I started as a week 48 with about 13 others in these forums. 10 of them have taken actual delivery of their truck (delivered to dealer - prepped - delivered). salfeet84, JLR0523, PhatBoyG, Mtnskier, TLg05, kschac, nyfinest, ghurty, Drago72, etc.... Some over a week ago The rest of us week 48ers: BMV is still in QA with joeruby1. I'm sitting in a parking lot somewhere "awaiting carrier". In the meantime, we're seeing some week 49 trucks fly through QC in under 12 hours and are in transit to the dealer. Can I get a "WTF!?" |

Ya like $500 a day in QC over 1 day - needs to be some incentive for them to move out of QC. You might make money soon!

For the record, my x5 has been “at the port” since 12/5 with an estimated arrival at Oxnard, Ca of 12/20. Rep on the phone said “at the port” means it’s in transit, likely on a train to the Oxnard processing plant. I find it difficult to believe it takes 15 days on train to travel from South Carolina to California. That’s all I know at the moment.

Been in QC for a week, is that a record?
I got VIN/prod begins on Nov 22... Looking unlikely for end of Dec at this rate. Got all extras ex B&W audio 4.0i M Sport Radio silence from dealer |

My week 50 build "began production" on Dec 7. Was supposed to be completed Dec 14 (today). It hasn't moved from production begins. Called Genius today, and he said from his information, it is "highly likely" it will be delayed but he no new completion date. He couldn't tell from his view that any step has begun other than VIN assigned. Guess there's a slow down in more than just QC. If mine sits in QC as long as some of you guys, guess I'll be getting mine in in the spring.....just not sure which year yet.

I just sign the paper on December 8. My rep said something about end of December production. I’m wondering how long to take to get the car after sign paper with dealer?

It means it should complete production week 1 (although lately that has been delayed 1 to 2 weeks with a lot of builds.) . Once it completes then it has to get shipped and to your dealer, can be 1-3 weeks depending on location in the US - Portland Oregon is about worst case for shipping 2-3 weeks to get to Oxnard CA and maybe another few days on top fo that - I would say end of January would be a good guess.

Just changed to "Dispatched from Factory after sitting at "Awaiting Carrier" for 5 days. I'll keep my fingers crossed for delivery next weekend but after all the time it's taken so far, all bets are off
Seems like every step in the build process has been slowed down/delayed. Maybe it's less people in the plant due to the holidays. Maybe the weather in SC has caused issues with parts supply and shipping vehicles out via truck transport. Maybe some of the "in the field" issues with shipped X5s are starting to come in and get addressed? Hard to say - maybe a number of things, but it took BMW 3 days shy of a calendar month to get my build from Start of Production to Dispatched from Factory. It looks like a few others will be well longer than me. I'll be routing for you BMV and joeruby1. |

Lumpy - call BMW Genius. My garage still says waiting carrier assignment, but Genius says it’s on a truck and will be delivered on 12/17. |

Thanks Heinzena - that's great news. I called them yesterday and they let me know I was not on a truck - and, because I was delayed, no estimate on delivery. That changed this AM - Pretty happy to be switched to dispatched! Will check with a Genius Monday to see what they have in their system. I don't want to jinx myself but it looks like I'll be able to squeeze in a delivery before Christmas. When I was originally a week 46, dealer was thinking before Thanksgiving - been a long haul.
