I live in France. Mon X5 is going to be delivered in May and it is thus too late to modify my order....

My X5 goes into production sometime this week or so (whenever April production starts). If you haven't already, you should check with your salesman, I have not yet gotten the call that it's about to change to the status where it the order can't be changed yet. I just changed my order on friday to add the active ventilated seats.

All right but to come in Europe, 6 weeks ago of transport by boat....

As my X5 must be delivered to me in France before the end of May, it means that it's in production or taken out of factory!

Good point. Mine should be delivered in May as well, but forgot to look to see where you were for transport........... I'm still used to it the other way around (car coming here from Europe).

I'd urge you to stay on top of your order yourself. Mine went to status 112 ("Order Scheduled for Production," at which point no changes can be made) without any notification from my CA. If I hadn't been calling the 800 number I would never have known about it. In fact I stopped by at the dealership on Friday to pick up some forms related to PCD and asked my CA to check on my order while I was there -- to my surprise it had gone into production already, a week ahead of schedule!

True. I was going more on my salesman (actually the GM of the dealership who sold me mine) saying they'd let me know, but you're right, better to do it yourself also.

Hopefully it was a pleasant surprise for you, as opposed to missing out on some changes you wanted to make and couldn't.

Well, I dithered for quite a while about one thing and another; but by the time I found out I couldn't make any changes I was pretty sure I had things the way I want them. I'll know when I get to drive it!

I believe I've seen others on here say they were able to get it dealer installed as an accessory after production, but I'm not positive. Do a search in the forum and you should find something if no-one responds with better information in this thread.

I think there is alot of confusion here...noone has actually confirmed that they had a dealer install the 6FL option. Several people have stated they had the dealer install the "Ipod" option after the fact, but when asked if this was actually the 6FL option or just the older CD Changer option they never respond. I doubt anyone has had the 6FL option installed to an existing vehicle, except of course the new deliveries we are hearing about.

Thanks a lot for these precisions....

The salesmen from BMW are not capable of answering me....
