Yeah, I'm actually considering doing this for real. True cross country/continent tour, PCD in S Carolina to Alaska. If production really is pushed back to Q1 2021, though, doing that drive through Canadian and Alaskan winter would not be fun.

Especially on summer performance tires

7/16 - Entered production
7/31 - Estimated completion

Wow that's really interesting indeed. Given the fact that my 2020 came off the line less than a week ago. Seems like they already switched over to 2021s! makes me feel like I just barely made it under the wire before they would have canceled my build

We lucked out buddy.

Yes we did. We got the last few 2020 X7s

Gotta wonder when the online configurator will switch over to MY2021, now that they're done with 2020

Yeah, if my car delivers anytime after October, I'll be buying a set of winter wheels and tires and putting them on right at the dealer before driving off the lot.

Well... I'll be buying a set of winter wheels and tires anyway. Just an issue of whether they go on first, or later.

Totally jealous. Wish I was doing a PCD soon! I think the museum is still closed, though.

It is...when I got the reservation confirmation they said the plant tour would not be included. Bummer, but I did this for the driving experience portion anyway. It was so awesome when I did it with my 428i Convertible!

Nice!! The dealer even added the bumper protection till you take it to the detailer I assume? That's great. I was planning on buying a roll of that track day film to get it over to the Detailers...

My estimated completion date is 8/8. If yours has been scheduled, you should call 800-831-1117 to get your estimated completion date. You'll need your production number or VIN but you probably don't have a VIN if production hasn't started.

Looks like I am right behind you. Estimated completion for me is 8/12. How long does it take for it to arrive at dealership (say in the midwest) after completion? 10-14 days?
