on the other hand, I ordered early November 2020, and after my dealer gave me my production number a few weeks later, I simply assumed a January/February delivery (first bimmer), but he said, "No way! You should have it before the end of the year... just in time for taxes!" (that tax credit was nice...)

You should be able to call the genius help line now to see what build week you are. As for the exact day, you won't be able to get that before the production begins stage. I was only able to get that once on the multiple time I called on both of our cars. They will likely just tell you that it will be done on the Friday of your build week (even though mine was built that Monday).

Newbie to this forum here — wanted to get a gut check on something. I placed a custom order for an 2021 X5 45E on 4/1 and still no production number assigned from the dealer.
Is that expected? |

More than likely they don't have an allocation and are just waiting on one. In many instances you get the production number as soon as you put your order in but usually no later than a few days after the order. In your case there is no order, the dealer is hoping to be able to order it in the future. You should probably tell them you need a production number now or you will go to another dealer.

I received my production number exactly a week after I order the car (x5 45 e). The dealership had zero allocations, but somehow they managed to squeeze me through, in the same day the HK sound system went missing! Hehe (but got it back 2 weeks later).

some dealers sell more cars and are given more allocations than others. In 13 years, we never experienced a delay after ordering, so I think ours is one with a lot of allocations. someone with more experience can clarify the above if I missed or misconstrued any details. |

You could always try shopping that deal to other area dealers to see if they can match/beat and they have an allocation.

I ordered my X5 45e on 3/26, received a production number right away. My BMW Garage showed as "Order Received" the same day. On 4/16 status changed to "Scheduled for Production". BMW Genius told me week 19 production date, with delivery late May or early June to the dealer.

Could not find a Florida dealer willing to provide a very good discount, so I ended up going with Global Imports in Atlanta. They were/are very easy to work with!

Time from order to delivery
It seems to me that comparing lead times for delivery of an X5 is not particularly useful without knowing distance from the factory. Two orders for identical builds placed on the same day: one destined for Columbia, SC from Spartansburg, SC and one destined for San Francisco. The latter will take several weeks longer than the former to reach the dealer. Right?

Waiting on my 45e eagerly! Ordered on 4/11. Expected completion date is 5/19 but status still shows "Production Begins" . Hopefully status changes soon and goes thru the stages fast. Fingers crossed!!!

Fwiw mine went through pretty much all the stages in one day because their website sucks. Was in production begins for 2-weeks. The 800# said it'd be done today and low and behold it was regardless of the website.

The car is built in essentially a day, so the website was correct. Production begins means you have a VIN#, not that they actually started assembling your vehicle.
