Ordered 2016 X5d M Sport..again!

Hello again,

Some of you know me, and may remember I had ordered one of the last few 2015 diesels back in October 2015 and I ended up not taking delivery of it when it arrived to the dealer in November 2015 as I was unsure about the whole diesel issue, and wanted to know what was happening with the 2016 models.

Well, the time has come and I placed an order for a 2016 this time.
Car is status 112 right now and production should begin sometime this week I hope. Should arrive to Serpa BMW by the end of May.

Very nice build. Congratulations! We have a 35d ordered as well. I'm scheduled for build week 23 (6-10 June). In Germany so not expecting delivery till mid-July. Looking forward to hearing how much you like it.

Thank you! When did you order yours? I ordered mine last Monday (April 18th).

Perhaps its because the 40e has less allocations for production? Not sure though. When did you place your order?

Sure you will love the car. We got one of the last 2015 diesel and absolutely love it. Never under 25 mpg in the city!

As if there weren't enough already, right

Any local Toronto guys who can hook up a fellow Torontonian with some coding? Want to do a couple of the common things??

March 23rd. It will be a total of about four months when all is said and done.

If you're still 112 you have time to add DHP to a nice build.
Seriously, think about it, I know you've read the threads about it here.

No regrets!

We ordered our 40e early April. Apparently my Dealer (Autohaus) has 15 orders before me so this is the cause of the delay.

Well at least it gives us time to change our config multiple times! Already thinking about adding ACC + Stop+Go for the traffic here in Toronto!

Question regarding your 2015 order: I'm assuming you left a deposit with the dealership to order the car- Did you receive a refund when you didn't accept delivery? My car is scheduled to arrive next week but I wonder if I don't accept it, would the dealership refund my deposit?

At first, they didn't want to refund it. They told me they would hold on to it and apply it to any other BMW in the future.

I made a big fuss about it, and basically told them that out of principal I would walk away from the $1000 deposit and not give them another order vs letting them hold me hostage like that. Basically, my outlook was..you can keep my $1000 but I won't give you another $80k and allow you to sell me a vehicle and also mentioned that I would make sure no one in our family (we currently have 2 BMWs in the immediate family) would be buying another car from them.

Needless to say, they refunded me. However, I didn't end up going back because one of my best friends started working at a different BMW dealership, so I obviously bought from him.

Nice build man, and a quick production slot as well. Well done. Be sure to post pics once it arrives.

Got the VIN a couple days ago...

Can anyone comment on how long it should take from here??

What number I can call to get a status update besides the dealership?
I'm in Canada BTW.

Called BMW today, apparently it has been released to carrier? They couldn't give me a status number so I'm not sure what it means, but I suppose the production is complete?

Anyone have an idea of when I can expect my truck to arrive based on this?

When I order a car, I always get it in writing that the deposit is refundable if I am unsatisfied with the car upon delivery. Most dealers seem okay with that.
