Hello all! I'm new to the forums I see I'm not the only lady here, so that's nice!

My 25’ X5 M60i is set for a week 32 build *Aug 5-11

Anyone else here have the same build week? seems like ages away... the genius guy I spoke with said it had something to do with the individual color I selected, Ruby Red II Metallic

Here is the build...

Ruby Red II Metallic
Black Extended Merino Leather
Individual Piano Black Finish Trim
Climate comfort package
Driving Assistance Professional Package
Parking assist package
Executive package
Anthracite Alcantara headliner
Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Sound System
M Sport Professional Package w/ red calipers
Adaptive M Suspension Professional
Front massaging seats
Leather dashboard
Trailer hitch *needed this for my motorcycle trailer

21” M Light Alloy V-spoke Bi-color wheels, Style 915M with mixed runflat

I thought about getting the X7 m60i and looked at the Alpina XB7... but decided on just maxing out the X5 instead... couldn't justify the higher priced X7's for my needs, well not yet anyway lol.

Welcome to the forum. A very nice build, the only suggestion would be to add the space saver spare. Unfortunately you are likely pass the last change date so you wouldn't be able to.

They batch the Individual colors so that is why you are so far out. The first batch for MY25 is in June. That one must be filled up since we have seen others with an August build. Hopefully the wait isn't too bad.

Hi there, thank you 😄

My order was accepted two days after the dealer placed it, so I’m definitely past the point of adding the spare. Even so, the wheels I selected will have run flats and that is why I didn’t add the spare. I figured that would be good enough. I guess I’ll find out… someday 😵‍💫

As for the long wait… I’ll just say once I learned that it wouldn’t be built till August, I realized I picked the wrong week to quit drinking 😂

That is a heck of a build. Color looks great in the build photos. Looking forward to seeing the pictures in August when you get it!

Guess it could be worse.

I decided that I wanted something unique and went with Urban Green (planning on Stealth wrapping it) with Adelaide Grey interior. Picked all the other options aside from the M Driver Package since I am not taking it on a track nor need to go that fast…

Welcome and congratulations! Heck of a vehicle you have coming to you.

[livyosah]

Nice color choices JFS007!


And thank you, Gladiator1972 😄

I’m actually driving around nearly the same X5, just doesn’t have all the options I chose above.

It’s a crazy story about my visit to the dealer and a miscommunication by the sales team when I bought the X5m60i I have. I was told it was towing ready (it wasn’t) and had other features it doesn’t actually have and I didn’t know any better until after the fact… it’s more nuanced than I’m saying just to make this “brief”.

So, I walked away with a ruby red 24’ x5 m60i without what I needed, but the dealer is making it up to me through my order above. They played with the numbers so I don’t lose any money when I trade in what I have for the order that I placed. It was their mistake and they’re making an effort to correct it. I’m pleased with it so far!

And I get to drive around this new x5 then trade it in for another new one lol …what a mess

I got a 24' triumph street triple 765 moto2 last summer and its my first bike I haven't done any track days. I'm obv new to riding, so I don't plan to anytime soon unless I take some additional training.

Do you ride?

I did in a previous life (before my kids were born). Fun times but very dangerous on the street because of people being distracted behind the wheel. Good luck and rubber side down.

Thanks - like you said, there are a lot of cool colors. I have a Sonoma green RS5 and I ended up loving green in different sunlight. I live in the PNW and because of the profound switch in light over the year somehow the green just changes a lot.
