Question for the OP. When did you set up the pick up date and how did the process go? Ours just entered production today and we're curious how the process works. Email? Phone call? From someone at the Performance Delivery Center I presume? How far along was the car when you set it up?

12/10/18 - placed order (and told dealer I want to pick up in SC) 01/07/19 - Production Begins (reminded dealer about SC) 01/11/19 - got email with the details. My dealer had never done this before, and it was clear I was causing him more work that he didn't want to do since I am only spending a pesky little $100K. |

Thanks! We are anxiously awaiting that email!
Seems odd your dealer wouldn't have done it before. Hope everything gets straightened out for your pesky little $100K! |

Wow that looks great! I haven't seen that color in person, nor did I ever see Coffee leather in person, I've just been relying on online pictures. That is one of the best shots of this color I've seen. Hope mine looks just as good!

01/17/2019 - It seems like they worked on it overnight -- it went thru "Assembly in progress" and is now on "Quality Check".
The next step will be 'final assembly' and then 'ready for transport', but since I'm picking it up, that should mean it's all done. We'll see... |

Some more pics

The colour surprised me, as i was expecting to be disappointed as i really liked the space grey on my old F15 40D. But, arctic grey is a really bright metallic dark grey, looks modern and a bit unusual, and a nice half-way between space grey and black.

I’ve combed the internet looking for good artic grey X5 pics and these are the best I’ve seen by far.. You have really calmed my nerves. Like you I was expecting to be disappointed but these pics makes me think I made the right decision. I ended up with 21’s because of these New York streets but damn the 22’s are so nice.

i've always been a fan of big wheels so when the dealer mentioned there are 22s i had to have them!! but, 21s are fine too (the largest wheels on the old F15 i think), and the designs are really smart. i'm a tax accountant, so my friends are laughing at me for picking boring grey ... but i think it looks great so stuff them!!

I would definitely go for a black grill (and if possible, black tailpipe exhaust tips.. that would be superb and in line with the wheels and the bars on the roof |

that's exactly what i've ordered from IND - grill, tips, and roundels in black - i think that will look great without being "too much" - i've modded a few cars in the past and looked at the final position and regretted going too far, but this is my first grown-up car so i need to act my age now (i'm told)
