Joining the ranks of X7 ownership

cncmastr · 03-22-2021, 08:44 PM

You can watch a recently created video on my channel - but the short version is, we are adding one more to the family and I can't fit three kids in the back of the F85. And a minivan is not in our future. So what does a BMW obsessed lunatic do? Order an X7 M50i!

I'm scheduled for production in April, here is my current build sheet.

I decided to do a lease, rather than buy, this way I can work up to an Alpina XB7 later...because, you know, I need that for hauling kids and stuff.

Post delivery run down

Oh yes, and welcome to the lunatic X7 family. You're in good company.

X7FamilyTruckster · 03-22-2021, 10:57 PM

That's the stuff! Live in the now baby!!! No one can say they don't deserve it after that past year!

cncmastr · 03-30-2021, 03:46 PM

Updated the first post with some details!

djbonsu · 03-30-2021, 04:36 PM

Nice Build and WELCOME to the X7 madness!

cncmastr · 03-31-2021, 09:08 AM

Boom!
Entered scheduled for production this am, it changed in the matter of 1 hour, so cool.

cncmastr · 03-31-2021, 09:44 AM

Within 35 min, entered production and was assigned a VIN, meaning the body has been assembled!

Just a heads up, mine sat in this state from 3/17-3/29. Then all of the sudden yesterday, the car magically went through body assembly, paint, assembly, QC and left the factory before EOD. I have a feeling you are right about the body and I hope it starts moving fast, but don't be surprised if the tracker doesn't make further progress for a week+

Mine went from "entering assembly line" to "awaiting carrier assignment" in 1 day. Lol. I don't think their tracker system is real time.

cncmastr · 03-31-2021, 05:04 PM

Thanks guys!

The optimist in me wants to think it's all happening in real time. I get warm and fuzzies visualizing the assembly.

Chunner · 03-31-2021, 06:43 PM

The tease is agonizing... But I did get a VIN.

I think my tank was born a few days ago.

Car was scheduled for completion on 4/19, then this week was pulled in for Friday 4/16, and sometime this am made it to assembly!

You should have it in a few days as long as it passes QC

cncmastr · 04-16-2021, 11:51 AM

Now in QC!

cncmastr · 04-17-2021, 09:20 AM

Woot! Waiting carrier assignment!

You are going to friggen love this beast. It will easily lure you in to playing with its performance that will make your license go away if caught.

I can't wait!

Looks like it's left the factory and is on its way to NJ so that I can ship it to GA...

Wanderer73 · 04-18-2021, 09:10 AM

Yes, find some back roads and have some fun. Endless. Be careful on the highway

W/// · 04-20-2021, 07:54 AM

That is a killer spec, I absolutely love Dravit. Nice set of BMW's you got there!
