E70 X5 3.0sd M Sport Ordered

Hi,

This is my first post having followed this forum for a few months now.
Having test drove the 4.8 and 3.0d here in the UK I finally opted for the 3.0sd on the basis I would have to wait a while but know it will be worth it.

I know a few people have been discussing when we will get the 3.0sd. I finally have my order confirmed as on the system by my dealer. Aparently I am getting their first allocation.

If I have a DLr order number and AG order number is that as good as comfirmed by BMW? Subject so parts shortage or something moving the date.

This is what I got from the dealer

Dlr Order : xxxxxxx AG Order : xxxxxxx Chassis : Reg Mark :
Vin Prefix Engine Number Reg Date
Order Type RC Retail Customer
Dealer xxxxxxxxxx
Dealer Tel xxxxxxxxxx
Req Delivery Date 24/12/2007 Expected Week
52-12-2007
Quota Month 11/2007 Production Week 45-11-2007 Pref PM 11/2007
Current Event 25/07/2007 1100 Scheduled
First Consigned
Customer xxxxxxxxxx
Model ZXP4 E70 X5 3.0sd M Sport M57 3.0
Colour 475 Black Sapphire Metallic
Upholstery LUSW Black Nevada leather
Option 2M9 M V Spoke Style 227 M 10/11Jx20
Option 3AG Reversing Assist Camera
Option 3AP Graduated tinted windscreen
Option 319 Universal Remote Control
Option 402 Panoramic Glass Sunroof
Option 430 Auto-Dim Int + Ext Mirror

Option 5AC High beam assistant
Option 522 Xenon Headlamps

Has anyone else in the UK got this for their SD?
I am still deciding if I should get the adaptive drive.

Thanks for a great forum

Stephen

re Option 761 Sun Protection Glass

I had that on one of my 1 series cars it was a right pain. I used portable satnav and the road angel wouldn't work with it had to get the extra wee wire bit route it up and behind the rear view before these cadgets would work. Worth keeping in mind if you intend to use either.

Nice spec by the way

Thanks Scottie/steef100

I've gone for the media package which includes the full sat nav so hopefully the sun protection glass won't be an issue for me.
I've had it on order for a while with the dealer but they had not been able to place it on the system with BMW till now so looks like BMW are taking confirmed orders

Congratulations!!

I've got a pre-order in for the 3.0sd MSport. I'm 10th in the queue and waiting to get confirmation of dealer allocation to get an estimated delivery date. I'm probably looking at next March.

I assume if you've ordered Bmw themselves have all the 08 options and prices on their internal system. Did they indicate when brochures or the normal websites will be updated?

Did you see any 'new' options when you configured your car? any hint of Night Vision? The dealer mentioned something to me about soft close doors but not sure what this actually does.

My spec was based on what the dealer could see on the system when I placed the order a few months ago. I don't think Night Vision or soft close doors were an option back then. I need to go and see my dealer before production starts to nail down my spec but to be honest im already at £53k and considering the adaptive drive which is another £2k so don't think ill add anything else!

I to have been keeping an eye on the uk BMW website configurator and the SD sport is not on there yet for joe public.

What does night vision give you btw?

Thanks for the comments

Hi Dwarfer,

From memory the night vision provides an infa red image; so it's useful to identify early animals/people that otherwise you'd potentially see too late. (I could be wrong so someone feel free to correct) I believe they have this option on the 7 series.

Did you manage to get any price concessions from your dealer? After a struggle I managed to get £500 - not brilliant given the spec I'm looking at is coming in at 65k

No concession other than free mats! Did'nt really try though having read that most people in the UK were not able to get anything off the list more so with the SD which looks to be in high demand. My dealer also had some 20-30 down for the SD also so it seems that there is no shortage of buyers!
It's depressing to see that in America people are getting $2-3k off list on a car that costs half what we pay in the UK.
