Looking for Nov or Dec Build slot for a 4.8

nickwild · #1 11-06-2006, 08:34 PM

I'm hoping to find a build slot for a 4.8 before the end of the year. I'm in the Seattle area but would be willing to figure out something from an out of area dealer. Just moved here- 2 Person household with 1 car right now and Pacific NW Winter + my M3 not the greatest combo.

Leads, dealer contacts appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

Did you talk to any local dealer in your area? What do they say? You can also ask the dealers on edmunds.com

Sorry to clarify - local dealers look like January is best build slot which would leave me getting a car at end of Jan early Feb

at that point, you are better waiting off until april.... when new features will be available.

FYI-- there is a "modification block" on all November and December production slots, so even if it is still in 111/112 status, you CAN NOT change the configuration of the car. If you want to order it to your specs, January production is the earliest that you can get.

IMHO, there wouldn't be any new features to a new generation X5 after 6mos. of initially releasing it...

I think he means features like auto lift tailgate and some color/leather which will only start as of April 2007. See my custom page for more.

you are wrong. new features ARE coming in April which include some leathers, auto tail gate feature, HD radio, and possibly some others. night vision is also on the way, but that is not known if it is april or later in the year.

the current x5 documentation reflects most of this info (except the night vision... which you can learn from the few reputable dealers).
