Got my production date!

[hookman]

I'm so psyched! I was told when I purchased my X5 that it would take 6-8 weeks, but hopefully I will get it sooner. I've read through a lot of this forum on what to do and how to bargain, things to look for, etc., so thanks to all! Here's the schedule so far:

2-11-08 Sent out email offers or filled out web apps to various dealerships (responses came back literally minutes after)
2-12-08 After reviewing 6 or so offers, I accepted the best offer and put down money to order and got production number.
2-13-08 Signed onto BMW USA driver's circle with production number, and it had the wrong vehicle. I have learned that it takes the system a few days to catch up.
2-15-08 BMW USA driver's circle now shows my correct vehicle, but still no production date.
2-18-08 Called BMW USA and was checking on my status. They gave me my VIN # and told me to expect it around mid-March barring no problems.
2-18-08 Dealership emailed me to tell me that the vehicle is expected to be produced by 2-26-08, so this confirms what BMW USA has mentioned.


Here's what I got:

2008 BMW X5 4.8i
Platinum Bronze
Tobacco Nevada Leather
Dark Bamboo Wood Trim
Premium Package
Technology Package
Comfort seats w/ lumbar support
iPod/USB Adapter
OEM Trailer hitch installed

I pondered on the sports package as I love the 214 rims, but I'm not big on low-profile tires.

I'll keep this updated!
