I know that this is late, as my ‘24 X5 M60 completed production last week (wk 1), but has been in quality control. Was moved up from week 3 to 1 despite Priority 1 black piano trim and extended ivory white (not a P1, but individual is sewed onto the leather on the side bolsters).

Interested if there are any other S68 variants and/or 50e’s also manufactured week 1.

Seems 50e's have been delayed to wk 10 or so. After you clear QC it won’t take long to arrive in CHS. I live in HHI. Curious did you buy from Hendrick? They turned me off with their dealer adds (tint, ceramic, etc). And HiIton Head dealer wouldn’t deal at all. I ended up ordering my M60i from BMW of Macon, GA. Easy negotiation and seamless delivery.

This is will be my 11th PCD, as I’m well aware of the routine (look at my signature including 3 ED’s). Out of state purchase for every BMW factory ordered for the past 20+ years, that’s a new car every 1 1-2 years. Hendrick is a clown 🤡 show, as I don’t waste my time with the jokers there, just play with them for test drives and then ghost the CA’s when they follow up. Even my end of lease vehicles are returned out of state. Yes, you are correct as Hendrick tints and fills every instock car with nitrogen add ons, but even for factory ordered car they still tried the tint/nitrogen nonsense? The Hendrick fools don’t realize that Costco has free Nitrogen near the tire shop.

Holy cow. I thought I bought an embarrassing number of cars (16 since retiring in 2001). I hope you’re smiling behind the wheel of your new M60i real soon. PCD is, as you know, a treat.

Through quality check over the weekend, now awaiting a carrier across the street to 1155 SC-101, Greer, SC.

Anyone heard of any delays in production related to the Executive Package or 2-Axle Suspension for M60i?

I have a build stuck in Quality Check, while an almost identical build aside from the two above options is already at order status 190, "Dispatched from Factory".

Both going to the same dealership.

If there were a delay for either of those, which we haven't heard of, then your vehicle wouldn't have made it to QC. They are probably waiting on a replacement part as that is the cause of almost every QC delay.

I had the executive package and M suspension professional if that helps you. As TurtleBoy mentioned its pobably limited to a part. To make you feel better during the pandemic in 2022 cars were stuck at the port awaiting the radio module, as they were shipped from Germany without the part and install in the US upon port arrival. My ‘22 M4 cabrio was at the port for 1-2 weeks awaiting the module prior to PCD being scheduled as the car had to be released first from the VPC.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the help!

Luckily it didn't take too much longer than expected and we're now awaiting a carrier assignment. Now on to figuring out how long it takes to get to Houston, ha.

Took me a long time to commit to a new build, just being impatient.

I'm in Houston as well. Are you using any detail shops here for tint, PPF or ceramic coating?

[AcZac]

I'm actually in The Woodlands. BMW of Houston North tints as a dealer add on so I don't need to get that done. Good/Bad maybe.

I plan to use someone up here for ceramic coating just don't know who yet.

Oh, okay. I'm out in Katy, to be more specific. I've used Vive in the past and had a very good experience; it's close to the Galleria, but I'm leaning towards IX Exotics, per a few recommendations, and they are located in Cypress. BMW West Houston offers tinting as well and actually uses XPEL, so depending on the price, it might not be a bad deal.

Yall might want to hit up Needsdecaf as he is in the Woodlands and is very knowledgable about this stuff
