2024 i5 M60  [0.00]
Ordered X5 M50i

Finally joined the G05 club and placed an order.

X5 M50i
Arctic Gray
Coffee extended merino
Fineline stripe
Executive package
Parking assistance
Driving assistance
Heated front seats, steering wheel, armrests
Front massaging seats
Extended shadowline trim

Just got the production number, so unsure of the build week yet.

I went back and forth on the color combo. First thought of tartufo and brown metallic ash trim, but after seeing some of the pictures, I changed my mind.

The last time I had an X5 was back when I got an E70 around 2008, which was actually my first BMW. Then got three 5 Series in a row and was ready for a change. Drove the M50 at the UDE event and knew I needed that V8 power back. While disappointed that I can't do another European delivery, and not even bothering with a PCD this year, still very excited and can't wait.

Congrats! Great color combo, you'll love it. What's it replacing?

I have a 2018 540. Before that I had two F10 550s in a row. One PCD and two European deliveries.

You'll enjoy having the V8 again! Big jump in power from what the 540 has!

Great build. Did you consider the Dynamic Handling Package? I find it makes a big difference in the handling. Also, might want to consider the $150 compact spare. I mistakenly didn't order one and have big regrets because it's about $900 to add afterwards.

When I ordered my M50i the space-saver spare tire was a $0 cost option.

It depends on what wheels you order. It is included with the 21s and 22s but $150 for others.

I did consider DHP. You can only tick so many options.

Nice build. Are you buying or leasing? If buying, did you talk to your dealer about price yet? Did you get anything off MSRP? I'm about to order the X5 M50i for the wife and I'm trying to get some info for negotiating the price.

Leasing, 10% off through a broker. In either case, leasing or financing, the same discounts should apply.

Just saw it has started production! Originally scheduled for week 49, so I'd imagine an early December delivery.

Nice! I put my order in on 10/20 also, and was told I was scheduled for week 49 as well. But as of this morning, I am still in "Scheduled for Production". Boo.

The status on my Week 49 45e moved to "Production Begins" yesterday. Also hoping for an early December delivery.

I am sure the inline 6 is more than adequate

but no replacement for displacement

Compared to the F10 550 it replaced, I didn't realize a huge difference in performance. But even with the 445 HP on the 550, it was still a heavy car.

Starting to get a bit jealous! My Week 49 is still "Scheduled for Production" as of this morning. Have I mentioned that patience isn't my strong suit?

Getting the status on the Genius line revealed that my car is scheduled for productions on Monday. Being on the east coast and near the VDC should result in a pretty quick delivery.
