Most seems to do QC in a day, but there have been a few others in past weeks report several days in QC, would be interesting to know what that is, extra time smoothing out leather wrinkles or maybe software updates that they are waiting for hard to say.

Mine just went to "Entering Assembly Line"

I ordered on 8/29, so I've waited a while.

I don't think it's necessarily first come, first serve.
I knew when I ordered it would be late November/early December.
Hopefully they are delayed because they are fixing all known issues and we all get cars without any defects.

They are not first come first served, each dealer has an allocation of units and those units are already scheduled, as people custom order, they modify those future build slots to be the specification you want (they can do this up until production starts). Depending on how many allocations a dealer has and how many it has sold already, one dealer might be able to put you in for a build next week and another not until February (always best to ask when they have a build slot before you order with them in case it is not going to meet your timeframe). Options that are not available until certain months will also make a difference of course.

Mine was "Dispatched from factory" yesterday. I'm in the PNW, so, I'm guessing it'll be at my dealership in 2 weeks.

Called Genius and received confirmation that my X5 is on a carrier and will arrive at the dealership this Sunday, 12/9, or Monday, 12/10. My dealership is outside of Philly.

Don't hold your breath on your Week 50 build !

My week 49 started production on 11/28 with an estimated completion date of 12/7. As of late yesterday, BME genius told me everything was fine, no delay.
Could not get though to any BMW Genius but just found out from the (800) automated No. that completion has been delayed until 12/12 ( 5 days) !? I wonder if it really started production back on 11/28 ?
very frustrating !

You will... Standard now is a 5-day delay from our original completion date. It won't change until you get to your initially communicated completion date (Sunday). Unless Sunday is the new date you were shifted to - then, it still may be inaccurate

I was delayed 4 days from my initial completion date (was supposed to be 11/30) and am now a week behind the initial completion date I was given - and still not at production complete (Still in QC).

Well - there’s hope... not everyone is getting stuck in QC.

puraj83 - what options did you order with your X5? Shot in the dark, but maybe an option I ordered is the difference between flying through QC and getting hung up.

Pretty much everything other than off road or night vision.
