2020 X5M HEA Build Date

Closing a deal on a new 2020 X5M which has a build date of 3/17/2020.

Would this be an HEA car? What is the cutoff build date of the HEA cars?
Thinking about avoiding an HEA to avoid any new/first production car problems.

Trying to close the deal today if this build date is an HEA car or regular build.

Thanks.

Not sure but it might be, the start of production was around that time

Why don't you just ask them? I saw a HEA car in Canada on dealer lot and it clearly said HEA Package on the sticker.

Nothing wrong with the HEA cars. From what we know its the same as the rest of the 2020 MY cars. HEA are just pre optioned cars by BMW

The one issue you do need to ask about is if the AC compressor issue was addressed on the car. This impacted a lot of the BMW V8's 2019/2020. Not sure if any 2021 were impacted.

Over in the UK I was looking at the HEA cars (UK only has competition cars) before I went for a self-optioned car. They very slightly varied in spec but they all had the following:

- NO laserlights
- Comfort Plus pack (which is soft-close / acoustic / sun prot / ventilation & massage / F&R heating / Ambient)
- Luggage Compartment Pack
- Sky Lounge Pano Roof

Perhaps that may help in deciphering if that car is HEA?

HEA cars here in the states were pretty much loaded with a 124K sticker either in Blue/black combo or Black/Orange. Build dates that i've seen range from Jan/2020 through March/2020 right before the factory shut down in April due to Covid. I don't think custom orders went into production until June sometime when the factory reopened
