2022 X6 40i - tracking from order 9/20 to incoming 10/22

So, i was talking about this purchase to some dealers since April this year. It appears that it does not matter where you go, these days there is one price: MSRP. And, in other threads in this great forum some are indicating values above MSRP.

Anyway, I pulled the trigger on X6 40i by mid September, as a local dealer had an allocation for mid-October. SA told me to expect the car by mid November.

Here is how it is going so far

- sent build spec to dealer on 9-20
- sent deposit on 9-22
- BMW changed my build (added some stuff) on 9-22
- I did a minor change in build 9-28
- production began 9-30
- entering assembly line 10-12
- quality check 10-13 (4:20 am CST)
- awaiting carrier assignment 10-13 (7:11 am CST)
- dispatched from factory 10/19 5pm CST
- at dealership! 10/21
- TOOK DELIVERY 10/22 !!! What a nice car!

I had initially 20 inch wheels. SA told me that since I had the M Sport package I needed to have the 22 inch wheels, which added $1,900 dollars - and more expensive tires to replace. Also, they insisted on the full climate package which costed me $1,100 instead of just $400 bucks for the 4 zone a/c control - I really don’t need heated seats in Houston, but whatever.

Now after reading this forum, I wanted to add the parking package, but it was too late, it had already gone on production…

The 22" includes the $150 spare for $0.

Think of the heated seats as heating pads for long trips. I sometimes use them in the summer.

I really, really like the look of the 22" but this is my winter and fishing car. I was really tempted to add them and buying a 20" winter set is less than the reverse. Ultimately, I declined b/c the tire choices are non-existent, wear is atrocious and a thread complaining about noise. All said, I still like the look and I'm sure they'll be fine.

I normally, wouldn't have opted for the Parking Assistance package and wrote off the 3D view as a novelty but the darn CA gave me the keys to an X6 on the lot with the 3D view and I folded. That and I'm hoping w/a 16 year old starting drive, it will eliminate the need to buy new wheels.

You know maybe, I should buy that tire and wheel package insurance this time around

Yeah, thanks for the positive take

Anyway, I think it looks better than my initial build as well. My daughter is in love with these wheels. I saw one x6 M50 with the same color and wheels on the dealership and they look fantastic!

I am like a kid before Xmas eve waiting for this car to get here…

Don’t add them, the car is already super nice as it is!
consider the parking assistance. There is a thread somewhere here that people were raving about it

Nice timeline writeup!

Mine just flipped to entering assembly line, so I appreciate the updates!

Keep us posted on the shipping timeline!

Nice. I can't wait to get ours too. I ordered it last week and I was just told that we are scheduled to pick it up at the factory (performance center) on November 10.
We went with mineral white with coffee interior and 21-inch rims with parking assistance which I selected mostly for the drive recorder.

No movement on mygarage, still “awaiting carrier assignment”…
I’m getting so antsy to receive it, I checked the bmw dealer website, there are a bunch of models ‘in transit’

Anyway, my 2014 x3 w/ the inline 6 motor is still running great, no complaints, but I’m so wanting to drive the X6!

Initial thoughts:
- fantastic car, extremely stylish
- drives very smoothly and with comfort
- 22 inch tires a bit noisy, but adequate nothing major
- black wheels with red calipers look magnificent
- ambient lighting is really cool
- in-line 6 motor with 335 hp has plenty of power, and I felt more acceleration in a short boost when compared to my 2014 x3 with also with an inline 6 with 300 hp. I can’t even phantom the v8 power, but hey if you want to spring another $20k for additional 200 hp or so, go for it
- spacious front seats, comfortable back sits if you are under 6ft (1.8m) tall
- hi-fi sound system is really underwhelming, as we are without the higher end sound systems options currently. This is the area where might spent some more $$$
