Oh man...
Dealer told me it would be arriving Friday and then get prepped. No word from them. So I get in touch this morning. They said it's delayed on the truck and not sure why. This kind of stuff always happens to me!

Here's what will happen. Car will arrive tomorrow with early closing hours. So won't get prepped. Closed Wednesday. The guy who preps will be out sick and not come in Thursday. I'm Going out of town Friday. So...yeah...


On the other hand...maybe it will show up today. Still needing an intervention.

Yeah fingers crossed. I finally picked mine up on Thursday. It arrived at the dealership Friday 12/13 then sat all weekend then they started prepping on Tuesday and because of my work schedule I wasn't able to get it until Thursday. If I didn't get it Thursday the I would have had to wait until January. These last couple weeks of the year are insane work wise. Good luck!

Not to hijack the thread, but how do you access the factory response? IE, where do you go to see “order received”? My CA just says "they submitted the order".

If you haven't done so, create a My BMW account or sign into then enter your production number:

just create an account, if you haven't already. If you already have a BMW you probably have an account. I know they created one back when we got our F15. But regardless, once you enter the login portal, click on 'my garage', add your production number and it'll look like this:

Now that I have the X5 a few thoughts.

So far I love it. The engine is fantastic. I have an M6 Convertible and I swear this thing is faster. It may not be, but it sure feels like it! I could go on and on but I am just going to touch on some of the major features I added (and didn’t add).

22inch wheels. Was worried about a harsh ride with them but really has not been a problem.

Acoustic Glass. Love it. I kind of got this to cancel out road noise from the 22’s. The car really is quiet.

DHP. LOVE this. Taking on-ramps is a hoot. Maybe it’s in my head but I can really feel it in action as it keeps everything ‘smooth’.

Executive Package. Really should be standard. With all the lights and the sunroof it really becomes a different car at night. Looks fantastic.

Glass Controls/Alcantara Headliner. Looks great and is a nice finishing touch.

The front seats have got to some of the most comfortable I have ever sat in. I’ve got some back issues and none of my usual pressure points started acting up after spending some time in these seats.

HK Surround Stereo. If you’ve been on this thread you know I was regretting this. Honestly, the HK Surround sounds great. I have no doubt the BW sounds way better and must be a treat. But if this HK Surround was the top level they offered I probably wouldn’t even care. It lacks a little punch and I can probably mess with the EQ settings. In addition the car is so quiet I don’t even need to crank it that high.

A little bummed there is nowhere to put my sunglasses. I’m at the point I need prescription shades. So I’m using the little compartment above my left knee. Maybe I’ll add a sunvisor clip or something. Not a huge deal but seems like a huge oversight for an SUV.

Happy New Year to all!
