Parts shortages are apparently no more ...

I was just informed that my X5 began production today - which I verified on the build progress web site. I was originally told a mid January build date. So it appears that BMW resolved their supply chain issues. I was actually hoping for a later build as there are *many* reports of serious issues (engine malfunction codes, driver assist issues, signal problems, etc.).

Hoping that I won't receive a lemon as it were.

Anyways just posting this for those with pending builds .....

Hi,
may I ask you to send me the link of the built process website. Do I need the VIN or production number to verify?
Thanx, M.

The USA BMW web site allows production tracking once you register:

https://www.bmwusa.com/Secured/Content/Forms/Login.aspx

Use your production number to add you vehicle and track it.

I also received a production number today. Checked it on the BMW website, but simply says "Start" and "Order Documented". How long do you guys think it realistically takes from this point usually?

I was going to add the 20" rims to the order - too late now. Annoying ...

Got it, thanks. I'm waiting on the 20" rims like the rest of humanity.

Oddly enough, had I gotten hold of my CA a few days ago and added the 20s, I most likely would not have had a begun production status.

Oh well ....

Site may only work for orders sourced from US, give it a try. When I called the 1800 number it did not work for Canada even with a production number
