Ordered a new X5 xDrive40i(Week 44 Build)

Ckochese · 10-06-2023, 07:47 PM

I’m in western NY and it was a very quick process. Loving the 40i. Good luck with it.

Understood. I should be able to change the options up until it hits status 150, correct?

What’s not to like about M sport pro?

I was finally able to convince my wife over the weekend and updated our build to add the M Sport with the professional package and changed the color to Brooklyn Grey Metallic.

Wow, that’s a big win! Have you seen Brooklyn grey in person?

We did see an M2 at the dealership with Brooklyn Grey. The simplicity of the color makes it so appealing to me.

Indeed! Glossy paint too, and high contrast with the M sport package.

Just moved to production begins status and see a VIN assigned. I am currently showing production date of 11/02 using the F12 process.

People use the numbers rather than the description or you can use the "F12" process to see the number and now that you are Production Begins you can get your production date.

That's awesome! My date was moved up to 11/2 a few days ago. It's getting pretty real.

I'm sure that, like me, you all have been reading and thinking an inordinate amount about driving, etc. There are SO MANY nearly identical superficial YouTube reviews! But for the 50e, the one linked below is by far my favorite. Will 250kph out-run a Wisconsin State Trooper?

...not gonna try it! 😇

The highlights are at 8:20 and beginning 12:20...

You are right behind me there! I checked the production tracker this morning but not seeing any movements yet. Almost there!

I did come across this video and have watched it multiple times since

Venture430 · 11-01-2023, 07:47 AM

Woke up to a pleasant surprise. Looks like it jumped through couple of steps overnight. Hopefully it sails right through QC and we are able to pick it sometime next week.

Venture430 · 11-01-2023, 12:02 PM

Just checked and it has advanced to QC. Does anyone know what final assembly is following QC?

Getting it ready for shipping, putting in the protective covering, etc.

It has now advanced to Awaiting carrier assignment. Do you think Saturday delivery is possible for Chicago suburbs?
