How long before pickup date does production start
I ordered a 540i for pickup May 18 at the Welt and am just curious how far in advance I will start to see production progress on the BMW tracking site.
I am also agonizing over any changes to the spec. Med Blue / Cognac / Alum Rhombicle TrimI am considering a change to Alpine White and also the Alcantara headliner. The choices are dizzying and this is the first time I've ordered a car. |

Thanks. The parking bits are all included in the exec tier in the U.S., along with soft close doors, digital dash, and icon headlights.

I have the aluminum rhombical trim and I think it looks great. I had a friend who has a BMW see my car yesterday and she gushed over the aluminum trim. She has a 3 series with the aluminum trim and she thinks, correctly, that the 5 series is much nicer.

Aluminum Trim was my 2nd runner up - If I Went Black Nappa seats I was going with Aluminum Rhombicle hands down.
However having just come out of my M with Black Nappa and Carbon Fiber and having a Jeep Grand Cherokee with Black Leather/Alcantara I wanted a change.. so went with my #1 choice Ivory Nappa with Gray Poplar Trim.. - I think this will go good with Bluestone Metallic and a lot of Black and Carbon bits sometimes I still think man I should've went the other way for a sportier combo.. but I think I will be happy with the Change Id go Alcantara headliner if you can swing the additional cost

I had a 540i loaner for a weekend in Bluestone with the Gray Poplar trim. It made me nostalgic for the steel blue E32 735i my dad had in the early 90s. |

530e waiting frustrations
I have a 530e on order, built and seemingly sitting at Bremerhaven, a ship left in the wee hours but the Geniuses tell me that it's still Port of Exit status. Does anyone have an idea of how quickly the status from Port of Exit to At Sea takes? Is it likely to be a status delay or more likely to still be sitting in Bimmer Heaven?
Should be here by month end but after 5 months of waiting my 520d is getting a little stale! 530e M-Sport Sophisto Grey Metallic Sport Plus Visibility Pack Comfort Pack Sunroof Extended Bluetooth and Wireless charging Impatience is killing me. Last edited by Pimpf; 03-13-2018 at 05:58 AM.. |
