Hope this gives some timeline guidance to those custom ordering an X5 for west coast delivery. Obviously lots of things can alter this timeline (weather, other production/travel impediments, options added at the accessory center, order volume at the factory, stop sales , etc), but this is a rough idea of how long it will take end-to-end. Keep in mind I did not have an individual paint color, which adds significantly more time as I've read here.

Order placed (slot already allocated to dealer): Aug 29 (Day 0)
Production completion date: 9/17 (Day 19)
Accessory center (had the BMW ACE dash cam installed): 9/18 (Day 20)
Carrier assignment and on a train: 9/19 (Day 21)
At the Kansas City train station: 10/10 (Day 42)
Scheduled arrival at Renton, WA lot: 10/23 (Day 55)
Expected delivery day: 10/24 (Day 56)

So, 56 days end to end, about 8 weeks. Likely several days shorter for California delivery due to shorter train distance.

Wow this is super quick!

Mine too 4 months... 1 month to wait for allocation and another ~3 weeks for that stop sale saga where the car was in QC state for almost 3 weeks.

yeah, all bets were off with the stop sale. That skews the order-to-delivery time significantly. Mine was built after they had changed part suppliers.

Lots must have changed since I ordered (individual color) because that timeline is nowhere near the one I have going on. I ordered my custom order X5MC at the end of March and the car just arrived in Renton on 10/10. Now I am waiting about another week to ten days for it to be shipped to Portland…

I'm in Portland area, what color is it so I can watch for it?

Stealth wrapped Urban Green (making it look matte). Hoping that there will not be too many running around the area 😂

Per my original mail, individual color adds a significant amount of time to the timeline. Mine was standard color and options on a 50e.

Sorry - didn’t mean to allude that you were saying something incorrectly!
