My BMW journey

My BMW journey:
My car build:
-2021 X5 45e Xdrive
-Xline
-Manhattan green metallic exterior
-Canberra beige Vernasca leather interior
-Anthracite brown poplar matte finish wood trim
-19” V spoke wheels, all season run-flat
-Parking assistance package
-Premium package
(Lost Harman Kardon audio system, but got it back 2 weeks later and I have it)
-Luxury seating package (ventilated front seats and massage function in front seats)
-The hybrid comes standard with Air Suspension so I did not have to stress about losing the AS.

My deal (I am located in South Florida and ordered with a South Florida dealership, who matched the price from Global Imports from Atlanta):
Total MSRP with destination included $73,345
Discount $7,310 (9.97%)
BMW FS rebate $2,500 (0.9% APR)
Taxes, fees, tags, etc $5,620
Total price of the car: $69,155

My time line (started to look for the car in beginning of January):
02-18 ordered the car
02-25 order received
03-19 scheduled for production
Week 15, Apr 05-Apr 10
03-31 production begins
04-15 entering assembly line
04-15 awaiting carrier assignment
04-16 dispatched from factory
04-19 arrived at dealership
04-20 car in the garage
I followed the build in BMW site , in MyGarage, but also called Genius line at 844 443 6487 (just once a week, on Mondays).

-I installed an ChargePoint level 2 charger (Nema 14-50 plug, in case I want to move it on a plug). Bought in on Amazon. It is hardwired installed, with 4 AWG wires on a 70 amps breaker.

Thank you all for your help and your advice!
First time I walked into the dealership, they told me their sad stories and how they can not offer more than a 2% discount. I went home, signed up on couple of forums and did my homework. Yes, a lot of reading, calculus, phone calls and emails, but that translates to a lot of savings. Totally worth it!
Good luck to you all, stay safe and drive safe!
Pictures will follow as soon as I figure out how to post them.
