Mine would be TBM with ivory extended, but wifey doesn't like ivory and wants coffee extended. Trying to picture how Tanzanite will go with coffee.

I chose Full merino white ivory/night blue. Honestly any interior color will look good, imo

No, but you can order through your dealer. BMW sure is taking their sweet time updating their website though.

Agreed

What are your predicted thoughts on the ride, dynamics and comfort for the upcoming x5m50i ?

Will it be a combination of luxury and tech like the 2019 go5 and handling/performance of F85 (x5m) giving us the best of both worlds ?

Think of it as a 2019 X5 50i M Sport with DHP, just with more power. Luxury and tech is like any current G05.

Just got my production start week, 37. Mid Sept.
guess is mid late Oct for Delivery.

Are you saying that the suspension for the M50i will be the similar to a regular 50i with DHP? B/c you can get DHP as an option for the M50i.

Apologies, I over simplified the generalization and did not word it as accurately as I should have.

For the 2020 M50i, M GmbH division tuned the standard 2VF Adaptive M suspension damper settings, bushings, spring rate to complement the M50i increased power and performance.

M50i's engine is the same twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 as the 50i, the two are different enough to gain their own engine codes. The 50i uses the N63B44M3 unit, while the M50i uses the N63B44T3, the same version of the engine that's found in the M850i and refreshed 7 Series.

M50i enhancements to the engine relative to the 50i's unit include a block made of a new aluminum alloy, a viscous damper on the crankshaft, stronger pistons and piston rings, and an iron coating on the cylinder walls. The eight-speed automatic has also been tweaked and now has a launch-control function.

We have been given the same production week with speculation we would do PCD approx three weeks later. Having done several PCDs it has always been a month after production.

Leaving me with a bit of confusion here. I've never done a PCD before. Are you saying that on all of your prior PCD's you've had the option from PCD to pick the car up about 3 weeks after build complete, and your actual deliveries have been closer to a month than 3 weeks, based on scheduling?

I have a build complete on 8/5 car which I am holding out hope that I can PCD before Labor Day weekend. PCD said it's unlikely that a vehicle produced in any month would be PCD ready in that same month. I'm hoping the 3-3.5 week standard applies to me, which could make 8/30 feasible.

We have performed PCD three times and each time it has been 29-31 days after the vehicle rolled off the line at Plant Spartanburg. They only have the ability to deliver eight (max) vehicles per day and this also includes BMW models not built at Plant Spartanburg as well as redelivery of European delivered vehicles (if owner has elected to do such). Note, your BMW Center should have had you select 2-3 possible dates for PCD. The PC will attempt to accommodate you, but there are no guarantees.

Given our past experience, I totally concur with that statement.

Circling back to update you on my experiences with this PCD attempt.

Car was completed on 8/5/2019. PCD confirmed for 8/29/2019. 24 days from build complete to PCD. Color me

So who will be the first one here with an M50i? I am trying to do a PCD end of September on mine. Anybody expecting to get theirs sooner? Can't wait to see real life photos.

Nice - looks like you got Phytonic Blue too?

I got Phytonic with full black merino, 21" wheels and anthracite matte trim. I got all options except rear seat entertainment, night vision, trailer hitch and rear heated seats.
