What it really comes down to is just being smart about the process, read up on it, know all the numbers and details, dealers love people that just come in and pay MSRP and don't know anything, but if you come in smart and know something you are more likely to get a good deal and they are less likely to try any of the typical profit adders on you. I find they shoot pretty straight when they know your stuff and back off right away on any other attempts to add profit since you will know it is happening. Then it is a relatively level playing field both you and the dealer know where all the money is and you are just agreeing on both sides to how much they will make no games.

Just order a 2019 X540i through a out of state dealer. received a good discount and financing rebate. My wife wanted to add options that will not be available until first part of 2019. The dealer told me that they cannot place the order with the factory and have our order on hold for a few months until these options are available.
I am ok with the current ordered options but like to keep my wife happy ! Does anyone know if that is really true that we can not pre order options ? |

Place order before a particular option is available
My wife wanted to add Option 418 - Luggage Compartment package (mainly for the power sliding cargo cover). It should be available in Jan 2019.
My dealer told me that they have to wait until January to put my order in and some rebate incentives may no longer be available by then ! |

Maybe you already know this and or don't care if you have it, but ZDY Driving Assistance PRO Package is available one week later than your current build week for the same price as ZDB Driving Assistance Plus - I have ZDY on order and a week 49 build.

Yeah, that's a good point. I just texted my dealer and asked him to check into changing it to ZDY, should know how it changes the build tomorrow.

Good to know that you could order your car in 2018 and have a build date in 2019 when your ordered options are available.
I will call the dealer tomorrow. Hope it is not too late because the factory already scheduled my order for production, not sure which week yet. thanks for the info. ! |

ZDY is the same plus it adds 5AR Extended Traffic Jam Assistant for limited access highways. So basically ZDY is supposed to ad a more advanced autonomous driving mode on major highways with indefinite hands off the wheel in the right situations. If forget what the max speed it, but it is designed for in traffic, so it is 49 or 59 mph I think.

Is that all? I was hoping for 80 mph turnpike speeds where I could take a nap for an hour... Sigh...

If your order status is 112 or before you can change it, if it is 150 status or higher you cannot make changes.

112 is scheduled for production
150 is started production So as long as on mybmw.com it just shows scheduled you can still make changes.

That would be my guess is that it will just be delayed - I was originally week 50 with ZDY but they moved it up to week 49. The order guide just says 12/18 so not sure when it is exactly available - my dealer could not give any specifics on when it exactly would be available, so either it will be available 12/1 and that is why the order was moved up or they will delay it if it isnt.
