So you're finally taking delivery of your BTO X5...

a - it might work
b - they might call you bluff
c - you'd have a brand new X5 waiting when you got out of jail

Two out of three ain't bad

You won't know unless you try.

Or maybe I'll purchase a one way plane ticket to Texas. It's obvious that the delivery truck passes through there soon!

FWIW the BMW NA website finally caught up with reality this afternoon and told us that our X5 was at our BMW Center.

For the record, our X5 had been delivered late Saturday and I already had pictures of it being driven to service Monday AM (yesterday) [see above]. So over the course of the build the BMW NA site was chronically behind actual events by 2-3 days But the 800# was much more timely - typically delayed by less than 24 hours The best info source however was our SA's emailed screen dumps which were both more timely and contained more detailed info..
