Any particular reason you picking the run flats?

Wheel/tire protection prices vary and are negotiable - expect $1,400-$2,000 with many also offering dent removal, windshield repair and key replacement included.

The order sheets made the non runflats seem like they were priority 1 and I didn't want to wait just for tires as I 'll need new ones some time in the future anyways.

Priority 1 is not the same as individual. No extra wait. P1 is "customer sold" and moves up the list

So would changing to those tires speed up the build process?

I think if you place an order, then the car becomes priority 1 anyway. A copy of the VIR from the dealer will show this

It won't move to 112 until about a week or so prior to production beginning.

Nice build! I have the mocha/fineline matte interior as well. Awesome combo IMO. Don't worry too much about the park assist plus coming off the premium package. They also dropped the price of the premium package by exactly the price of park assist plus, so it's all a wash.

I am PW45 and also hoping for a Christmas present.

Thanks for that info, helps me know I didn't get bent over for some administrative coding.

Nice build. I just ordered the Mediterranean blue but thought the mocha might be a little dark so i went with the Merino Tartufo. The marino leather comes with the leather dash but your forced to order the luxury seating package which i was ordering anyway.

Just a suggestion but if you might get non run flats in the future I would get the space saving spare for only $150. It includes spare plus a jack and a removable tray to hold it all. A steal in BMW world. Imo

That's a good idea, I'll probably update my order and more than likely have them change to the PSS for only 150 more as well. I know how much of an improvement you can get from a good set of tires and I definitely want to get that wow factor after breaking in the engine.

I really do love the look of Tartufo but I don't want the added wait...it's a difficult decision really. Does it actually add at least a month to the order on average? I'd be looking at late January into February.

Hopefully not. I ordered on 10/1, told my build date was 11/27 and I should get it around Christmas. We will see.

I'm getting run flats but I'm still getting the spare. For $150 I'll have a car jack and a spare I can leave in or take out if I'm packing the trunk.

Good luck. Like i said great color combo.

So instead of changing the interior, mocha has started to appeal to me more and read that nappa should be more durable than merino (kids), I decided to take that money and add the handling package and the non runflats.

Haha - you now have almost my exact build except I also added ceramic controls and Azurite paint.

I'm wondering what kind of deal you're getting on yours? My dealer was only able to do $5k off MSRP before incentives.

I haven't even sat down to discuss price yet, just made my down payment over the phone when I started the order and here I am.

You really shouldn't order a car before you've agreed on a price. Since it's already on order they are less inclined to give you a deal.

Thats a good point, I'm going to call them tomorrow. I have some time to play with if they go sour and can get my deposit back, it's not a must have asap other than a toy. Have about 5 BMW dealers within an hour of me so it'll end up going positive one way or another.

I ended up sending an email to the sales managers in all the dealerships in my area telling them I wanted an allocation spot now and pricing under Invoice. Got a few responses and ended up $1500 under invoice.

2019 M550i
Mediterranean Blue
20" 668M run flats changed to PSS + spare
Mocha Nappa with luxury seating package and heated front seats
Fineline Cove Matte trim
Driving Assistance Plus
added Dynamic Handling
Executive
Parking Assistance (no longer in premium after August )
Premium
Leather Dash


Now the wait begins




Edit:
Has anyone received quotes for the wheel protection warranty? I haven't had a vehicle with wheels larger than 18" before so I don't know if I need to worry about it or not. Have only had one issue where I was stupid with my current car and scraped a wheel so I think I'll be ok there, just concerned with pot holes and bending wheels.
Hi I am excited for mine to come. I ordered it late july and it was supposed to be here by now. first it waited at the port in germany for 2 weeks and the when it finally got to Oxnard Ca there was a hold put on delivery. Last week I got a text from my sales person saying that about 1300 5 and 7 series cars were affected by some "minor" mechanical defect of the oil pan. I hope this does not delay my car too much. Also i hope your car is not affected or delayed too. just an aside did you notice that due to packaging the price was about $1500 less that the same spec for a 2018.

Best Rob

ps here is my spec
M550i – base price 74,450.00
Options: with price
A90 - Color – ext. dark graphite metallic - NC
LCFK - Int. black Dakota leather w/contrast stitching - NC
4LH - Int trim – fine line cove matte finish wood trim - NC
ZDB - Diving asst pkg plus – 1700.00
ZDH - Dynamic handling pkg – 3600.00
ZPP - Premium pkg – 1950.00
ZPX - Executive pkg – 1100.00
494 - Heated front seats – 500.00
6F1 - B and W Diamond Surround sound system – 3400.00
22E – INCLUDES 300 -Wheels – code 22E, style 668M 20” double spoke, Micheline pilot SS, non-run flat 1100.00
Destination and Handling – 995.00

Total less tax, title and reg- 88,795.00
