X5 40i M Sport on order

Originally posted in wrong place, so posted again...

Ordered an X5 40i M Sport for delivery in around October this year. Long lead time due to scheme I ordered it through. On the plus side I did get £13.5k discount on a relatively basic car.

Only options added were M Sport Pro and 22 inch wheels. Went for Carbon black with Ivory.

Looking forward to getting it and before that harassing the BMW Genius daily for build updates once it goes into production.

Great discount. Who did you order through? Long wait and you should get a MY22 car and air suspension again?

Congratulations and hopefully the wait isn't too bad. Good luck, enjoy and be safe.

Who knows. I’ll probably just wait and see what turns up. I might make one call in a month or two, but things seems to change every week at the moment.

Just been given my order number and told build slot is in August and delivery will be late September sometime.

That’s so close to something I’d like to do in the car, I’ve asked if there’s any way they can pull it forward a couple of weeks.

I’m going to the BMW sponsored European Tour PGA Championship at Wentworth on Sunday the 12th of September, with a hotel stay in swanky Ascot the night before.

I’ve asked in hope for a collection in London on Saturday morning, where I’ll get the train down and collect it. Also, you get a few extra privileges at Wentworth if you arrive in a BMW, like parking on site and a couple of executive lounges on the course (although they might be out for Covid reasons).

Would be a great way to collect my car, but my guess is I might miss out by a week or two.

I can still get the BMW treatment at Wentworth in our other car, a 2020 Mini Clubman John Cooper Works, but I’m not telling the dealer that!

Car finally entered the assembly line today, a little later than when first ordered, but not by much!

Now for the daily harassment of the BMW chat genius for updates!

Congrats. The wait/anticipation can be tough but it will go by fast. Hope you get it in time for the event. With the colors you chose, I would definitely look into some paint and interior protection. Love your color choices, but they are both unforgiving if not properly cared for. Also really like those wheels, not sure why BMW doesn't offer them in North America.
