X5 M50D - Ordered!
Well, it's official... My M50D is ordered!
Apparently the engine is being discontinued, so I'm especially happy to have gotten my order in. Not sure if the car will be produced as a 2020 or 2021, but it will be one of the last M50Ds. Here are my build specs: Black Sapphire Metallic Ivory Full Merino Leather Interior 22" 742 M in Black Active Rear Wheel Steering Air Suspension Integrated Garage Opener Cooled/Heated Cupholders Sun Protection Tinting Soft Close Doors Acoustic Glass Storage Package (electric cargo cover, etc.) Panoramic Moonroof Ventilated Seats Comfort Seats Crafted Clarity crystal shifter M Seatbelts Extended Heated Seat Package/Cold Weather package Extended Leather Dash BMW Individual Piano Black Trim 4 Zone Climate Ambient Air Massage Seats Parking Assistant Plus Drive Recorder Night Vision Individual Black Alcantara Headliner Extended Exterior Shadowline Trim Innovation Package (not sure if it's called that in the US, includes Laser lights, Comfort Access, Driving Assistant Professional and HUD) Entertainment Package (Harmon Kardon Audio, Wireless Charging, Wi-Fi) Long list, but I think I'll be more than pleased with the car. I decided AGAINST the Sky Lounge (too cheesy IMHO) and B&W Audio. I would have loved the Audio but couldn't justify it. I'll just have to make sure I never ride in a B&W equipped X5 now... Not looking forward to the wait, but here are some pics to hold me over:

I had Oyster (also very light) interior on my 750i and didn't have problems with it. Just had to make sure to clean and condition regularly. That being said, I don't wear much raw denim anyways. It's like having white sneakers: regular spot cleaning is much easier than having to "rescue" them down the road.

My order went in around the same time I believe. I also got last week of May as a delivery date. Unfortunately, in Berlin, the current wait for registration (getting plates approved and registered) takes around 6-7 weeks. I'm trying to find a way around that, but it's not looking good. Other German states do it in 2 days.

I have driven about 30 miles after getting the car which was a slight problem with payment, but once sorted and paid for the car I was away and I had a very big grin. Cant wait to upload some pics on here and wait to see some pics of your car too. |

Thanks! Just got the call from the dealer today. The car is there. BUT, and its a BIG BUT (10 yr olds don't laugh) -- apparently BMW is having some internal network issues or something, and they can't release the paperwork for me to get the car registered, which needs to happen BEFORE I pick it up.
This wait is KILLING me man!
