Swift X7 build
I’m very (happily) surprised at how quick my new X7 was built! I signed the final build sheet on 3/2.
Moved to Production Begins status on 3/4 and now, 3/16, it’s already through production onto carrier assignment! Dealership expects to take delivery sometime next week. Will add photos once I pick it up. Cheers! Edit: she’s arrived!!! Last edited by Ereim; 03-25-2022 at 02:56 PM.. |

Solid, proven car today versus not-yet-proven-but-improved car 10 months down the line? Pigeon on the roof versus small finch in hand today? Driving pleasure today versus driving pleasure tomorrow? It's all so subjective but kudos to both of you for getting the car you want! If you're unsure about your choice then you should wait until you gained that clarity.

1. Current X7 is a nice car. So it won't let you down. 2. The wait is long and my current car value might change if the post-covid trade in value gets decreased. 3. It's a car. You won't have too much a big deal if you are going to keep it long. There will be a lot of new cars be better if you keeping the car long. If you are only keep it for couple years. You can change it then. |

Can't wait to hear how long it takes yours to get on a truck and to the dealer. My order has been stuck at "Awaiting Carrier Assignment" for two weeks. It originally rolled off production on 3/6, should have been on a truck on 3/7, and my dealer (Austin) get it on 3/10. Right now, it's still in Spartenburg.

I'm in the UK. As soon as I place my order, my trade in value is locked until I get the new car so I am lucky in that perspective. In terms of it not being a big difference however, I don't agree. It seems that the LCI will be substantially different both with changes in the outside and inside. Tech will also get an upgrade to newest iDrive. Whilst I see your point about new cars coming out all the time, I always try to fit in with a models cycle. I'd be rather pissed off if spent so much money on a car, only for a new model to be on sale within months of me collecting it from the dealership. |

In terms of iDrive 8 and "teething" problems, with September delivery times for X7 LCI, the new iDrive will have been effectively a year into production at that point. With OTA updates on top of that, I expect most bugs to be eradicated. |

Quick as a bunny here too. I submitted the build on 2-7. Build was scheduled to start 3-14. Car was complete Monday and waiting for carrier assignment.
I am very happy I got a build in Pre LCI. I have not seen anything worth waiting for other than maybe the new V8. If the LCI is announced and we need to have it we will figure it out. |

From all the spy pics, I really don’t like the “dragonfly” headlight setup. Also, having seen the iX dash in person, I don’t love the huge screen being separated from the dash. I’m thinking that after this facelift, they will listen to feedback and integrate the one large screen seamlessly built into the dash. Also getting a very favorable trade in value right now as well as low financing. I expect interest rates to be higher by the time the LCI is available for purchase. |

The moment I saw the split headlight and the rendering, my decision was made to quickly grab a pre-LCI build. I like the current X7 M50i look and if the LCI looks anywhere close to the rendering, I know I'd regret waiting for the LCI and forever losing the opportunity to order a pre-LCI. If the LCI turns out to be a blockbuster, I always have the chance of grabbing one later on anyway.

I live in a metro where only has two BMW dealerships. My chances of getting a new model quicker is low. My current car had an accident so I would like to grab the opportunity when it still worth some money. Also I've never been a BMW owner so I would like to own one sooner than later. Had I have more budget and time to wait, I would have waited as well. |
