First Timer Order 45e
Owned one BMW in the past an F10 550i, but this will be our first custom order, and our first X5 - also our first PHEV.
We placed our order on 12/28/21 with a NC dealer with allocation for January. As of today it is showing as scheduled for production. We are expecting a mid-February delivery at the factory in Spartanburg - easy trip for us. Carbon Black Exterior Coffee Marino Leather Interior M Sport Package w/ Standard 20" Brown Ash Grain Trim Executive Package Drivers Assist Package Luxury Seating Package Parking Assist Package Added option of heated armrests After we submitted our order, was given the option of adding the wireless charging which we declined. Initial build sheet shows no deletions (at least as of yet). We were given a little over 1% off of the MSRP and also a $1,000 rebate from my wife's corporate partnership. Overall, we're happy with the build and experience thus far. Looking forward to delivery at the factory. Monitoring for any potential deletions as well as praying we'll have the option to upgrade stereos prior to the build. |

Congratulations and hopefully the wait won't be too bad. Good luck, enjoy and be safe.

They just didn't want to bother with it, it is available.

Because we are trading, logistically it may be a little more trouble that in it is worth for us. We have to complete the paperwork/trade a "few days" before the delivery so that the factory has everything. That means not having our trade for those few days (plus the added complication of being 90 minutes from the dealer). I'll try to keep the thread updated as to how the transaction is going and add details on the delivery. |

That was kind of my feeling. Everyone is different. But I thought about it and we've had three cars that had it, and I have never used it. It seems like it is always in an inconvenient place, or the phone is too large. I had a Cadillac CTS that had it when it was a "wow" feature but it was only big enough for iphones and my samsung didn't fit. My wife's Lincoln Aviator (x5 replacing it) has it in the console, which is silly in my opinion. But everyone is different. If you actually use it and enjoy using it, it's probably worth 500.

Update:
Received confirmation yesterday that the performance center has scheduled our delivery for 2/16. One minor inconvenience is having to drop our trade off on 2/14 and complete the transaction paperwork. For other's use/questions: The performance center would allow to change the date to any business day within a two week period after 2/16 (subject to availability). They indicated Friday is the most popular day. It can be cancelled and the vehicle routed to the dealer, but if it is a vehicle that is being shipped to the performance center, once it ships, it cannot be cancelled or you have to pay to ship it to the dealer. Online tracker is still showing scheduled for production No deletions as of yet, but will continue to monitor until it hits production. |
