My wife’s 2020 X5 is in production!

She just sent me this tracking screenshot! And I’m waiting for my new M5! Any ballpark idea of how long until completion so I can tell her and get her off my back!?!? Everyday she asks me when it will be here. Thanks guys.

Best thing to do is call the genius line and get the production week. Your car will be ready close to that. Mine stayed in "production begins" for a few weeks. Depending on your allocation, it could be soon, or it could be next year.

I got the same update today too (VIN assigned)
When did you place your order? I wander how far apart we are. I placed order last week of Nov. and told deliver would be in Feb. due to white/blue interior I selected.

That would not be uncommon. When I ordered mine, the order was placed on a Thursday and it achieved the "Production Begins" stage the following Tuesday. Stayed in that stage for about three weeks until the actual physical production began.

Ok, but then there must be some issue with M50i production. Myself and others cannot even get a allocation on a order. I placed my initial order end of Nov & being told beginning of Jan for a allocation.

I have an M50i on order since December 4th.
Online tracker has been stuck on the 1st spot saying:

"Your order has been received, and we're making space in the production schedule."

Called BMW Genius and they said they have no additional information.
I do have a Ind. Block date for 12/11/19
(possibly for the individual full merino leather?)

Mine, a 40i with individual leather, has also been on order for a week now with no update. But the dealership did say that I shouldn't expect delivery till early February so I knew that going in

How much extra was individual leather? And is it Merino, just a different color?

it's the blue/white merino full interior. Other forum posts on here have said that adds more time to the build than other leather options.

Is it me or is this odd (reminder I had a VIN# assigned yesterday)? I called Genius# and they said assembly is scheduled for Jan. 12 (what's happening between now and Jan 12?) and takes 5-6 weeks, delivery still projected for end of Feb.

Ahh gotcha, so it’s a standard option. I thought it was like “individual color” for an extra 5k and you can pick different than from standard options.

The X factory isn't yet equipped to support 490 special request paints - only predefined SABI paintworks that are on the build sheets:

BMW paintworks are divided into two types:

SABI
􏰀SABI paintworks are available to order within the configurator and can be selected just like normal production paint finishes.

490
􏰀Special request paintworks use the generic code 490. The specific colour code is then supposed to be filled into IVS. These exclusive paintworks require confirmation and pricing directly from the NSC.

Other Individual options require a bit more time as it's a not common ordered exterior color or interior - like IW/NB Merino extended and full, and full interiors in other colors.
