Quota: 2019/10 Req. Prod: 2019/10/40 (I am not sure whether this their actual allocation. but she said so. Please let me know.) But anyway, we signed the agreement, they will ship another car from another dealer and I will get it this week. I will get the different car with higher price and they will cover the cost and shipping. Plus I don't think night vision is useful, so I am happy with that. But never know before I actually get the car. |

Ordered Oct 23, Delay due to full leather?
I ordered M50i Oct 23, included Full Merino Black Leather option. Was told by dealer that this is the reason my order is delayed until January. No mention of allocation. Dealer says there is a notice on the internal software showing it is due to an "individual" option which I assume is leather. Said they wait and run a bunch at a time on the assembly line.
Is this correct? |

Anyone know for sure what constitutes an "individual option"? Looking at the ordering guide, the only explicit mention of "individual" are a few of the interior trim choices.
Surely it's more than just that holding up these orders, right? I think I'd probably pick a different trim if it was going to delay the build by months. |

HOW any of those features are causing production delays, isn't clear. twesslen above reported his dealer says it's because BMW waits and produces several at a time in a bunch on the production line. |

We wanted the night vision also because of the deer. I need to take late flight often, that's why my wife wanted night vision. But I really hate to wait. So I go with the car in another dealer now.

That's a bummer. I should be ordering in the first week of December, and I was planning to go with full merino — but in ivory white. I wonder if the delay impacts ALL colors in full merino. Guess I'll find out soon.

You might luck out if the production run of full merino is scheduled for Jan. Really don't know if this is how it works or not but dealer seemed to think it was.

Finally! Love the color combo. Arctic Grey with shadowline? I know that was probably so frustrating to wait, but what do you think now that you have it?
When I picked mine up from the dealer, they had one of those car covers draped over it. I asked if they do that for everyone coming to pick up their car. He said, "Well no. But we had so many people asking to look at it and get in it, and we kept telling them they couldn't because this was a customer's car, so finally we just covered it up!" |

Another data point:
11/8 - order received 11/9 - production begins 11/19 - exterior body assembly begins 11/21 - quality check

So it's taking around 10 days for the car to reach dealer. |

I think the transport time depends on a number of factors. My dealer told me, however (I'm in the Northeast like you), that once a vehicle is dispatched from the factory, it only takes two days to get to the dealer. I'm guessing mine was slower because of Thanksgiving (?).
