I would, but my wife does not like the look of the M Sport (I know, very surprising). And she also does not like the M Sport suspension. If it was me, I would get it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, happy wife = happy life.
Let her know that: xline has too much unpainted plastic around car that make car look so cheap ! Especially when a Msport x5 park next to your xline . It look like 2 levels of car.

Believe me, I tried! lol. Anyway, too late now as our vehicle is in production status 150 and can't change anything.

It's an additional panel of leather that runs along the front center console tunnel. See green highlighted area in Extended Ivory Merino photo example.

Merino Ivory - panel is ivory leather
Merino Ivory with Night Blue, Black, Coffee, Tartufo - panel is black leather

VIN shows up on M Decoder now with Prod. Date 2020-02-15! Estimated production completion date per automated system is 02/24, but I have a feeling it may jump up by two days to 02/22 (same thing happened with first order). Kinda nice going through this again, it strangely seems a lot quicker the second time around.

As expected, the estimated production completion date changed today, but by three days (from 02/24 to 02/21)! I'm glad the last minute change to Merino leather didn't delay production.

Dispatched from factory! Will likely get to my dealer here in SoCal in about 2.5-3 weeks. I may need to take a break from the forum until then lol

Not sure how to feel about that. On the one hand I'm impatient so I'm glad it's moving along quick. On the other hand, I don't want them to ship out a car rushed without doing good quality control on it! But we'll see. Hopefully all goes well.

Nice! When is your estimated completion date per the automated system? Typically assembly begins a day before that date and all is done on the estimated completion date. My estimated completion date was today and it is right on schedule!

I'm in Canada so we don't have access to much. This is what I have last from my SA on the 13th. I called BMW Canada today and they said they won't know anything until it's finished production.
