Building and have Interior questions
Hello all,
I noticed that Tartufo Merino is no longer on BMW USA configurator as of today. Any reason for this? Also, I went to see a car today with Tartufo, and the dash and doors did not have stitched leather (bottom of the center console did though). I thought this comes with the Merino option. It's no longer listed as an a la carte option on the configurator either. Anybody have any information?

Extended Tartufo are seats, center tunnel, and door pocket armrests. 2019 xLines, stitched SensaTec dash and door was added as standard later in production. For 2020: - all models will have stitched SensaTec dash and door tops as standard - 4M5 leather dashboard is reduced to $850 from $1200

I'm helping my folks here with their next X5. I'm guessing it's impossible to still order Tartufo now on special order car? I'll have to speak with a dealer. The example I saw yesterday is being offered at a good price but I dislike two things about it: carbon black and fineline wood.

I tried the "search inventory" thing already and their system is busted. It says there's no X5s within a 100 mile radius, which is impossible as dealers have them listed on their website.

I just plugged in a San Diego zip code, 92110, chose Arctic Grey Metallic and three X5 40i's and four X7's popped up. I did not see an interior color choice though :-( Try other zips but probably going to your dealer is best or try a few dealers

Call you local dealer ask them to look at the dealer network and provide them the build number from the site, or just tell them what you want. They can look at I believe its any dealer but it might also be limited range... Not sure on that.

This is what I'll have to end up doing.

SD area has so way more X5s that. And I had plugged in my parents' WA zip code and it didn't populate a single car. It's just not a good system.

Same holds true for dealer websites. I've personally visited dealerships and then once home to go there site and the car I test drove isn't listed. What a world, what a world Like Tenac said, I've sat down at dealers, written up what I wanted and they contact or search their network and can swap cars from other dealers to bring in the one I want. |

Will probably settle on Cognac Vernasca. The remaining Merino options suck. White is a nightmare to care for, Black is boring, Coffee is too dark.

Brown interior hues are so beautiful, and easy to maintain as well. I don't understand why people dislike it. This process has become such a headache.

I ordered what I believe are the same seats in mid June: interior code is: MCRI Vernasca leather, designer perforations: Cognac|Black The dealer warned me that the Cognac will likely be discontinued for the 2020 builds. It will be a EU spec, I dont know if this valid for US as well. I guess my G05 will be late 2019 build. I am unaware when they switch over to 2020. I am also wandering whether I will have the SensaTec stitched console, I hope this is the case as I like it much more than the standard soft touch. Do you guys know how to check whether I have the SensaTec dashboard: Inordered the M sport package, Vernasca leather/Cognac and black/perforated. Is the SensaTec standard for this configuration? many thanks! |

Another update, ended up just taking the dive on the Tartufo car I saw the other day. I didn't like the exterior color (Carbon Black) or wood (Fineline...too glossy) but had to compromise somewhere. Just gave up on the custom build lol. Thanks for your help.

Personally speaking, I think you just bought a winning combination of ext/int colors. Since Tartufo is no long offered on 2020's, you've got a color that won't go mainstream. My guess is it will all grow on you and you'll be glad you bought it.

The glass pkg really finishes it off nicely. You feel the quality every time you shift, turn on the car, and use the iDrive controller. It will be my mom's car and she was reluctant on all these luxury touches at first, but now she's excited. I'll be picking it up later in the week.
