Congratulations!
I ordered a mineral white 6 weeks ago but changed my mind last Saturday and the car should be in the dealer this Tuesday.

I placed another order Tuesday with more option and changed the color to carbon black and today production has started and got my vin number.

I was suprised how fast it went this week. Dealer told me they should get the car on June 14.

Interesting - what is your build completion (estimated) date? When I called BMW, I was told June 11(can slide one way or the other)

I have to assume it will take mine more than three days to make it's way to NJ - it appears I ordered the day before you (though order was sent on Tuesday 5/28 to BMW, which seem to be the same as you?

I’m also located in New Jersey and the dealer told me that the completion date is June 11 and they should get the car around June 14. I called the dealer last Wednesday asking about the ambient air if I can add it since I didn’t know that it was a hidden option. The next morning he told me that I can’t changed anything bec the car went in production and was told the estimate completion date of June 11

This is bizarre because I made the same exact phone call to my dealer and was told the same thing! Nonetheless, it seems the Bmw implementation hasn’t changed for years so not that big of a deal. Mercedes has a much better solution, with pre-filled or fill-able glass flacons that last a very long time. Surprised bmw hasn’t upgraded that after all these years.

Hello. Mine went in production on the same exact day on 30th May. I have order on April 15th. I hope to get delivery by end of the month. My completion date will be 11th June too. I don't know how long it take from completion to Deliver to Dealer. I am in Tennessee so I assume it will be little less time since we are Neighbour state. Can't wait.

So you still have a June 11th or 12th target date? My dealer does say he'll get the car in the matter of days once its done, which for me, is allegedly the 12th...

Does your build site still show "Production Begins"? Hasn't changed for me since it went live...

Just updated to entering assembly line (this is after paint booth), still has a completion date of tomorrow but that seems unlikely...

It is possible. I toured the factory when we did performance delivery last month. We saw the X3s and X4s being built. It takes something like fourteen hours to roll off the assembly line after the frame arrives from the paint booth. Don't know if the X7 is different but probably not that far off. Crazy how quickly they can crank them out...

3-4 weeks (from placing order to delivery) has been the norm here in Westchester. I placed the order on May 18th - it went into production the 20th.. and it was just delivered to the dealership on Monday, June 13th. Not bad at all..

No pics yet because I haven't picked it up yet. Will do this Friday.

My dealer was Westchester BMW told me when picking mine up this past Saturday that if I ordered one then it wouldn't go into production until the end of August due to all of their allocations being full.

They also can sell the 50i. They had 10-15 in stock for weeks.

If I wasn't starting production until August, I would wait another month or two for a 2020 model

I just have a conversation with my wife if we should cancel our order and wait until August for a 2020 model. The dealer already have my RRS that I trade in and we have another vehicle that we are using. It is just about waiting and a not very happy dealer after canceling 2 orders, and probably not getting our deposit back��

Check you local laws. Many states require dealers to return your deposit if there is no loss. For example if your car was not built or if it was built and they sold it. It may take a bit for them to sell your build though.
