2021 X6 xDrive40i ordered

Good evening,

My order was placed on Jan 23rd. Status is currently ordered received. I've read a lot of information on these threads. I see very few G06 threads. Almost seems like they're not very popular, but you can't find them on the lots!

2021 X6 xDrive40i

Exterior: Manhattan Green Metallic
Interior: Coffee Vernasca Leather
Premium Package
DAPP
21" wheel 744 rims
Rear manual side window shades

This will be my 2nd BMW so the anxiety is not too overwhelming. This is my first build so it's still pretty exciting.

Congrats! Welcome to the X6 club! (There aren't too many of us...)

Love your choices! Here's my build (same color/leather combos (I did go with Merino)) and a pretty similar rim (I have 741M): 2020 X6, M50i - Production Begins!.

Here are some pics: 2020 X6, M50i.

What did you do for interior trim?

Again, congrats and look forward to seeing the pictures post delivery!!

Thank you! I went with the Coffee Vernasca Leather. I wish the Nappa leather was an option. I had that type of leather in my 7 series.

I wasn't overly anxious until I saw your pics! Very nice!! Hits different when you see it on an owners vehicle and not an artist rendition.

Thank you! Looks like your build got caught up in all the holidays. I've been doing some reading and it seems it's not a long process.

We have Napa in our F15 (wife is driving now...). If you like Napa, did you consider going with the Merino?

I liked the Napa in the F15, I LOVE the Merino in my G06. It has an even softer feel, you get the different stitching, etc.

Checked with BMW this afternoon and my completion date moved up from from Feb 19th to Feb 16th (next Tuesday). Interesting!

Hopefully my X6 will actually be built soon, since it’s on a similar timeline. Got production number on 1/19/21. Moved to Production Begins on 2/2/21, but no status change since.

Production Begins means that a VIN was assigned and parts ordered/allocated. No physical production is done until your production date. If you give Genus (or your dealer) a call they can at least let you know what your production week is, if not the actual day.

Yeah, I know. I had already called the Genius number before the end of January. They told me Feb. 7 - 13.

ETA: Entered assembly line on 2/13.

Did you have the X6 delivered to a local dealer from the factory?

My son and I flew to St. Louis to take delivery of my M5C. It was an inventory vehicle. We had a little snow and sleet. No big deal. We had a great time bring the car back to Houston. We flew up Friday night [Jan 29], stayed in St. Louis. We picked up the car first thing Saturday morning then got on the road. We stopped at a hotel in Little Rock Saturday night and finished the drive home Sunday.

I am still waiting for my wife's X5 M50i to be built. Pretty sure they will deliver the vehicle to Houston though. It has to be delivered from the factory anyways.

The dealer I used is in Mississippi. I went through a broker and no one in my local area would touch the deal he got me. So it's there in MS waiting to be put on a carrier. I had thought about flying there to get it and drive back but it was cheaper for me to have them ship it. Door-to-door it's only about a 9 hr drive. I talked to the dealer today and everything is locked on. So just a little more waiting.

Why didn't the MS dealer offer to have the build shipped from the factory to a local dealer? ... local for you?

It is not up to the selling dealer but rather the local dealer to agree to do a courtesy delivery. Many, probably a large majority, will not do that.

That would make sense as to why it was never offered. From what I've been reading in the forums so far, supports what TurtleBoy said. The broker nor the salesperson brought it up.
