Thanks and congratulations !! Dealer says build week is 2021/11/46. Not exactly sure what it means but hoping it gets delivered by end of year

BMW accepted build today. Not sure how long but at least it is in.

22 X545e,
black sapphire metallic,
M-sport package,
20" bi-color wheels (just want the comfort and life of 20s),
black merino extended leather,
extended shadow line,
anthracite brown poplar trim,
red M calipers,
luxury seating package with multi-countour seats,
parking assistance,
premium package,
rear door shades,
4 zone AC

Only thing that they deleted was the tow hitch.

3% discount from MSRP. Feel fortunate considering what others had offered in CA.

Will get full front end film protection and ceramic tinted windshield and front windows. Black on black beauty.

NRP congrats. I'm ordering Arctic grey 45e too. Hope it's a beautiful color outdoors.
Did you install a Level 2 charger?
Did you get the M Sport package?
Interior color?
Photos?

It is a dealer in AZ which I did not have a relationship with. I had my other X5 serviced there when I had some repairs done as I was passing by. Just sat with the sales manager about 2 months ago and asked what they would do. I told him I was not paying sticker. I kept in touch and ordered a month later. Order at BMW accepted and waiting for scheduling. Part of the 3% is the $750 BMW pays. Not really material who pays.

Not one in CA of the 6 dealers I contacted and 3 of which I had bought from offered anything below sticker. Most were $2K-$5K above. Unless you are in dire need for a car, I would never pay over sticker. That are $$ that are thrown into the fire of depreciation! I sort of need one now with my having >200k miles and I travel a lot. But I would have probably not bought at sticker even now.

Not in the too distant past you could easily get 5-10% off from almost all dealers. What goes around comes around. This will pass and supply will catch up.

It's a great color! We did m sport package and cognac interior. Have not installed a level 2 charger yet. Wife only commutes 10-15miles daily so usually is back up to charge before next day on level 1.

NRP it looks so beautiful in the sun. I'm going with the Arctic Gray, m sport package and cognac interior. Which trim did you get inside?

In your last photo in the garage, you have a shadow light on the floor, which option was that during the build?

I think the pathway lighting is a standard feature.

that's known as the welcome mat (standard feature)

GS2019 · 10-29-2021, 08:55 AM

The pathway/welcome lighting is a cool feature. I have never seen that feature in any video I watched so far. I hope they include that on my build as part of the standard feature.

it will be included as that what a "standard feature" means: every vehicle gets it. there's been no indication that it's going to be missing despite all the other features that have dropped due to the ongoing supply shortages. keep fingers crossed, though

nZtiZia thanks! do you recall all are the features BMW dropped so far? I may need to rethink going with X5 45e or not.

TCBavarian · 10-29-2021, 10:24 AM

If anyone is looking for a quick instock 45e that's nicely equipped I posted that my dealer had one. Just arrived. Don't know if it checks the options you like but I'm hearing of a lot of folks jumping ship because of the touch screen.

Check your local inventory. Maybe something close exists and has the essential features

surely! peruse this thread. it has an ongoing list among the posts
Touch Screen Option Credit Coming? https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1869843

i have a MY21, but despite all the deletions of the MY22, the 45e is still the only hybrid SAV I'd purchase right now.
