When we did it in 2019 (highly recommended), it was a lot of coordination work for the sales advisor (not hard work, but just took time), so this might be another factor, as to why a dealership would downplay the availability.

For the performance segment, specifically the skid pad, you get to drive an M car, which was a hoot and a half. (This was day of delivery of my 45e, of which all other driving was done in a 45e.)

They had 45e's? All of the X5's there were just 40i's that I saw and that's what we all drove (X5 40i, 45e buyers).

What’s the lead time looking like for PCD lately? 2 weeks I’m fine with, but if it’s like 6 I may just skip it. Still waiting to hear back from them about the date.

I don't know if they are still offering it, but it is worth asking about. |

PCD Lead Time
Quote:
My SA put a request in for me on 4/14 and the first available date is 5/25. The letter they sent my SA was a bit ominous...it basically said take this date or we don't know if we'll be able to offer you another date due to how backed up the program is. |

Well that doesn’t sound too bad, my CA sent the request about 6 days later, so if my PCD date is ~6 days after yours, I won’t mind that. I should find out on Wednesday considering their “10 business day response” thing.

Were you able to do the performance delivery ? I am scheduled for Jan 11 and will also be driving to Bay Area over 3-4 days doing multiple stops/stays. Can you share your experience and provide and recommendations?

https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2077733 The bottom line: Do PCD if you possibly can. (The general rule of thumb is that you have to do the PCD between two and six weeks after production, and your sales associate has to reserve the date for you.)

You don't have to participate in the different activities. Work with them and they may be able to schedule your pick up time first session.

You still have to complete the paperwork and provide funds at the dealership ahead of PCD, so you may want to make it one trip rather than 2 -- trip 1 to dealership, trip 2 to PCD.

No need to make a trip to the dealership, that is all done by email/electronically.
