2021 x5 M50i delayed
Placed my order 7/13 with an allocation for week 32 production. Talked with CA last week and it has been pushed back to week 36 (1st week of September)....
Production line is backed up, I'm sure COVID related. Hopefully no more delays. I opted for the red brake calipers over the blue as well as carbon fiber trim (I think these were new for '21 options). I opted for the 741M wheels because I didn't want 22's and I got the spare tire. So hopefully, I can switch it out to non-RFTs when it's time. Hopefully Michelin will have this tire size in production. I considered the x5M comp and the cayenne GTS, but ride quality as a DD and lack of factory trailer hitch killed the x5M. maddening options and lack of standard tech killed the GTS (couldn't justify a 35k price difference with options).

I placed order about the same time for my M50i, and have VIN and in Stage 3 - Production Begins. FWIW, my production number is about 1,100 lower than yours (assuming they are sequential), so it could just be the allotment your dealer had for you.

Yeah, my CA called me as soon as he got his first allotment, so either he was wrong about week 32 or it actually got pushed back. I'm looking forward to it but can wait the extra month (no biggie).

I do think your callout about red brakes and carbon interior may also have a potential role in the delay as well. Covid/Suppliers blah blah blah. Will be interesting to watch autotrader et al for pics of 2021s hitting dealers with Red brakes.

Ok, I guess I am still on week 32 production. Saw this online:
Also, my CA told me that the production is locked in and should be completed by 8/17.
