Great info in this thread. Ordered a 45e to replace my M50d in late November. Dealer (Knights North Staffs) said they had a slot allocated which they could use which would mean vehicle delivered to them mid end Feb. I said I’d pick it up 1 March. When I chased this week they’re now saying delivery has slipped and it ‘may’ be with them in April. My issue is that I’m probably going to need 4 new tyres plus brake pads and brake fluid changing if it slips into April. They’ve already said they’ll as honour trade in value but is it reasonable to ask for a loan vehicle from the 1st March so I don’t incur the extra costs on current vehicle?

Agreed about this thread. Nice to have a UK section given how many differences there are between the US and European X5s. |

Mine won't have HK which is a shame but I'm going to try and get hold of the plug and play bimmertech amp. Reports from others on here say it makes the hifi system sound better than the HK. |

Expecting car shortly but have bought the Bimmertech Amp and Alpha One speakers in anticipation, results are supposed to be good but I'll let you know after I've fitted 'em!

Where did you order them from out of interest? The bimmertech site is all in $ but I did notice they had a UK phone number I was going to try. |

Haven't posted on this thread as haven't really had anything to add from what others are saying.
Ordered car in June, build October and 'on hold' since. Got word today that it set sail from Germany yesterday and they are looking at delivery W/C 31st January. Missing the HK and wireless charging but air suspension is on it. Hope others with a similar timeline also have cars on the open seas as well!! |

Ok, as per the post just above mine, just had an email from our SA at the Dealership confirming
"IVSR is showing delivery of 01/02/2022 - 06/02/2022" Does anyone know what IVSR is? I would expect ours is on the same ship mentioned above, I immediately reminded the SA that we still dont want delivery until March 1st, he had to discuss with the "New Cars Manager" who wasnt able to confirm and mentioned something about a "10 day price guarantee" anyone know what that might mean?? After being very patient I now dont want to be 'bullied' into taking delivery before 1st March as it will have an impact on value when we dispose of it. Any help gratefully appreciated. |

Just as a comparison, I told my SA I will pick it up the first weekend in March and he said no problem mate I'll get that sorted. I said it'll be a 22 plate yea he said it will. This 10 day price guarantee sounds like BS to me. Funny how the price hasn't changed during this 3+ month delay, but all of a sudden there is 10 days left on it. What would they do if your were on holiday or was isolating etc. What about stock cars they get hold of, the price doesn't change every 10 days since taking stock of it. Tell them to give their head a wobble and you'll see them in March. |

I kicked up a bit of a fuss explaining how much I've been messed around so he went away to see what he could arrange. He called back and now on Wednesday they're giving me an M5 until my car comes. God knows how I've fluked that one. |

Lengthy chat with my dealer this weekend, SA is saying my car definitely on a boat today (Sunday 23rd).
He also explained that BMW will not honour what was my Q2 deal from June last year when I ordered the car if I delay delivery longer than 10 days after it is available The Q2 deal is too good to lose, 2.9% APR, Ł1.5k BMW contribution, Dealer enhancement and a lower "option to buy" price at the end of the PCP deal. Cant quite remember the numbers but something like currently Ł28,500 to buy at the end compared to a revised Ł31,750. SA explained that BMW will want as many cars out in January as possible hence putting this 10 day rule in, even if the arrives 29th and is available form then they will call it a Jan car. SA explained that if it slips into Feb there is less pressure as Feb car sales are naturally low.. Just need to hope there is as small logistical delay and it isnt ready with the dealer until at least 1st Feb... Car is arriving, thats the main thing... |

My vehicle has been in Bremmerhaven for over three weeks and have been told it's not going to be released for at least another week..... I've read pretty much every review and watched more YouTube videos on the G05 than I care to mention, the wait for a new car has never been more torturous!

Can't believe mine was built on the 20th October and has just been sat collecting dust. |

Some vids I've watched are into double figures.... I've even resorted to watching reviews in foreign languages that's how bad it is!

Long time lurker and new member here from Ireland. Hello everyone!
I am in the process of trading my X5 40e for a new 45e which, similar to many in this thread, has been sitting in Bremerhaven for the last three or four weeks... My dealer sent me a printscreen of their system yesterday which shows the car in status 181 (Waiting on domestic dispatch) but it has "Technical Campaign" against it as a current release date so I'm really not sure if any works are now complete or not and if it is just sitting in a queue waiting to be shipped (dispatched) out PS. Great thread and forum - definitely one of the best sources of info around |
