Not local. Had to go out of state for a better deal.

We are excited to get our new X7 40i but this tracking system has been a let down.
So far my experience has been that sometimes the automated phone system, website, and customer service personnel all say the same thing, and sometimes they all have something different. Clearly the phone system and website are on separate databases, and the humans decode them both (or something entirely different) to get better insight.

Like a kid at Christmas! I'll clearly be taking all business calls from the car next week (and scheduling a visit to the car care shop for a film application on the front and ceramic wax all over)!

Oh, baby! She's a beauty.

I see you and your husband are going to have a pair of G07 and G05 50i's. You are my hero. Definitely need to share pics of them together!

21inch y-spoke grey. I read that 22s just aren't as smooth of a ride.

Awe, the 753's, very nice. More tire will always give a smoother ride. Our X7 has the 22" 757 wheels but the ride is quite smooth with the air suspension doing most of the heavy lifting.

Can't wait to see some pics when you get it.

New to the forum and first BMW, trading in the wife’s last generation Honda Pilot so will be quite an upgrade. Have a great wife who is taking my 2016 MDX and letting me get the new car. Ordered a few weeks ago but has been stuck at “order received” since that time. Calling the geniuses only gave me a 3-4 week window for when production would start, so wondering if adding the night vision after the order was placed is delaying things. Was leaning towards the 50i but mostly just commuting and driving the kids around and the test drives didn’t seem different enough to me, and I will enjoy the luxury features a lot more.

X740i
M-sport package
Carbon black with Tartufo extended leather and matte anthracite poplar
754 wheels and M brakes
Premium package
Cold weather package
Driver assistance package
Luxury seating
Parking assistance
Crystal shift knob
Sky lounge
Night vision
Trailer hitch
Leather dash

Hopefully production actually starts at sometime soon...

Honda Pilot to an X7. You are the MAN.

And that's very well equipped. Similar to what I'm going to do.

If there is anything I find really frustrating about my whole ordering experience, it is the lack of clarity on what options were advertised that weren't actually available. Knowing what I know now, when I checked every box I should have been more careful. Unbeknownst to me:

- Laser Lights were dropped
- Power rear sunshades were actually manual (only now are they appearing as an option under the Premium package on bmwusa)
- Night vision came available the first of April (didn't know that was coming!)

It's kind of a let down to find out that stuff you thought was in a package somewhere because of all the press about it, and then find it wasn't there, or was removed before you ordered.

Still happy with her, and I'm glad the wait is nearly over, but everything I find that isn't there makes it frustrating. I don't special order a car every day after all.

I agree. I found out about the night vision not being included from reading the forum here and was glad to be able to add it since there are a lot of deer where I live. I had thought it was included with the pedestrian detection in the driver assistance package.

I'm sad about the lazer lights. Why does the X5 get them and we don't?!

Welp, i have to retract one thing. The power sunshades, I'm told, were included on mine after all. They just didn't list them out previously on bmwusa, and my garage only listed manual ones under standard equipment.

Whew! That was almost the straw that broke the camel's back.

I do agree. A little frustrating. And to add another one (sorry, not to rub it in), the Ambient Air Package is available as a hidden option in the USA as well.

Yeah, it seems to be a supply issue. Just not enough right now. Supposedly, the X5 is getting restricted too.

Yet another reason why I'm waiting until MY2020

Right, that too! LOL - I'm not as upset about that though, since I find the idea of having a scent produced in my car that takes money for refills a little silly. I prefer to keep the cabin clean and have the scent of leather and plastic waft about on its own.

My order jumped to "Entering Assembly Line" today.. according to Genie though it's still scheduled to be completed tomorrow. Getting excited!

My order is as follows:
X7 40i
M Sport Package
Arctic Grey
Black extended Merino Leather
755M Wheels
Premium Package
Driver Assist Package
Luxury seat package
Cold weather Package
Parking assist Package
Harmon Kardon sound
Night Vision package
Sky lounge
Captains chairs
Trailer Hitch

I can't wait!
