I am told that the only options currently are pre-built in-stock or customer order would not have a delivery until January providing there aren't any delays. Does anyone on here know if this is accurate?

I just ordered Saturday and my salesman was able to change options on one of his allocations so I could get it by end of month. He told me he could place a new order if I wanted which would take a little longer but he didn’t mention anything about January. Sounds odd.

Could be that the dealer you were talking to didn't have an allocation for any production slots prior to Jan? I would try other dealers. |

Thank you. I have a long relationship with this dealer and the salesperson is my friend but they don't always have the most accurate information. I will try another just to see if I can get additional information if it is the same story then I guess I shop slightly "used" or wait it out but I was hoping to in one for Autumn'19.

FWIW, I test drove a 2020 M50i today. Two things:
1. Holy crap. Strong, throaty, smooth power. Far stronger than a vehicle of this size deserves. Very, very nice. 2. Without the extended shadowline trim, you do get a lot of the cerium grey accents. Because it's a satin finish, I'm finding that it gets smudges, stains, and fingerprints very easily. Take a look at this picture I took of the cerium grey mirror cap. (and this is a brand new vehicle, new to the dealer lot, not years of use) Last edited by Wild Blue; 09-14-2019 at 05:58 PM.. |

It would be nice to have a vehicle with plenty (and then some) of power when you put the pedal to the metal without getting a whiplash every time you touch the gas-pedal... |

I guess that is the best of both worlds then. My MY06 M5 wasn't smooth at all. It also had 500hp but the - I believe it was called SMG-transmission - was super jerky. |

I did do a highway on-ramp rapid acceleration from almost a dead stop. It was a "jam the pedal, holy crap that's fast, aaaaaand... I'm already at highway speeds". Like every X7 model, it's so deceptively smooth and quiet, that if you don't look down at the HUD/speedometer, you could easily drive 100mph, with no realization you're travelling so fast. |

The only thing Ali could find was that to go easy on breaks for first tank as they need to fit to the compound discs. |

I need to start getting used to stay at lower proper speeds as it is so easy to pass the limit up. 😆 My sons love when we have pole position so far nothing could come even close, I was also driving on roads where there is one lane and permitted to pass, oh boy this beast runs like crazy when you hit accelerator. |
