Disappointing to hear, but thanks. My goal was to order one on February 1 next year (important date for me), and with this news I was tempted to rush in for a '20 model, but then I got mad thinking about being forced to rush into an expensive new flagship car before I want... so we'll see if hopefully the options I want are available again by the time I'm ready to order, otherwise I guess we'll see, haha.

Sure they can submit it as it is part of the BMW Individual or BMW Special Request processes. The question is, will BMW approve it...

So from the post above this post it may be possible but it will depend on BMW I guess to make the final decision. If it does work be sure to let us know.

If I were in your shoes, I would make sure I have everything I wanted in that vehicle which is in the "no no" list before handing it over to them, including laser lights if it's your thing. I've seen it happen with X5 not the X7 where the interior and exterior colors were in the list of choices for Bentley. Hell red interior including the steering and some strange shade of purple exterior. So can he do it? Yes Is he willing ? I don't know.

As for Shadowline, yes many here going w the M50i are ticked by the fact you cannot spec with bi-color black wheels like you can get on the 40i. |

Anyone ordering an M50i may want to hold out due to the current AC issues V8 BMW's are experiencing.

X5/X5M AC issue.... https://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1729657 Seems to be an issue with V8 models only, with the AC dying completely early in ownership or with it being inconsistent in power. I believe BMW is aware with the issue at the moment. Some dealers are quoting days to weeks to months regarding replacement/fixes, probably better off waiting for BMW to update the issue than get stuck with a $100k car with no AC during the summer.

Short summary: AC compressors on V8s are having a quality issue apparently. BMW is already aware of it. It should also be noted many people are getting vehicles and they are just fine...hence why I said manufacturing quality issue. Not anything significant enough at this point to deter a M50i purchase....If you're one of the few unlucky people you just have to change the compressor which is nothing to lose sleep over It should also be noted it's happening mostly in other BMW models with V8 engines but I've not seen it pop up in the X7 or if it has it's been so few it's negligible at this point.

These days, it's more on how well and how much you can negotiate off MSRP - 10% off MSRP had considered a good reference point for custom ordered vehicles. Here's background info on why: Quote:

So I’m ordering a 21 M50i and the changes mentioned on the options don’t affect me except the full merino leather. I was going to order the tanzanite blue with black full merino. Are we saying that the black full merino is no longer offered?

Correct. You can only get Full Leather Merino with Ivory/Blue for MY2021. Most you can do is get Black Extended Merino and add Leather Dash.
