive and can't be seen. But, to some of us, ARS makes the X5 drive like a sports car....like a BMW sports car. |

At some point BMW was going to allow the full palette of individual colors for the X5. I recall that was going to happen when the X7 launched. Does anyone have an update on that? I'll be getting another X5M when it comes out and was really hoping for Signapore Grey. Last edited by JM71; 07-06-2018 at 06:43 PM.. |

No 3rd row for the 50i it doesn't appear. Maybe a good thing - I've been trying to find more reasons to get the I6 and not the V8, and I use the 3rd row a lot so that would be reason enough.
Pretty huge price jump between the 40i and 50i |

But what weight reduction? It looks like the G05 (4813) is 133lbs heavier than the F15 (4680)??

2019 X5 xDrive40i will be starting at $60,700 and the 2019 BMW X5 50i xDrive will start at $75,750 plus $995 Destination and Handling. Is it safe to assume these values for starting a build and guesstimating final pricing?

Am I reading this correctly? It appears 2-axle air suspension (2VR) can be ordered separately (vs. in combination with 4UB [3rd row] or ZOR [Offroad]) if ZCV (Convenience Package) is also ordered.
I have read in other forums that air suspension offers better ride comfort so I may be interested if I do not have to get 4UB or ZOR (no need for either of these packages). |

Appears the Leather choices for seats are very limited at start of production. Looks like 4/19 before everything is available. Bummer.

Interesting that a lot of you from the USA are bemoaning the lack of DHP on other than the V8 cars....we lost that option here in the UK on the F15 last year, when it became only an option on the V8 and 50d models.
It was very rarely specced on cars in the UK, so probably why it got dropped as an option in UK (not sure about rest of EU?) My 4.0d SE with DHP was the only one my dealer had ever ordered, and arrived in the UK a month before the option was deleted, so mine may well be the last non-V8 or 50d DHP F15 car delivered to the UK. The lack of factory sports exhaust maybe as a result of the upcoming GPF emissions situation, as its likely that manufacturers will want to standardise spec across as much of the world market as possible, so dealer supplied MPE may well be the only option for USA market as not likely to available anywhere in EU from Sept 2018?

Not sure if I'm reading it incorrectly, but I think it's the paint colors that are not available until 4/19, not the leather options (except for 3 for Dec and 1 for 4/19).

Add to that all the changes BMW has made to their leasing programs and it just seems like a roller coaster I don't think is worth riding. |

I talked to two dealers today. One sales guy wasn’t very familiar with the G05 ordering and the other gave me an allocation spot. I am #6 on their list. They expect to get their main allocations in middle September and already have a build date for their demo and show models (2). He told me to expect to receive the G05 at the end of November based on their current information. I plan on doing a PCD. He also sent me the ordering guide - same thing that is posted here.
So off to pick colors and options. This will be fun. |

Order discounts & BMW contribution
Been following G05 updates for last couple of months. Went to my local dealership this morning (in the UK) and configured the car I am looking for (M Sport).
Does anyone have any insight on what % discount one can expect in this initial period? Obviously the sales man quoted me list price. Also, does BMW make any contributions after a new model launch? He said he is ready to take the orders, production will be some time Oct/Nov with expected delivery Dec/Jan. |
