We ordered today: Midnight Sapphire/Tartufo/M Sport 45e
Our first new car, very excited and feeling very lucky to be able to order just what we want: xdrive45e in Midnight Sapphire II (R71), with Tartufo leather, M sport package with blue caliper M brakes. "Premiium Package 2" (no Harmon Kardon available), Extended shadowline trim, Trailer hitch, 20" M Star wheels.
Started at one dealership but had poor experience with salesperson. They wouldn't answer questions, kept changing the subject, pretending they knew things, not wanting us to delete items we didn't want, etc. Went to another dealer and had much better experience. Not sure if got most we could in terms of incentives/discounts, but with the state and federal hybrid credits we are happy. I had planned to post here before we ordered, make sure we were doing it right, but it has now happened lol. The Individual color we really wanted will add 11 weeks they told us. Combined with usual 3-4 weeks, could be 15 weeks. Any feedback on if it could happen faster?? We're ready to wait that long because we are in love with the color combo, don't like the Phytonic Blue. Carbon Black has a lot of blue in certain light, and would have been acceptable, but think the Midnight Sapphire will be perfect. Kind of gamble as they did not have a physical sample we could look at, but I'm optimistic. Anyway, just posting out of excitement and to thank everyone who posts here regularly as I learned a lot reading threads. Cheers! |

I ordered 45e with tartufo leather on mid December. The car just hit Renton, WA few days ago, will be in Alaska in a week or so(depends on a boat schedule). So, as you can see my waiting period was about 8-9 weeks.

Was it the Merino leather that added time? I'm hoping if it does add time it won't add even MORE then the +11 weeks for the paint!

That is a beautiful color choice, but the individual paint will probably add some time. That said, it is just a few weeks wait for what will bring years of enjoyment. Congrats!

Hello sir, curious. Did you receive your vehicle? I'd love to see some pictures of the Midnight Saphire. Having a hard time finding pictures online!
Cheers, Nick

I swear I saw red and blue as options but when I ordered my 45e, blue was the only one listed. Seems like red is only available for the standard x5s

Both red and blue are available for the 45e according to the last pricing guide I saw.

I just tried building through the site again and there is no red option for the 45e. Must be a recent change

That is correct, ignore the build. Ask your CA to spec the Red calipers when ordering.

And once you get behind the wheel and start driving you will not care what color the calipers are and just be enjoying your new X5.
