Placed 2020 M5 order

For anyone who might be interested, though I'm sure I'm not the first I placed an order today for a 2020 M5 (non competition). The dealer had an allocated show up just Friday last week that is already partially through the pre-build process but still able to be changed. Theoretical build date starting 7/21.

This is for delivery in the US and hopefully I'll get it before September

Thanks. Mine is already in build, so I'm hoping to have it here before Labor Day. Good luck on surviving the wait!

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I got lucky that the dealer had an allocation come through with an (almost) immediate build.

Mine is probably going to hit final assembly today, so unless it sits waiting for a boat for a while, I'm still on track.

I hear that. I've been planning on getting a 5 series since last summer and settled on the M5 (instead of the M550i) early this year. My existing lease ends on Aug 2nd and I really wanted to wait for the 2020 model (I wanted IDrive 7 and the new live cockpit) so I figured I'd be stuck renting something for a couple/few months. I was able to extend my lease 2 months and I should get the new one well before my lease ends.

The waiting is hard as hell though, isn't it.

Whoop, just saw on the BMW page my car is complete and awaiting carrier assignment!

Nice, sounds like you're getting real close! Congrats

Is your existing lease a BMW? If so (or just FYI), BMWFS allows up to 6 month extension (on a month to month prorated basis) if you have a new BMW ordered.

No, my existing lease is a Ford, but they do 2 months courtesy extension (which is common in the industry from what I'm told), so as long as my BMW gets into my hands before Oct 2nd I should be good.

They can extend even further - my X6 lease was extended by a total of 7 months due to the delay in the F90's delivery in my case.

Good to know. I guess you had extenuating circumstances.

My understanding is BMWFS gives 3 months courtesy, and another 3 (or looks like a bit more under certain conditions) if an order is placed.
