I did get my 2025 X7 xDrive40i late last week. It was built in early April and sat in Quality Check over about two days. So far, it has been a great car. I'm still trying to figure out a few things: 1) how to best use the keys to automatically open the rear door, but not keep opening and closing when I walk by the car (all my other cars have the comfort access on all four doors), 2) how to get the Drive Recorder to work, 3) best configuration for all the 50 driving options. Every time I drive the car, I notice more options to configure.

I haven’t logged in here in a few days, but I picked up my X7 last week as well. So far I’m loving the new car. The ride is smooth and acceleration is effortless. This is the most luxurious car I’ve owned by a wide margin!
That being said, I’m not a fan of digging into iDrive menus for everything, although I hope things will get easier as I get more familiar with the interface and get it set up the way I want. Also I haven’t found the perfect seating position yet despite the million ways in which the seat can be adjusted. And I can now see what all the complaints about anemic A/C are all about. The physical vent design as well as the algorithm in Auto mode are major fails from BMW and embarrassing in a $100k+ car. Oh, and I think I’m hearing a faint rumble from the wheels area at highway speeds. Going to go for a couple more highway drives to confirm before bringing it up to my sales advisor. Quote:
2. I had to watch several iDrive videos on YT to figure this out as Drive Recorder, Data Privacy, and many other ”apps” were simply missing initially in my case. Even automatic date/time adjustment was disabled. Long-pressing the Parking Assistant button launches the Drive Recorder, after which you can set it up. Once it is configured, long-pressing the Parking button will also start manual recording. 3. I’ve been watching a lot of videos from Chris’s Bimmers, Beamerview, BMWBlog, etc. to learn all the iDrive 8.5 tips and tricks. |

Mine moved last week as well. Thought for some reason they would call out expected production/step dates in 'My Garage' but that doesn't seem to be the case? Or am I just missing something?

New to BMW
Recently ordered my first BMW. Owned several Audi Q7's in the past and excited to get my X7. I do have a question for those of you with experience ordering from BMW. I could not find an answer searching the forum, so apologies if the answer is somewhere else.
My Order is set for Week 22 (May 27th). The SA is telling me this means that car should be delivered mid to late June. So it seems like from the point it moves into production it takes two to three weeks for the entire build process. Does this seem accurate? |

- Scheduled for production (you can make changes) will happen when you dealer has an allocation, and it will sit in this state until 2 weeks prior to production (your build week / day). - Production begins (build locked) will happen 2 weeks prior to your build day and you get a VIN. You can also now see your build day in My Garage using F12 in browser. - Assembly begins on build day and is usually completed in 1 day unless you get stuck in QC. - Carrier assignment / transit will take a couple days to a week depending on how far you are from SC. Your dealer will know the time it takes for travel once awaiting carrier. You can track all this in the app now as well as online. |
