All packages since you can't select individual items any more (premium+luxury+assist pro+parking). White on coffee with matte trim.

Congrats 🙂 How much tax incentives are available for the 45e in your State+federal? $7500?

pho · 10-06-2020, 05:18 PM

Congrats, you won’t be disappointed

Congrats - i'm thinking of the exact same build (mineral white) except x-line as I like the old school SUV look (especially with the Pirelli tires so I hope I get those) ... though I'll have to replace the side vent chrome to black right away, other than that I'll be good. Also got the 20s!

did you get the m-brakes? if not why not? curious ...

aceman · 10-06-2020, 08:26 PM

You guys will not be dissapointed. I've had mine a week tomorrow, will end up at around 800 miles on the first tank with charging once per day. Once I get the charger installed at my shop, i'll be at about 1200 miles per tank. Still babying her, haven't done much sport mode. I also, surprisingly, have not used electric mode. I find hybrid mode is really very smart and efficient in picking when/where to use the engine vs. motor.

I was between white and CB...

Finito84 · 10-06-2020, 10:07 PM

Congrats! We are probably going into production together. Mine switched to scheduled for production last week (picture is from a few weeks back). Still I have not seen any X5 45e around, but there are a lot of Bimmerpost members that either just got it or waiting like us. Enjoy it once you get it!

Spencer518 · 10-07-2020, 07:41 AM

Same here. Ordered last Monday and scheduled for production on Thursday. No movement since.

Thanks, Well I don't believe there are any incentives for Illinois? Anybody there knows otherwise? Its just the Federal at this point + possibly for the charger.

What do you mean xline? Didn't get the blue brakes, little bit pricey and not a v8 so......

Sweet. Are you thinking on putting some film protection on it? Anybody thoughts on that?

MaybeX5 · 10-07-2020, 09:22 AM

I am getting close now. Lots of Phytonics are going to be on the road soon based on this thread.

Probably not. I don't see the value in it for the way I drive. Chipped paint has never been a problem for me

How long did you sit in "Scheduled for Production"?

I wish I kept track. I would say at least two weeks. I was in "order received" for a longer time. I was told when I bought it that it would not be here for 6-8 weeks, so I'm on track for that.

owine · 10-07-2020, 03:36 PM

Ordered 9/4, went into production ~9/24 and awaiting carrier assignment as of last night (10/6). CA told me to expect delivery next week.
