X5 x35i M sport

Ordered on 10/20/15 Production number given same day
Order status on MyBMW shows as in production. To the question ixlr8 asked. I think all of the vehicles show as white before production and then the actual color ordered shows once in production. Congrats on the early retirement gift to yourself. It will be a real asset for a Maine winter. I attended school in Waterville moons ago.

My build:
35i xdrive
M sport
Premium Pkg
Lightiing Package
HK system
Rear Camera

Looking forward to adding this vehicle to my BMW fleet - 4 e92 335s and 2 5 series.

I can confirm the theory of the car showing as Alpine White on the tracker, prior to the actual start of production.

I placed my order for a 2016 X6 50i M sport on the 19th of October. I got the production number on the 20th. My build was showing as Alpine White for almost 2 weeks, until yesterday.

Now on the tracker, my car is showing the exact specifications I ticked off the list, including the space Gray exterior color I asked for.

I have been very patient since early summer for my next car with no issues... now that it's in production, I can't wait and I want it yesterday.

Amazing how the mind works, lol

Realistically / Hopefully, I will be behind the wheel of my new toy by the second week of December.

I hope I don't have to wait that long. I have read of folks putting their order in on Oct 17 and it was shipped to dealer Oct 25, delivered Oct 31. I am going to go nuts if I have to wait until Dec for delivery.

That time line would be awesome!! Taking delivery on a customer order car in less than a month would make anyone very happy, indeed.

Trust me, I would not complain at all if my car was delivered that quickly, but my CA gave me an estimated time of 5-7 weeks. That was the estimate I was going with.

The only reason why I didn't question that time line, was because back in October 2008, I put in my order for a 2009 x6, and I wasn't able to have the key fob until February 2009. Almost 5 months for that build from start to finish, although I believe that my CA during that process back then was having a few personal /professional issues.

My build was finished and shows out of production as of last Thurs, Oct 29 (build started Thursday before, Oct 22). Online of course says it still is in production, but we all know how behind that status is. The 800 number auto status and the reps still show vehicle awaiting transfer to shipper or something like that.

Is it normal for the car to sit in SC for a week before being loaded on a carrier? From everything I've seen on here, usually it's up and out of the factory within a day or too of rolling off the line. I know there is a recall on the 40e, but BMW says they can't run the VIN to see if mine is included until it's at dealer.

My SA/CA, of course, haven't a clue (as usual).

I was told it will sit until the dealer has a full semi of vehicles...? Could be the last truck on the trailer or first.

My first BMW in production…. Few questions!

Hey guys,

After doing a lot of research and reading on here, I just placed an order for an X5, which will be my first BMW, so I’m pretty excited about that. Thanks to a lot of you for all the useful information. Here is my build:

2016 BMW X5 xDrive35i M Sport

Black Sapphire Metallic
Mocha Dakota Leather
Fineline Oak Wood Trim

Cold Weather Package
Driver Assistance Package
Premium Package

20" M Light alloy Double Spoke wheels
Adaptive M Suspension + rear axle air suspension
Harmon Kardon surround sound system
Space-Saver spare

I actually placed a similar order a week ago, but I didn’t add the 20” wheels or the spare. After calling the dealer today they were nice enough to order another vehicle the way I want it. The reason I changed the order was because I want to take the RFT’s off when I pick up the car and put on Continental DWS06 tires, so the spare would give me peace of mind. Then I added the 20” wheels because why not.

Would it be a smart idea to put the Run flat performance tires back on in the summer and swap back to the DWS next winter? I don’t want to purchase another set of wheels so my question is if it is any issue to switch from RFT to standard periodically, at least until the run flats wear out and I purchase different tires. Also, I suppose I should decline the wheel and tire warranty as it only cover the stock wheels correct?

Thank you

My x5m is on a truck from Oxnard to my dealer but the 800 number still says it's awaiting a carrier in SC. So depending on where you get your info, you may already be on the train / truck.. BMW Genius should be able to give you the bill of lading (if it's going by train) once it hits the rails, and then you can track it from there.

5-Nov- Dealership tells me my car has started production. Still shows "Order Documented" on web page.
7-Nov- 1-800# reports that production has started with a 14-Nov completion date. Web page still shows status as "OD".

Now the waiting begins!!
Thanks to you folks I am already researching mods and planning to learn to do coding like I did with my VW's. Just need to make sure they pass the WAF!!

Any ideas why my status in BMWusa is not updating ? It still says "Ordered Document " no progress :-( My SA placed the order on 11/2

Maybe is because I use the order number ? I tried entering the vin last friday and did not find/recognize it

Web site is apparently notoriously slow. My X5 is due to be finished with production today, according to the 1-800-831-1117, but the web site still shows "Order Documented"!!??
