2021 X5 M50i for my wife - Finally arrived! - 68 days
2021 X5 M50i for my wife.
2-1-2021 Order was submitted to BMW with an official allocation 2-8-2021 Vehicle was scheduled for production 3-4-2021 BMW Genius provided an estimated start of production of 3-15 to 3-21 3-7-2021 According to the tracker, vehicle now has a VIN ... "Production begins" 3-18-2021 AM Exterior body assembly begins 3-18-2021 AM In the paint booth 3-18-2021 AM Entering assembly line 3-18-2021 PM Assembly in progress 3-18-2021 PM Quality check 3-19-2021 Final assembly 3-19-2021 Ready for transportation 3-19-2021 Awaiting carrier assignment 3-22-2021 Dispatch from factory At the port <-- Does not apply 3-24-2021 In transit to out-of-state dealership. 3-30-2021 At the dealership [Out of state] 4-08-2021 Private transport to Texas 4-10-2021 My wife took delivery of her X5 M50i My wife is going to be surprised. She knows the vehicle is on order, but she thinks it will be Carbon Black. Don't get me wrong, I love the Carbon Black, but she really wanted the Tanzanite Blue. She was willing to sacrifice what she wanted to save us the extra $1,950. She is my princess. If she wants blue, well I'm getting her blue ... and I did, but like I said, she doesn't know it yet. Hoping to keep it a secret until she sees it. Last edited by TXDroneRacer; 04-11-2021 at 07:35 AM.. Reason: Updated status details on April 11th, 2021 |

Lucky woman! I'm sure she deserves it! TB is a good color! I would have picked it myself but I wanted AG this time around!
My order was submitted on the same day but I have a 4/14/2021 production scheduled. |

Edited this post... I took Turtle's advice and called a Genius... The order was accepted early February. Estimated production will begin March 7-13. Once production begins, they will be able to provide an estimated completion date. Looking like an Easter gift! Last edited by TXDroneRacer; 02-22-2021 at 01:54 PM.. |

Your dealer can tell you what your production week is or you can give Genius a call, stay on the line to connect to a live person for best results. As you get closer they will be able to give you the exact date.

For those wanting to know what happens when you call the BMW Genius hotline regarding order status.
Here is my experience. Nothing exciting.

Vehicle arrived at the dealership today. Not the best time of the month because they are very busy ... End of quarter!
I expect to see the vehicle around April 8. |

Wife's SUV on the way to Texas!
Ordered back in January... Finally heading home. Dealer said to expect it Saturday or Sunday. Cool! Hope it arrives during the weekend. |

That's a proper build mate. I wondered about the ivory/blue interior, but eventually went with Tartufo, which looks fantastic. She is going to go nuts for that Tanzanite Blue color. Congrats to her (and you)!
