Anyone ordered X5 40i with red calipers recently?

I ordered my X5 40i early this month and this is my first custom build BMW. I asked my dealer for my build code last week and turns out the build is missing some key features with the build sheet I signed.

One of them is the red calipers, I like the red calipers on G05 but my dealer told me the red caliper is temporarily unavailable on G05 build. Not sure it is real or they just want me to accept the current build.

Has anyone ordered 40i with red calipers recently? Any data point will be appreciated.

if it's BMW Portland, then it's lie.

There is no shortage of red M-sport brake.

I have a build in the queue for a 40i Msport with red calipers. Expected delivery mid December. No issues from what I’ve seen.

I got my MY2021 X5 40i with red calipers - sounds like the dealer is trying to cover his ass for making a mistake.

What is your production status when you look in your garage on the My BMW website? Are you at "Production Begins" yet? That would be Status 150 and too late for any changes.

If not, you are still status 111 or 112 and there would still be time for your dealer to make changes to your build.

Yeah already helped the OP. PM’d him the same information. They never gave him production order number.

Hooked him yesterday with another dealer at 10%. PM me if someone else is interested in WA, OR.

I had a week 45 build (November) and had no issue getting red calipers. Looks great with Carbon Black & M Sport package!

Picked up my 40i on Saturday and just got her back from the detailer to get PPF and graphene coating put on.
