Not sure what is going on and who to believe lol.

I did speak to BMW customer relations and brought up the Laser light non availability for May production and they confirmed to me (however correct and believable they are) that if my order went through for the build with the options that I picked then that means it will come with the car. I asked him that what if it delays the production by 4 weeks or so just waiting for that part if there is a shortage and he said if your build was accepted and started production then that would not be the case. Let's see what happens - keeping my fingers crossed!
Oh wait - the status just changed from today morning as "Entered production queue" to just now as "quality check". This tells me that their tracking system is not updated as regularly as it should be.

Anyone has any idea how long does it take now from this point on till it gets delivered? Also what is the build code for Quality check and other build codes?

And now the status changed in less than 24 hours to dispatches from factory! Wohoooo. Hopefully this shouldn't take more than another 3 weeks to get here. Anyone with any experience of how long it takes from this stage to get to the dealership in San Jose CA?

From what I have heard from the dealer it seems that the longest time is from the dispatch time to delivery as it has to travel across the country which takes about 1 week to 10 days and then it goes to the VPC where it can take up to a week before leaving for the dealership so all in all 3-4 weeks minimum from the dispatch stage. Keep us posted when you get yours. What was your production order date?

Status change from Friday last week being Dispatched from factory to "at the port" with an estimated date of arrival in Oxnard VDC in CA of 5/12 - wohoooo. This is moving faster than what I expected. Even my SA at the dealership is surprised.

Finally picked up my X5 40i yesterday. Here is my build:

- Carbon Black X5 40i with M Sport package
- Black Vernasca leather with Poplar Anthracite trim
- 20" M740 wheels with RFT's
- Executive package
- Premium Package 2
- Parking assistance package
- Luxury seating package
- Harman Kardon
- Acoustic glass
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Heating and cooling front and rear seats with steering wheel and armrests
- M Sport Brakes

Here is the timeline from the day the order was placed till it got delivered to the dealership:

4/13 - order placed
4/16 - entered production queue
4/26 - enroute to the OXnard, CA VDC
5/10 - vehicle at the dealership and PDI done - ready to be picked up by me
5/13 - I picked up the vehicle

3.5 weeks from ordering to delivery is amazing. Even the SA was super surprised that it was that quick and he has never seen that before, especially for a busy market like the bay area in CA.

Spent 1.5 hours before signing any paperwork and did a thorough check including had the genius try the back up parking and parallel parking to ensure it works the way it is supposed to. Checked for the wireless charging apple pay issue and no Apple pay screen popped up. The weather widget is working fine and so is navigation.

Looking forward to driving this machine - super excited as I am upgrading from a E90 LCI that I drove for 10 years and my first SUV/SAV ever. Will take some pictures and post them once the car comes back from the shop on Sunday after a full frontal PPF and window tints.

Congrats for your speedy delivery.
I picked up mine yesterday too, but my order date was 03/09, which went smoothly to production and dispatch (04/02) and then took more than one month to get Oxnard (~05/07)..

still need to figure out all the settings...

Hello everybody,

I'm from Barcelona and I've been waiting for an X5 40i for 2 months. Delivery scheduled for mid-July.

I need a favor, someone that your X5 40i has been manufactured after May 7 could you indicate the first two letters of the frame and the first 2 numbers? I know that on May 7 the LL27999 was made and there I lost the track.

Thanks a lot!

Tracking for Military orders?

Hi guys, perhaps I missed it, but is there any option for military order tracking? I cannot register my 2011 M3, 2017 X3 in" My Garage" or get tracking info on my current 2019 X5 build.
