Do it. I've done it 3 times. It's a blast and they treat you very well. Visit the Museum while you are there and take a factory tour if you have time.

I searched the forums and most were for euro delivery and I was not sure how Spartanburg works; if I missed a previous post that answered these questions, please be gentle and point me to it!! Thanks! |

Here's about all I know- All paperwork is completed at dealership prior to arrival. The vehicle is built and ready up to 2 weeks before. Our build still shows "factory has scheduled production" no other info. This was the first available PCD day available, post build. I placed the order on Jan 30. It took 2 weeks (for me) to get a production #. The build tracker shows no progress as of yet. Not sure what the hold up was in our case. It wasn't a big deal so I didn't dig for details. Possible dealer had # in advance of passing it along to me. Edit- Just checked and our car now has a VIN # and is showing production starts today. |

Smovva...last time I did it, I turned in my prior lease like 3 days prior to my PCD date. At the same time, I had my appointment with the finance guy to do all of the paperwork for the new one before leaving town. I think the PC wants copies of the paperwork at least two days ahead of time. And my timeline just about lines up with 2016M4DVR's. |

One other thing to keep in mind is that PCD is first come first served. If you have dates in mind in April, I'd go ahead now and get your CA to put you in for one. I wanted 3/15, but got bumped to the end of the month due to demand and my car is supposed to be finished this coming week. I decided the experience was worth the wait and BMWFS will extend a lease if they know you have an order in. They originally gave me 3/26 as the earliest, but I chose the 27th since flights are cheaper and more numerous on a Tuesday. |

Really enjoyed the experience. I was amazed what the X5 could do on the track and off road. Have booked M driving school for May 28th. My plans for an M5 have changed. '20 M3 comp is in my future. Munich delivery! |

Hope you and the wife are enjoying the new X5 as much as I am. I've already crossed the 500 mile mark in under a week! |
