Order placed

wesleyan92 · 01-16-2021, 10:07 PM

I test drove the X7 over the holidays and fell in love with it.

My SA and I just custom ordered this build as I really like the Amertin Metallic color and there is zero inventory around in the DFW area:

I got 8% off MSRP (including incentives). The wait begins.

Congratulations. In the meantime start ordering the IND painted bits this way you drop them off at the dealership and have them install before delivery. Enjoy.

That is a great idea. Haven't done any research on this topic but I am assuming it is the standard stuff like the reflector delete. I'll read up.

Wanderer73 · 01-16-2021, 11:22 PM

That's all it takes! Congrats, you're going to love your new rig. Cheers!

LittleJoe · 01-17-2021, 06:47 AM

Nice build. Now the waiting begins.

Savoy2001 · 01-17-2021, 09:58 AM

Congrats. You will love it.

If it wasn't for the freaking pandemic, we would have done a PCD. Sigh!

"dynamic handling package"

ah, good. good good good. I see you've been paying attention

kdesign7 · 01-17-2021, 12:54 PM

Beautiful color! Love it!

MystroX5 · 01-17-2021, 01:11 PM

Your doomed. I did the same thing in Aug. Test drove the owner of my Dealerships fully loaded out X7 M50i. It was all over after 20 minutes.

My G05 X5 50i M-Sport was almost fully optioned but the X7 M50i was in a "next level" of luxury vehicle.

I make it point to always get my BMWs with the suspension options included. I made the mistake of "nickel and diming" on my first BMW in 2008 (E6) when I turned down the active roll stabilization option.

Locked the final build below and allocation goes in tomorrow Jan 20th. SA thinks delivery will be end of March but we'll see.

Niiiice!

Congrats! The two of you have Twin builds less the wheels & engine

Savoy2001 · 01-19-2021, 12:39 PM

Congrats on a very nice build.

toddwalton · 01-19-2021, 01:08 PM

I still find solace in the fact that my 2020 40i is actually "fully loaded" and has more options that a "fully loaded" 2021 Alpina.

Congratulations, nice build! Sounds like you ordered from BMW of Dallas. They seemed to be the only local dealer willing to give reasonable discounts around here.

I went to BMW of Grapevine (Sewell).

Wild Blue · 01-25-2021, 12:40 AM

Congrats, wesleyan92 ! You know, if you wanted to, it's not too late to arrange the PCD. It sounds like your production start is still weeks away.

If you could swing a production slightly earlier, with a 24 Feb PCD, we could take delivery together.

Wild Blue, after seeing your post, I have been thinking of doing PCD. My only hesitancy is this pandemic nightmare. My wife is high risk so don't want to take any unnecessary risks.

wesleyan92 · 01-28-2021, 07:11 AM

For folks and their typical ordering on customer orders, what is the general time gap between ordering being accepted and production starting?
