Just ordered BMW X5 35d

[wch X5]

I thought about Vermillion Red but in the end went with Space Gray. My current X5 is black and is a pain to keep clean although looks great when it is clean.

Ordered Vermilion Red as well. I wanted Saddle but when I had to fight over exterior color (wife wanted Mineral Green) I didn't have the energy for the Saddle fight and we went with Beige. As much as I love Saddle, I really didn't like the black seat backs which I think was why I didn't fight over it.

Check with your dealer, but I think you can change the color and interior up until about 2 weeks before production start.

I have verification from my salesman, including an internal BMW memo he made me promise not to post online. It basically says the credit is being extended through October and all orders placed up to 8/31 will get production slots. It also states that from now on (through the end of October) dealers will have to use an allocation they currently possess or trade for it. I.e., no taking orders without an allocation then asking BMW to grant an extra slot, which apparently is what has effectively occurred the last week or so.

As I posted elsewhere, BMW NA usually does the right thing in the end. It's just too bad they often generate loads of ill will by taking too much time to make the correct decision. They end up the same place in the end; however, they generate ill will while they putz around with the thumb in a warm place.

How much does $1000 over invoice end up costing, if you don't mind me asking?

We bought a CPO'ed Loaded 2007 4.8i and I'm curious to see what the difference between what we paid and what a New one is.

Thanks!

Going to sleep on it. Other choices were white, Space grey and the silver ( silver last because we have 3 other silver vehicles) Swore off black since my present X5 is Sapphire black and I swore off black when I bought it (but I wouldn't listen to myself!) this after having 4 other black cars. NO MORE BLACK. Yet I'm thinking that the Vermillion red is going to require just as much attention as the black. I know it's a personal decision but I'm open to input.

You can change colors till it goes into production. Here is 3.0 and 4.8 in Vermillion red.

$1000 over invoice ended up as $57400. Not exactly fully loaded, but with many options ticked.

What does priority 1 color mean? Does the red cost you extra? It looks very good on the x5 expecially with the 20" wheels.
