10/10 Paid deposit
10/25 (about) got production number
11/13 went to status 112

According to both CA and BMW there is still no production week (checked today on 12/1).

Anybody think I'm going to see it in 2009? I seriously doubt it.

hmmm... I ordered 10/30, got a prod# 11/2 and will finish production 12/3.... my dealer has allocations for x5d.

I think if you have a production number it means you got an allocation, and it looks like I got mine before you... why then is my car not scheduled?

Another thought...I read somewhere that the LCI E70 will be unveiled in Detroit in January with deliveries of the '11 model starting in the US in March. If the delay gets any longer, I could always cancel my order for the '10 model and wait for the latest and greatest(?). I just found out we can drive my grandmother's old E39 528iT while we wait for delivery, so I don't mind the wait at this point.

My opinion is that your dealer did not have a slot open. I ordered my X5 after you and will be picking it up Saturday. But -- my dealer sells a ton of X5s and has a very large allocation.
