2019 X5 40i

my dealer mentioned on Monday Feb-04 that he has received approval to start production of vehicle on Feb-08, however he still does not have a production order number as of today...
i suspect they don't have an allocation for the x5 with 3rd row seat and just coming up with some random dates to buy some time.... I don't fully understand on how this ordering works for BMW. If my dealer does not have an allocation for Feb, do I have to wait few weeks just to get the production number. |

My order was placed for a 40i with the 3rd row when my dealer got his allocation today.
They gave me a production number, but when I called BMW Genius, he told me that it's tentatively scheduled for build week 14. |

at that point you get the true 3 row X7 if the car isn't out of your price range. I feel like the X5 with 3 rows is more a short trip sort of vehicle since the 3rd row is comically small

It was the only way I could get the air suspension without the IAS. I'm also hoping that this model will allow the second row to recline a bit, but I'm not counting on it. The X7 is just too big for me now that my kids are grown. |

Does it make sense? Instead of getting something that improves performance (IAS -- I have it and love it), azulita gets something he doesn't even want and is not useful to him (third row seat).

I've been told the same. Week 14 for a build with 3rd row and Laserlights. I have a production/order number but that's it.

When you consider the target audience, for £1400 the 3rd row is a steal. |

I understood it as the 2nd row reclines forward to allow for more room in the back (and ease of access), but it doesn't recline backwards more than the X5 with only 2 rows. So basically if you have 4 short people (kids) wanting to sit back there you can adjust the 2nd row and split the difference between the 2nd and 3rd row.

I have the third row. It reclines about 10-15 degrees, like an economy airline seat - not much but you notice the difference. The mad part is that the 2nd row doesn't slide if you don't have the third row - I find it hard to believe this is true given most other brands now allow you to slide back and forth.

Forget the head height - 3rd row is better than being in the back of a 911 but unless you are a child, your knees will be against the 2nd row. If you lower the middle section of the 2nd row then it's very usable. It's a compromise but they are genuinely useful seats. I will be getting a tow-mounted rear luggage carrier to cope with the luggage but otherwise there is enough room for 6.
