Order Recommendations Miami X5 45e British Racing Green

Based on some recent rumors that the M sports package won't be available for 21 models, I am looking to place my order for a 45e in British Racing Green ASAP. Any dealers and sales reps in south Florida that can be recommended to place the order? I also considered Nardo Gray, but I think BRG may be more unique.

You can try but unlikely that an Individual paint allocation will be available in May.

I recall reading in another thread that Individual paint adds about 11 weeks to your build time. Production likely won't start right away because either it's quite the process to change the paint stations for Individual colors and/or Individual colors are loaded in the paint stations less frequently than non-Individual colors.

also, Individual paint's application has implications. the sensors for the Lane Change Assistant are affected so this feature is disabled if you get Individual paint. plus, its thickness and chemical makeup can negatively affect other sensors, so they have to manually test to ensure any other Assisted Driver features are working properly, which adds more time to your build, too.

I can see why BMW calls it "Individual"... a Very Individual Production (VIP) :P

There seems to be few regular allocations left for May so it is likely there are no Individual ones. Of course there could be some out there but you would have to likely do a nationwide search of dealers to try and find one.

I believe the also try and batch similar colors so when the order is placed it will sit in the Order Received status for awhile while they try and schedule the individual orders. In my case (M340i not X5). The Order Received on 1/20/21 but didn't get Scheduled for Production until 2/17/21.
