New order Dravitt x5 50e
Hello all,
Haven't posted here for years, since end of my run with my 435GC... but just put in an order (paperwork being completed by dealer tomorrow) for a 50e in Dravitt. Have been closely following people's posts on the timing of their orders, which all look faster than the "three months" the dealers around here have been telling me (inland empire Southern California). That being said, anyone know what my timeline might look like? Is Dravitt going to really slow me down.? Thank you in advance! Full build: 2024 50e Dravitt Gray Coffee Sesnsafin 20 inch 740 wheels with all seasons Fineline open pore M sport package Premium package Driving Assistance Professional M sport prof Parking assistant pkg Climate comfort pkg Trailer hitch |

Your dealer should have given you a production number when they entered the order. Give Genius a call and they can give you your production week.
If your dealer can't give you a production number then you don't have an order with BMW and your dealer is waiting for an allocation in order to order it.

The "Vehicle Inquiry Report" in which I initialed to confirm my build does have a "Prod. No."
I assume this is it? Quote:

Yes, that should be it. Give Genius a call tomorrow and they should be able to give you the production week associated with that number. From there you can get an idea of how long it will be to delivery. Since you are in CA it should be about three weeks after it is built.

Thank you TurtleBoy,
Called Genius today, they stated the vehicle would "start production in the second week of the new year," so I suppose that would mean that it would be considered a "week 2 build." I assume your three week estimate is three weeks after the build is complete? Or three weeks after the start of build? Thank you in advance for all your help! Quote:

BMW uses ISO weeks for their scheduling so week two would be Jan 8 - 14th. My estimate was from when it was shipped.

Big thanks for this TurtleBoy. . .
Called Genius again this morning, and got some more specific info. When asked to clarify production begins vs. production date, she was able to confirm: "you are scheduled to have your vehicle built during the week of January 8-12, it will actually be put together then." She added, "some time before that, when the chassis and frame are assigned you will receive a VIN number and can get more detailed tracking." So, that seems to clarify it. . . I think. Fingers crossed for an early February delivery to Southern California. Very excited. Thank you for your help TurtleBoy! Quote:

Hmm... this is curious. From the day after the order was placed, the mybmw.com "my garage" page had the X5 status as "scheduled for production" and was on the second dot from the left. Today, now it has moved back to the left to the first dot, and now says "order received- your order has been received and we are making space in the production schedule."
Seems like this is moving backwards and causes me some concern. . . does this happen often? Especially odd after the info I got from the genius yesterday. . . Any ideas? |

Called the genius again for clarification (they are gonna get sick of me). . . he says, you are scheduled for production the second or third week of January.
I mentioned that that was definitely different than info I had received earlier this week, asked if something had changed. . . he gave a sort of mumbled answer about how things are always subject to change. Sounds like must be what you suggested, some sort of shortage of something that was just discovered in last day or two. I am obviously obsessing about this too much, and I think I am going to have to just step away and wait, without inquiring too often. Which goes against my very nature. . . but i suppose I will go crazy if I check too often and the status changes back and forth. Just hoping for February. |
