X5 M50i ordered in Lime Rock Grey
My wife is finally coming in to the fold. Now, my M5C won't look as lonely in the garage.
Still waiting to get confirmation on the color request (Nardo is her #2). She prefers lighter colors, doesn't want to stand out too much (good luck, right?), but also doesn't want to put yet another white X5 out into the world. A few of the details: 22" 742 in bi-color Tartufo extended Merino CF trim Dynamic Handling Pkg (absolute must!) Parking Assist Heated everything / massage seats Extended shadowline trim I'll certainly send updates and pics as things develop.

Congratulations, hopefully the wait isn't too bad.

10 weeks and nothing... Curious what others think about this timeline. It took 3 weeks for BMW to confirm our build as we had spec'd it. We're now 7 weeks past that date and the car is still only "scheduled for production". I know the site is often late on updates, but if they still haven't begun the build this seems substandard for BMW. Are there known parts shortages?

I was interested in ordering my 45e in Lime Rock, but my dealership advised me it would likely take 3 months for an individual paint option. Because of that I went with Mineral White. They just received a 40i in Nardo Gray that was ordered with a February allocation. Based on that, your wait doesn't seem out of the ordinary.

I wonder about the timeline of usual scenario for M50i without individual painting, just my dealer said it usually took 6 weeks but now I start to worry about my car's timeline (I ordered M50i at the end of April with mineral while color) |

Thanks, everyone. Yes, the limerock is an individual color. I guess BMW's ears were burning because the VIN was assigned this morning (finally)! From what I understand of the process, I'm hoping it's all bolted together in the next three weeks. I'll still reach out to a genius for an estimated date, which should be fairly accurate now.

The key here is they ordered an individual paint color. Those take more time than standard paint codes.

I had Dravit like you did and mine was about 5 weeks from order to delivery. It would have been 4 had the carrier assignment not been messed up from the storms in the south.

Update: no progress was reported until May 23, when it went from scheduled to awaiting carrier assignment. The whole build process went unreported. It was dispatched today and may arrive by the end of the week. Pictures soon!
