Since they evidently aren't able to give you one from this month's allocations then April's, for May production, would be your next chance.

Maybe, it all depends on when they start rolling it out for the X5 and when yours is built. It is too early to tell.

The press release said 8.5 would roll out in Sept. But was unclear if that was just the upgrade or everything.

Do you happen to know if dealerships get all their allocations for all models once a month? If so, then my dealer should know by now they are not getting a X5 allocation for April.

All allocations have been issued for April production so they would know how many they received. Allocations come out once a month, it has varied a bit but usually the last week of the previous month or the first week of the month. I think it was on the 2nd of this month that they were issued for the X5/X6.

So question. I ordered an individual color. Say I get an allocation next month. Will they build the vehicle and then paint it in 6 months (I hear it adds time). Or will they wait till they can paint the vehicle before they actually start production?

It is painted prior to being built so the production date on the allocation will not apply. They try to batch the Individual colors so it will depend on other orders and their scheduling as to when it is built.

My dealer came clean today. Said they didn’t get an X5 allocation. Larger dealers received them, but only 58 issued nationwide (according to him). My i4 went 112 yesterday for week 14 build (1st week of April). If I get the May build for X5, they could arrive at the same time. At least based on what has been reported here and the i4 Forum.

Congratulations on the order. Not enough of a supply to offer it on all models in all countries.

At this point in 2023, "supply constraints" reads more as a convenient excuse that lets BMW and its product managers off the hook. Much like offering certain paint on certain trims (which cannot possibly be due to supply) or not offering a feature on certain models, lack of xyz on a given trim is far more likely to be a *product* decision than a supply issue. |

Makes no sense to leave money on the table and make it exclusive to certain trims. Its just speakers, not some performance feature or special aesthetic. Each country probably gets a specific "share" of parts and then they can decide how they want to offer options on their cars. X5/X6 sell at a much higher volume in the US so makes sense that here options like B&W get limited to the top trims. |

Of course decisions are made due to marketing, that is always occurring.

This seems like the inertia of conventional wisdom to think supply chain is the governing factor. |

Then you must be in an insulated industry because there are still major issues in many important supply chains.
