Order placed for 2020 M50i in Tanzanite Blue II - Added album with dealer pics
So, after almost a year of wanting to order a new X5 to replace my current aging X5, and struggling with the limited options or option restrictions provided by BMW Canada, I finally was able to put together a configuration that is about as close to what I wanted as I could get. I'm still frustrated by the idiotic rules that, for example, do not allow ordering a spare tire, or air suspension without rear wheel steering. A lot of what I wanted was standard in the M50i, so when they announced it, I was very happy since it really made the decision process much easier.
When the order was submitted, the production date came up as Week 45, but has since been changed to Week 41 (Oct 6 to 12). I'm being told that "ETA for delivery should be by Nov 9th latest and I think sooner. We will know more around October 17th." Anyways, after many agonizing decisions, here it is; MY2020 X5 M50i C3Z Tanzanite Blue Metallic VASW Black Extended Merino Leather ZGT Premium Enhanced Package 2VF Adaptive M Suspension1PQ 22" M Lt/Aly Wheels, Double-Spoke 742 M, Black, Perf. Non RFT 3DS BMW Display Key 418 Luggage Compartment Package 4A2 Glass Application 'Crafted Clarity' for Interior Elements 4KT Fine-Wood Poplar Grain Anthracite Brown Open-Pored Trim 7M9 High-Gloss Black Kidney Grille w/ Extended Contents I really wanted TBII but it only became available in Canada sometime around May/June and by that time, I had already decided to wait to see what the MY2020 X5 would be like from an ordering perspective. Then I held off for a bit more to see what early production issues might arise, and I definitely prefer roof rails so that was an easy wait BIG Thanks to everyone here that contributed by posting their own experiences. You've all helped with my decision and ordering process. Last edited by Fuzzy Master; 10-23-2019 at 09:18 PM.. |

I ordered mine at the beginning of September, and the build week is 44. The wait is so hard. I ordered the car in Vancouver, where did you order yours? And what discounts did you get?

Our cars might be on the same train heading to Ontario, Canada. Mine was ordered Sept 03, was assigned build week 40 but might have been built on week 39 and vehicle production status has been “in transit via rail” for almost 2 weeks when I called this week to BMW of North America to check status.

I'm looking at the same exterior and trying to decide between coffee and black for the interior. Love the way the TBII pairs with the shadow line trim. |

The real thing looks way sexier than the pic from the build website that I originally posted!
