2021 X5 M50i for my wife - Finally arrived! - 68 days

2021 X5 M50i for my wife.
2-1-2021 Order was submitted to BMW with an official allocation
2-8-2021 Vehicle was scheduled for production
3-4-2021 BMW Genius provided an estimated start of production of 3-15 to 3-21
3-7-2021 According to the tracker, vehicle now has a VIN ... "Production begins"
3-18-2021 AM Exterior body assembly begins
3-18-2021 AM In the paint booth
3-18-2021 AM Entering assembly line
3-18-2021 PM Assembly in progress
3-18-2021 PM Quality check
3-19-2021 Final assembly
3-19-2021 Ready for transportation
3-19-2021 Awaiting carrier assignment
3-22-2021 Dispatch from factory
At the port <-- Does not apply
3-24-2021 In transit to out-of-state dealership.
3-30-2021 At the dealership [Out of state]
4-08-2021 Private transport to Texas
4-10-2021 My wife took delivery of her X5 M50i

My wife is going to be surprised. She knows the vehicle is on order, but she thinks it will be Carbon Black. Don't get me wrong, I love the Carbon Black, but she really wanted the Tanzanite Blue. She was willing to sacrifice what she wanted to save us the extra $1,950.
She is my princess. If she wants blue, well I'm getting her blue ... and I did, but like I said, she doesn't know it yet. Hoping to keep it a secret until she sees it.

Lucky woman! I'm sure she deserves it! TB is a good color! I would have picked it myself but I wanted AG this time around!

My order was submitted on the same day but I have a 4/14/2021 production scheduled.

My order was submitted on the same day but I have a 4/14/2021 production scheduled.
Wow... I don't have the actual "production schedule" date yet. I got my new M5C a couple weeks ago. She has been driving my M5 because I am working from home due to COVID. Looks like she will be driving the M5 for a couple more months.

Edited this post... I took Turtle's advice and called a Genius... The order was accepted early February. Estimated production will begin March 7-13. Once production begins, they will be able to provide an estimated completion date. Looking like an Easter gift!

Your dealer can tell you what your production week is or you can give Genius a call, stay on the line to connect to a live person for best results. As you get closer they will be able to give you the exact date.

I like the black wheels too. Wife likes the two tone wheels.
Update as of today... Still waiting for production. Hope they don't run out of HUD and Bower electronics.

For those wanting to know what happens when you call the BMW Genius hotline regarding order status.

Here is my experience. Nothing exciting.
  1. I called (844) 443-6487
  2. I pressed 1 for "Production status for my new BMW."
  3. The automated system instructed me to stay on the line.
  4. The automated assistant ask why I was calling...
  5. I could say things like "Vehicle production status" or "Agent"
  6. My first response was "Vehicle production status"
  7. The automated system asked for my production number, so I entered it using the phone number pad
  8. The automated system responded with this message "Vehicle confirmed for production with no confirmed production date yet"
  9. Then the system gave me the option to say "Customer Relations"
  10. I talked with an agent and he told me that my vehicle was a couple weeks away from going into production. Production is expected to start between March 15 - 21.

Vehicle arrived at the dealership today. Not the best time of the month because they are very busy ... End of quarter!
I expect to see the vehicle around April 8.

That's a proper build mate. I wondered about the ivory/blue interior, but eventually went with Tartufo, which looks fantastic. She is going to go nuts for that Tanzanite Blue color. Congrats to her (and you)!
